Haazen

"Look at me! I lived through the Sith War! I know the risk better than you!"

- Haazen to Lucien Draay

Haazen was a Jedi who lived in the pre-Ruusan Old Republic era. He was also the former Padawan of Barrison Draay as well as a close associate of Barrison's wife Krynda Draay, a member of her Jedi Covenant, and the former mentor of her son, Lucien.

Early years and Jedi training
Although he was a "failed Padawan" according to Lucien Draay, Haazen had fought in the Great Sith War along side Barrison Draay, Lucien's father. It was during this time that both of his legs, along with his right arm and eye had been lost and replaced with prosthetics. Due to his mutilated appearance Haazen took to wearing an all-concealing cloak. After the war, Haazen followed Krynda Draay, and served as her retainer, much the same as when he served her husband.

Forming the Covenant
At the Draay Estate, Krynda began to form a cabal within the hold of the Jedi Order unbeknownst to the Council. Though not serving as a Jedi anymore, she trained seers and then inserted them in the Order as Knights. Not wanting anything to do with those in the Jedi Temple, Haazen was her liaison with the Order and all other contacts throughout the Galaxy.

While Krynda was training a group of Jedi seers that would form the prophisized First WatchCircle, Haazen began training her son, Lucien&mdash;who was not particularly fond of it. When four seers of the Covenant&mdash;Feln, Q'Anilia, Raana Tey and Xamar&mdash;were relocated to the Jedi Tower on Taris, Haazen recommended to Krynda that Lucien be the one to serve them as Hand.

Disaster on Taris
Weeks after the Padawan Massacre of Taris, a series of riots began to breakout due to the escape of Lucien's Padawan, Zayne Carrick. With Taris lost, the Jedi High Council recalled the masters to Coruscant for their failures. Upon meeting, Haazen blamed his former apprentice for nearly exposing the Covenant and reducing its effectiveness, as well as for not bringing the Padawans to him and Krynda to be examined. He then ordered Lucien to bring Zayne Carrick to him alive. Lucien refused, saying that while Zayne was still alive he posed too great of risk. The decrepit Jedi grew angry and further emphasized that he and Krynda alone&mdash;having both lived through the Great Sith War&mdash;knew best how to deal with such a threat, and then repeated his orders to Lucien.

The First WatchCircle fractures
After the Circle was split up by Vrook Lamar, Haazen continued to aid in their effort. The Economic Study Circle predicted the decline in Telerath's peacefulness and ordered the Draay Trust to sell of its stocks there before it fell to pieces. As the Mandalorian Wars erupted in the galaxy and Zayne Carrick was captured by Admiral Saul Karath, Haazen put aside the Covenants mission of capturing Zayne and stopping the Mandalorians in pursuit of a more dire situation. Acting on Miraluka visions of an evil, mindless and faceless being rising and destroying everything in it's path. Among these visions were a meeting of enemies, one of which was identified as being Adascorp's leader and Lucien's old friend, Arkoh Adasca.

Haazen sent a holographic transmission to Telerath for Lucien relating the details. Haazen also related that Adasca was attempting to make contact with the Revanchist. Haazen ordered Lucien to investigate the situation and discover the source of the dark power. Haazen was also somehow able to get Lucien on the Jedi Council so the Covenant's agents could move about freely. After his appointment, Haazen called Lucien to order him back to the Draay Estate to report on Celeste Morne.

Dark Intentions
Just prior to Zayne Carricks's arrival and confrontation with the First WatchCircle over the Padawan Massacre, Haazen surprised and horrified them all; revealing himself as a servant of the dark side - with his own "dark intentions".

Behind the scenes
John Jackson Miller jokingly said his last name was Daag, as a reference to the ice cream Häagen-Dazs.
