The Sith Lord eventually subdued her with his powers but spared her life . The Jedi High Council disowned Leneer for her actions . Biography . Early life . A Force - sensitive Human orphaned on the planet Balmorra , Aryn Leneer was discovered by Jedi Master Ven Zallow at an early age and taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for induction into the Jedi Order and training in the ways of the Force . Zallow took over Leneer ' s training immediately , and she quickly learned that her life was to be dedicated solely to the Order and its teachings . Overtime , Leneer developed a strong , emotional bond with Master Zallow , as she perceived him not only as a teacher , but as a father . Leneer constructed multiple lightsabers ; her first one was a blue - bladed lightsaber , another one was a yellow - hued bladed lightsaber , and the last one was a green - bladed lightsaber . Great Galactic War . Comrade of Havoc Squad . Leneer was eventually made a Jedi Knight and was a member of Havoc Squad with Zeerid Korr in the early days of the Great Galactic War as she fought against the Sith Empire on behalf of the Galactic Republic . A formidable and well honed combatant with a lightsaber she was well respected by her squad mates . Aside from her skill with a lightsaber , Leneer developed her innate empathic abilities during the war , using it to booster morale among her comrades . Although she never consumed alcohol she would go to the cantinas with Havoc Squad after battles and training being a steadfast comrade and friend and would often be the shoulder to cry on after a nights hard drinking . Leneer , in particular , bonded with Korr when she aided him in coping with the death of his wife and the crippling of his daughter . Treaty of Coruscant . When the Imperial fleet invaded the planet Alderaan , Leneer fought alongside the Alderaanian armed forces to hold off the Imperial attack . Wielding her lightsaber and the Force , Leneer fought besides Jedi Knight Satele Shan and helped turn the tide in order to repel the invasion . When Alderaan was secured , Leneer joined Jedi Shan as part of the Republic ' s delegation for the signing of a peace treaty with the Sith Empire . Led by Master Dar ' Nala and Senator Paran Am - Ris , Leneer was stationed within the High Council building on Alderaan with fellow Knight Syo Bakarn . She was uncomfortable being stationed near so many Sith , but used Zallow ' s teachings to calm herself . When she detected her former master ' s death through the Force , she realized that the Sith had betrayed the Republic and attacked Coruscant , leading to the death of Master Zallow and many other Jedi . After a brief outburst involving an attack on members of the Sith delegation , Leneer was informed that the Jedi were currently negotiating for the Sith to leave Coruscant peacefully . Leneer became extremely angry with the terms , believing that the Sith attack showed that they were clearly not interested in peace . and that the war should continue . She retired to her room where she dealt with the shock of her master ' s death . She then resolved to track down and kill the man who murdered their master . Although Syo attempted to convince her not to leave , she managed to escape the High Council building and depart for Eeseen spaceport . Despite being spotted by Jedi Vollen Sor and his Padawan Keevo , Leneer managed to secure passage off planet . Leneer decided that to get through the Sith blockade around Coruscant , she would need an extremely skilled pilot . Her attention then turned to the man who would fit the bill : Zeerid Korr . She began to search for him and located him outside his sister - in - law ' s apartment on the planet Vulta . Hitching a ride aboard the " Fatman " , Korr ' s ship , Leneer made it to Coruscant as part of her mission to discover her master ' s killer . Their ship was detected and shot down in Coruscant ' s atmosphere , but she used her strong force abilities to slow her and Zeerid ' s fall and they landed safely on the surface . Leneer proceeded to take Korr through the Works , an industrial area of Coruscant and managed to enter the Temple . Finding the Jedi Temple in ruins , Leneer located her droid T - 7 and also found a recording of her master ' s death . She pieced together the clues as to her master ' s killer , discovering that it was the dreaded Darth Malgus who had led the attack . She later went back to the ruins of the Temple without Korr , who was busy scouting a spaceport to escape the planet through , and she entered into a fierce duel with the Sith Lord , who had also returned to the Temple . Following a lengthy display of athleticism , she fought to a draw and left the battle early when Zeerid learned where she was and interrupted the combat , rescuing her . Leneer , who was full of hate at that time , thought she could inflict more pain by killing Malgus ' lover , Eleena Daru . Korr realized her plan and tried to convince her otherwise , but she refused to listen to him . Korr then explained the plan to escape Coruscant to her . The two entered the spaceport and located a shuttle