Biography

Early life and Jedi training
As a child, the Human female who would be known as the Jedi Exile was found and separated from her parents by the Jedi Order. Like many young Jedi to be mindful of her powers, especially her aptitude for severing one’s connection to the Force.

The Mandalorian Wars
When the Mandalorian Neo Crusaders Jedi Knight during the war, but no knowledge is known as to how this happened.

Overseeing the final battle at the Sith planet Malachor V, she gave the order to activate the Mass Shadow Generator when it was clear that the bulk of the Republic’s forces, led by HK-47 to eliminate the Exile, but Revan, who referred to her as a Jedi “who was already dead,” wanted her to face the Council and show them the hypocrisy of their teachings, and so let her leave.

Despite an imioned plea, exile the former Jedi, even going so far as to comment that it was as though she were already dead.

The Dark Wars
Full details of the Exile’s adventures in the Malak and the last of the Jedi were being hunted down and exterminated. The Harbinger, a Republic cruiser bound for Onderon, had been ordered by the Republic iral Carth Onasi—a veteran of the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War—to abort the planned trip and head to the Outer Rim in order to pick up the Exile. She was requested to be given status as a diplomatic enger and escorted to Telos IV, though it was made clear that she was to be given no special treatment nor to make any indications of her identity.

During the trip to Telos, the ship received a distress call from a low-stock freighter, claiming to be engaged in a firefight with a Sith warship. When the Harbinger arrived, they found the ship derelict; after the crew boarded the vessel they found it to be empty, save for the battered body of Sith Lord T3-M4, the Exile was taken care of and the Ebon Hawk was guided to the nearby Peragus Mining Facility.

When the Exile awoke from her torpor in the mining facility’s medlab, she found Mass Shadow Generator and served under the Exile at Malachor V, saw the crash and pulled the three unharmed from the wreckage.

While on the surface, they learned that the Ebon Hawk had been taken to the old planetary aqueducts in the polar region of the planet. Commandeering a shuttle from an abandoned military compound, the Exile and her companions traveled to the aqueducts and found Jedi Master Atris there, a former member of the Council that sentenced the Exile. Atris was attempting to recover lost Jedi teachings and had surrounded herself with several Echani sisters. These sisters, known as Handmaidens, had vowed not to learn the ways of the Jedi. After a heated debate over what the Brianna was ordered by Atris to sneak aboard the Ebon Hawk and aid the Exile in her mission in order to monitor the Exile’s activities in order to confirm that the Exile still served the light side. The crew, together with its newest member, went off to these worlds in search of the Jedi in an attempt to unite them against the Sith and to find the answers as to why the Exile was sentenced as such.

During her adventures, the Exile met many beings who became her companions. She found many of them to be Force-sensitive, and thus she trained them in the Jedi ways. During this time the Dark Lord of the Sith Jedi and welcomed his honesty, Rand asked the Exile if she would train him to be a Jedi. The Exile agreed, training him as a Jedi Sentinel.

At this point Brianna renounced her oath to Atris, and pledged herself to the Exile’s training and service for as long as they would be together.

The Exile endeavored to stabilize the political conditions on several planets

In search of the Lost Jedi
The Exile endeavored to stabilize the political conditions on several planets: on bounty hunter Mira, who ed her party on Nar Shaddaa, was Force-sensitive, and she showed Mira how to harness the Force.

When the Exile and her crew traveled to Onderon, the Ebon Hawk was attacked by one of General Vaklu’s commanders, Colonel Tobin. After destroying the Onderonian starfighters sent to intercept the Ebon Hawk, they were forced to land on Dxun, the moon of Onderon where she fought during the bolstered its defenses and finalized the battle plans with the local militia leader, Zherron. She and Lamar fought in the ensuing battle, killing Azkul and his mercenaries. Having successfully defending Khoonda, she spoke with Lamar, and convinced him to meet with the other Jedi Masters she would find at the Academy.

The Exile eventually received a message from the Mandalorian Kelborn, telling her that he had received a message from Kavar. She traveled to Dxun, where Kelborn told her that Vaklu met with the Council of Lords, and had them declare Queen Talia, who was his cousin, guilty of treason. Kreia sensed something stirring on Dxun, and asked Kelborn whether or not they picked up anything on their sensors. Kelborn confirmed that they had, and the Exile sent three of her crew to deal with the Civil War. After the battle, the Exile spoke with Kavar, who said he would meet with her and the Council on Dantooine.

The Exile went in search of the Sith Academy.

