Unidentified first Yresilini general

A Yresilini was trained as a general by the Chiss student Sev'rance Tann at some point by 22 BBY. Tann had been challenged by a professor at the Chiss Academy to train a group of Yresilini into an army, overcoming the species' perceived untrainable nature. Tann began by appointing one Yresilini as a general and giving him several rudimentary commands, which the general and his fellow creatures laughed at. Tann had the general executed in front of the other Yresilini, and then chose a successor who obeyed her instructions implicitly and led the other Yresilini to do likewise.
