Kiel Charny

"Stars know I would not be here if I were any good at anything else!"

- Kiel Charny

Kiel Charny was a Human male, who served as a Jedi General for the Galactic Republic during the New Sith Wars. He was murdered by the Jedi initiate Darovit, who subsequently defected to the Brotherhood of Darkness.

Biography


Charny was the Padawan of Master Handa; he became the lover of another of Handa's students, Githany, who was only a year younger than Charny. Handa was outraged at their affair, and harshly rebuked them, one of many factors leading to Githany betraying the Jedi and joining the Brotherhood of Darkness. Charny refused to follow her on that path.

After completing his apprenticeship, Kiel Charny became a charismatic general in the Army of Light on Ruusan. Charny was killed by Darovit, the boy also known as Tomcat, by lightsaber decapitation under Githany's command during the Sixth Battle of Ruusan.

After his death, the planet Charny in the Ruusan system was named for him.