While exploring the shyrack caves near the Sith Academy, she found the hidden tomb of the Sith Lord Kreia and various of her party, and finally a silent apparation of Darth Revan, with whom she did battle. During these sequences much of her character was revealed, determined by her choices.

After locating and conversing with all of the remaining Jedi Masters, the Exile returned to Dantooine to find the rebuilt Jedi Enclave. There, Masters Lamar, Kavar, and Ell had formed a Council in which they would decide her fate. The Masters concluded that, through her actions at Malachor V, she had become a wound in the Force. They stated that she carried the deaths of all who died in the battle within her, and that she regained her connection to the Force by feeding on death and leeching the life energy of her companions. According to the Masters, the Sith had learned their ability to feed on the Force from her, and thus she was a threat to all living beings, and possibly the Force itself, and in time she might possess the same magnitude of power like Darth Nihilus and ultimately consume the galaxy. They deemed it necessary that she be stripped of the Force with or without her consent; she submitted to their sentence. Having re-established her previous sentence of exile, they attempted to strip her of the Force, but before they could finish, Kreia stormed into the meeting to save the Exile at the last moment. The Exile, still under her stasis established by the reconvened Jedi Council, was left helpless and could not defend them as Kreia, who revealed her true identity as the Sith Lord Darth Traya, used the Force to drain the Jedi Masters of the powers, putting them through the same suffering the Exile had felt on Malachor V. This left them not only dead, but void of the Force.

Against the Sith Triumvirate
After Traya left, the Exile finally regained her strength and departed for Telos IV to find and confront her. There the Exile found Brianna defeated at the hands of a corrupted Atris. In order to save Brianna, the Exile was thus forced to confront Atris, who had fallen to the the Sith Lord.

After crashing on the surface of Malachor V, the Exile proceeded to the Trayus Academy, where she demonstrated her strength with the Force and her skill in Jedi and spared the wounded Sith Lord.

Rather than accept mercy, Traya became enraged and continued to fallen Jedi Order.

the Exile formed bonds with her comrades

Personality and traits
Throughout her life, the Exile formed bonds with her comrades, even those who were supposedly her superiors or lesser in rank. It was said that during her training, many fellow Padawans were quick to do whatever she did, and that others disliked her intensely. She was regarded as a natural leader and a quick learner as well as generous and kind, though beyond this the personality of her early life is largely unknown. In the wake of the Mandalorian Wars, the Exile returned to the Jedi Temple on war and its end with Bao-Dur, her old friend from the war. Her wanderings served to maintain the discipline she had built up during her years of training and suffering the hardships of war.

Starting with her meeting of Mandalorian Wars, she also understood the nature of war and battle and the hard choices that had to be made when conflict was inevitable.

Powers and abilities
The Exile, at first, was a Force of average ability, yet she was a natural leader. At a young age she demonstrated an unusual ability to influence others, and the Vrook Lamar that this was because of the wound in the Force that surrounded her, which allowed her—like Darth Nihilus — to feed on the death of other life forms to sustain her Force powers. This wound was caused by the Battle of Malachor V, and was what originally blocked her connection to the Force. It was also because of the nature of such wounds to feed on death that the Exile began to regain her Force connection on Peragus II, after all the personnel were killed by HK-50’s machinations. When the Exile traveled the galaxy, killing hundreds in her search for the Masters, she unconsciously fed on all that death, fueling her powers. It was this that caused the Masters such fear—both at her trial and after she had united them on Dantooine—as they thought her condition to be not only a threat to the Jedi and the Force, but a threat to life itself.

Through her informal apprenticeship to Jedi Council, and after Kreia, who had revealed herself as Darth Traya, betrayed the Exile by murdering the Masters.

The Exile defeated a number of high-profile adversaries, including Azkul, Vaklu, Atris, and the Darth Sion who could not be defeated by normal means. The Exile eventually convinced Sion to let go of the Force and to finally allow himself to leave his life of pain and die. The Exile remains the only known light-sided Jedi that used the technique to it’s greatest extent (most Jedi that used the technique used an inverse variant of the technique, or in limited applications only).

The Exile was also a very skilled tactician. She served during the Mandalorian Wars and had, by war’s end, risen to become medical and combat droids. Within a matter of mere hours, she had turned a disorganized mess into a powerful army, able to defeat the larger forces of Azkul.

The Exile was fluent in droidspeak, having worked alongside many utility droids during the card game in which the goal was to reach 20 without going over.

The ramifications of the Exile’s actions were still being felt throughout the galaxy nearly 4,000 years after the defeat of Darth Traya and the Wars and Jedi Civil War, had been teetering on the edge of collapse, prolonging its existence for several thousand more years.
