Lonna Vash

Lonna Vash was a Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council during the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. She was one of the Masters that banished the Jedi Exile from the Jedi Order.

Biography
When the Order was disbanded, the surviving Masters went into self-imposed exile. Lonna Vash chose to hide on Korriban in the abandoned Sith Academy.

The Jedi Exile eventually arrived on Korriban during his search for the Jedi Masters. However, unbeknownst to her, the Sith Lord Darth Sion reached the planet before him; when the Exile entered the academy, the front door closed, trapping her inside. She found Master Vash lying dead in a pool of blood in the interrogation chamber—Sion used her as bait for the Exile.

Fortunately, the Exile found out that Vash, when still alive, had created a user account under her name in the academy's security system. This account would make it possible for her to open the front door and escape in case of danger. Using this account, the Exile fled from the academy after a short battle with Sion, whom she proved to be unable to kill.

Vash was tortured in the same room where Revan attempted to interrogate with a Mandalorian prisoner 3 years ago.

Behind the scenes
Lonna Vash's role was bigger in the developers' original vision, but, like many other incomplete things, it had to be cut because of the forced premature release of the game.

She was planned to be found by the player on M4-78, the droid planet, where she came searching for the Exile with her Padawan, Kaah Ohtok. The corresponding speech was even recorded and put in the game resources, but was never used in the actual game, as well as the incomplete planet. However, as Vash was a Council member shown in an important cut scene, the developers placed her dead body on (also incomplete) Korriban to explain what happened to her.
