Biography
Trinnolt Makken was a Human Commander in the Imperial Navy. Makken had retired from service in the navy by the year of 43 ABY, during which he was appointed by the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances to be the Jedi supervisor of bounty hunter Tahiri Veila. Veila, who had once been a Jedi Knight as well as a Sith apprentice, claimed that since she was no longer a Jedi she should not have a supervisor, to which Makken replied that the law applied to Sith as well. Veila, however, was no longer a Sith, either, and finally convinced Makken to leave her by threatening to throw him out her window. The matter was later taken to court in The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances versus Tahiri Veila, with the Twi'lek lawyer Nawara Ven helping defend Veila. The Court of Justice, led by Lorrdian Chief Justice Uved Pledesin, ruled with Veila, stating that just because someone held a set of skills did not mean that they required a supervisor.

Personality and traits
Trinnolt Makken was brief and abrupt when dealing with others, and often dispensed pleasantries, preferring to get straight to business. When talking with Veila, he showed that he was also arrogant, as well as rather grim, responding humorlessly to her often sarcastic remarks.

Behind the scenes
Trinnolt Makken made a brief appearance as a minor character in the first Fate of the Jedi novel, Outcast, by Aaron Allston.
