Unidentified envoy

"One day&hellip;one day I'll pluck every one of your feathers and tickle you with them!"

- Lord Farfalla

The Envoy was a winged female Jedi in the service of Valenthyne Farfalla during the Ruusan campaign. On good terms with the charismatic Farfalla, the Envoy played a key role in mediating the frosty relationship between Lord Hoth and her own commander. This enabled the defeat of the Brotherhood of Darkness, though at great cost to the Jedi.

Biography
"Be careful! How would it look to Lord Farfalla if his envoy were killed?"

- The Envoy greets Petja

As a member of Farfalla's Knights, the Envoy was one of the 300 Jedi Knights who traveled with Valenthyne Farfalla from his homeworld to join in Lord Hoth's Ruusan campaign.



After braving the Sith blockade over Ruusan, the Knights were able to rescue the Army of Light from Sith speeders by making a daring salvo from Farfalla's flagship. However, they received a hostile reception from Lord Hoth who was still bitter about his many losses against the Sith. He blamed Farfalla for arriving too late, a complaint deriving from his long rivalry and dislike of Farfalla.

This led to a stalemate between the two parties, with both the Jedi Lords refusing each other's help. Seeing that Lord Hoth's forces were walking into a trap and that her Lord was too stubborn to help, the envoy took matters into her own hands. Flying to the Army of Light, she claimed to bring a message from Lord Farfalla. Along with military information gathered on Hoth's forces, she brought an "apology" from Farfalla. Hoth believed this promise to be sincere, and reciprocated.

Returning to their flagship, the Envoy delivered Hoth's apology. Farfalla temporarily believed it, before, much amused, seeing through it. Nevertheless, he engaged the Sith forces, overwhelming them in the Seventh Battle of Ruusan, while Hoth went to engage Lord Kaan in a cave system. When Lord Kaan unleashed his thought bomb, wiping out Lord Hoth's forces, The Envoy survived, having retreated with the rest of the Knights from the range of the bomb.

Appearance


The Envoy was a female of a species with both humanoid and avian characteristics. Her upper limbs were wings, fully capable of flying&mdash;her primary form of locomotion.

Her lower limbs were also avian and were able to grasp and manipulate items, such as her sword which she used to fight. She was very agile, able to pluck arrows out of the air, as occurred when Petja accidentally shot at her.

The Envoy appeared to have two small horns on her forehead, with a long flame-red hair. She typically wore a gold earring in her humanoid ears and dressed in the red and gold livery common among Farfalla's forces.

Behind the scenes
It is unclear whether The Envoy was actually a Jedi Knight, as she does not wield a lightsaber or use the Force in the Jedi vs. Sith comic. However, it was stated that Farfalla brought 300 Knights with him, so it is likely that she was one as well.

The Envoy resembles a harpy, a creature from Greek mythology. Many of the species in Jedi vs. Sith appeared to be based on mythological creatures, such as satyrs and cyclopes.
