Arden Lyn

Arden Lyn was a female Human of unknown origins that was born around the founding of the Galactic Republic. She was a master of a nearly forgotten fighting style called Teräs Käsi. Taught the art on the planet Bunduki by ancient hermits called the Followers of Palawa, her skill in it was unmatched. Following a millennia-long hibernation, she actually outlived the entire Republic.

Biography


While she had a youthful appearance, Arden had been a Palawan warrior for thousands of years, and was the lover of Xendor. She fought during the Great Schism, leading the Legions of Lettow after her lover's death. She killed Awdrysta Pina, who, before dying, used morichro to stop Arden's heart, inducing her to a mystic sleep until the Galactic Civil War.

Accidentally awakened by a band of heroes, Lyn ran afoul of the Imperial Inquisitors. During a battle with Inquisitors Antinnis Tremayne, Ameesa Darys and Grand Inquisitor Laddinare Torbin, she killed Darys and injured Tremayne before Torbin cleaved off her arm. Her skill attracted the attention of the Emperor and Darth Vader, and she became one of the Emperor’s personal assassins, with a new mechanical arm from a Juggernaut war droid to compensate for her loss. She also helped train Imperial Sovereign Protectors and Byss Mages. The Emperor would give her the mission of eliminating the leaders of the Rebel Alliance and capturing the Jedi, Luke Skywalker.



She failed in her mission and would later betray the Emperor and Lord Vader by joining up with Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin. In an attempted coup, Arden would try to kidnap the Emperor. Zaarin's rebellion would be put down by Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Zaarin was killed during a later incident, and Lyn reappeared later on Bunduki, apparently trying to settle some old scores with the Palawa monks, where she found Dark Jedi Yun. The outcome of this encounter is unknown, but Lyn was eventually killed by the resurrected Emperor.
