Satele Shan

JEDI EXILED HER MOTHER
BLOOD OF REVAN
A SECRET SON
Text concealed in Aurebesh in the now-defunct SW:TOR Holonet.

Grand Master of the Jedi Order and leader of the Jedi Council, Satele Shan was born on the Core World of Brentaal Four and is descended from legendary Jedi Bastila Shan. Both a gifted warrior and wise teacher, Satele was personally responsible for rediscovering Tython and its hyperspace route. Ever since, she has devoted herself to the Jedi resettlement of Tython and the revitalization of the order.

Satele has played a key role in recent galactic history in other ways, as well. She fought on the front lines of several major battles--including the battles of Alderaan and Rhen Var--and was present as a Padawan during the Imperial retaking of Korriban, the first modern contact between the Sith Empire and the Republic. She is greatly respected by certain members of the Republic military, and her advice is often sought by the Supreme Chancellor. In person, Satele's strength in the Force is matched with a keen intelligence and a subtle sense of humor.

In Legends material, Satele Shan is one of the most influential figures of the Old Republic era. She is a "beloved heroine" of the Republic, and a "cornerstone of the war effort". Satele is a major figure in Star Wars: The Old Republic (SW:TOR), a main character in its first two trailers, and central to tie-in material such as the novel Annihilation. Her son, Theron Shan, is one three key companions to the Outlander in the Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Eternal Throne expansions of SW:TOR. Hall Hood, senior writer for SW:TOR, described her as "Cassandra + Joan of Arc + Elizabeth I + Oracle from “The Matrix” + President Laura Roslyn" [sic].
