Lucien Draay

"How can I even contemplate such a thing? Your Master Lucien is the scion of an important family &mdash; both in the Republic and in the Jedi Order."

- Vandar Tokare to Zayne Carrick

Lucien Draay was a Human Jedi Master stationed at the Jedi Temple on Taris as of 3,964 BBY, and was apparently the leader of the Masters there. He was the padawan of Haazen - a Jedi Knight who barely survived the Great Sith War - and eventually trained [Zayne Carrick]] as his own. He alone of the Jedi Masters on Taris was a Guardian, and he wielded a blue lightsaber. He was also a member of the Jedi Covenant.

Biography
The son of Krynda Draay and a Jedi who died in the Great Sith War, Lucien was a member of a powerful and important family. Even though he was an only child and grew up without a father, he seemed distant from his mother and was often under the care of the household droid Ninebeedee.

Lucien grew even more distant from Kryndra when he was not allowed to train with her students. However, as Lucien became older he was made Haazen's padawan.



As years went by Lucien, under Haazen's tutelage, proved himself to be more of a warrior than his father had ever been. He was able to beat four other Jedi apprentices, though his mother did not approve of this. She and Haazen determined that the four Jedi would become the greatest seers of the Jedi. However, they needed someone to help them in protection and arranging. As a result, Lucien was officially inducted into the Jedi Order on a probationary trial, and then into the Covenant.

Based on Force sensings of Jedi Master Q'Anilia, Draay had reason to believe that dark changes were brewing in the Force. Therefore, in consultation with his mother and fellow Jedi Masters Q'Anilia, Raana Tey, Xamar and Feln, Master Draay planned and carried out the Padawan Massacre of Taris. Draay's own Padawan, Zayne Carrick, escaped the slaughter because he was running late.

Draay was shocked that Zayne, of all the Padawans on Taris, was the one to escape harm. Apparently, the Masters had reason to believe that one of the Tarisian Padawans was to fall to the dark side. However, he was confident in his ability to track down and capture Zayne, having framed him for the murders of the other Padawans. Indeed, Draay was consumed by this search, placing it even above his loyalty to the Galactic Republic.

Draay was particularly close to Q'Anilia (though as a teenager, doubted her and the Miraluka's ability) and trusted her insight that Zayne and his ally Marn "Gryph" Hierogryph were headed for Taris' Undercity. However, Q'Anilia proved to be mistaken and Draay and his fellow Masters had to battle rakghouls and did not discover Carrick. Informed by Master Xamar that sightings of Zayne and Gryph had been made in the Lower City, Draay helped Constable Sowrs lead a force to arrest the duo at Junk Junction. Unfortunately for Draay, Zayne and Gryph escaped on the Last Resort. Master Lucien refused Constable Sowrs' offer of help to continue the pursuit after Zayne and Gryph left the surface of Taris, telling Sowrs it was "a Jedi problem."

It was the bounty hunter Valius Ying that captured and brought Zayne into custody to the Jedi Council on Taris. Lucien Draay told Zayne the truth in front of the hunter. He then murdered Ying in cold blood, and Zayne would have been next if not for the surprise rescue from Jarael and the crew of the Last Resort.

Weeks later, after a series of riots breaking out due to the escape of Zayne, Lucien and the other four members of Jedi Covenant lost Taris and were ordered by the Jedi High Council to go to Coruscant &mdash; but not before they received a message from Zayne Carrick. He gave them an alleged vision of his own and threatened to hunt them down and force one of them to confess and clear his name.

Upon returning to Coruscant, Lucien and the other masters attempted to meet with Krynda Draay. However, they were denied entrance by the household droid. Lucien met with the Jedi Council and informed them that he might as well have killed the Padawans of Taris. Lucien asked that the Jedi Covenant be leading the search for his renegade Padawan. Master Vrook Lamar denied him and ordered that they be reassigned to separate postings.

Before separating, Lucien was given a report on a "project" by Raana Tey. Lucien once again attempted to see his mother. However, back at the Draay estate, all he found was Haazen who lectured Lucien on how he caused the Covenant to just escape exposure. Lucien demanded to know where his mother was, but Haazen refused to give him a straight answer. Lucien left yelling that there was something that he wasn't telling him&hellip; but there was also something that Lucien wasn't telling Haazen.

Behind the scenes