that they could escape the planet with . However , Leneer then located Eleena Daru and captured her . She prepared to kill her , but then learned of Daru ' s harsh treatment under Malgus ' s control and realized that she was making a mistake , and that her master would not want her to kill an innocent being . After she let go of her excess anger and hunger for revenge , Leneer decided to spare the Twi ' lek and face Malgus one last time . She convinced Zeerid to escape , who eventually agreed after sharing a kiss with Leneer . Aryn then faced off one on one with Malgus . They entered into an intense battle , with Aryn using her lightsaber skills to fight and eventually injure Malgus . During the battle , they taunted each other , with Leneer allowing Malgus to see that she had regained who she was and would not fall to the dark side . Malgus eventually used his force abilities to gain an advantage , and overwhelmed Leneer with a blast of force lightning and ended the battle . However , noticing how Daru had been spared , the Sith stopped short of killing the Jedi . Leneer later awoke , and realized that Malgus had spared her . After they each promised to kill one another if they ever met on the battlefield , Leneer escaped Coruscant . Exile . For disobeying the Jedi High Council , Leneer was disowned from the Order though the option for her to rejoin was possibly open ; records of Grand Master Satele Shan suggest that Leneer tendered her official resignation to the Order . Aryn then found and reunited with her long - time friend and former Republic officer , Zeerid Korr , who permanently settled on Dantooine . After locating his farm , she decided to stay with him and his daughter . Personality and traits . Being an empath , emotions of every range were a daily part of Leneer ' s life . This gave her the unique ability to personalize with those she interacted with . She laughed easily and earnestly among friends and consoled those whose lives were filled with pain or sadness . She was a steadfast friend and and would stick by her companions during hard times as she proved by neither questioning or abandoning Zeerid Korr when she found out that he was smuggling engspice for the Exchange . She could also give in to her own emotions as when her anger over Master Zallow ' s death nearly overwhelmed her , but in the end she was able to keep true to herself and to her master ' s teachings . She was extremely close to Zallow , viewing him as a father , and also shared a friendship with fellow Jedi Syo Bakarn . Powers and abilities . Aryn Leneer was extraordinarily talented in the ways of the Force and a remarkably skilled duelist . Leneer demonstrated impressive telekinetic abilities . In one encounter , she swept two Sith adepts off their feet with a powerful wave of energy and sent them crashing into a pair of large statues which shattered into chunks from the impact . Leneer could also use her telekinetic abilities to disarm her opponents ; in one encounter , she telekinetically forced the lightsaber from the grip of one of the Sith adepts into her own grip , disarming him in the process ; in another encounter , she disarmed a skilled shooter , Eleena Daru , with her telekinetic abilities . Leneer was even able to seize control of a thrown lightsaber aimed for her from Darth Malgus ' s mental grasp with her telekinetic abilities midflight . Furthermore , Leneer could hurl large objects like missiles towards her targets with her telekinetic abilities ; in one encounter , she hurled six cars of a cargo tram towards her targets with a gesture but barely an effort . Leneer demonstrated impressive defensive abilities . During her confrontation with the Sith on Alderaan , when one of the Sith adepts aimed a powerful wave of energy at her , she was able to deflect it with a gesture in such a way that the wave split into two , with half toppling additional large statues nearby and half sending the other Sith adept packing ten paces away from her original position . During a confrontation with Malgus , Leneer comfortably deflected the shrapnel flying around her from the resultant destruction of stones from his impact on the ground with her defensive abilities . In addition , Leneer survived a fifty - kilometer dive from the space onto the rooftop of one of the skyscrapers on Coruscant without a parachute , using the Force to slow her descent from terminal velocity and protecting herself and her companion in the process , preventing their death upon landing . On another occasion , Leneer used her power to slow the descent and cushion the landing of a dropship she was aboard . Even though Malgus was able to overwhelm Leneer with his telekinetic abilities , sending her crashing into objects on several occasions during their confrontations , she was able to use her defensive abilities to blunt the impact of crash and prevent injuries to her on each occasion . Leneer often used the Force to augment her speed and physical actions such as acrobatic maneuvers during duels and even leap over obstacles such as walls several meters high . During a burst of speed , Leneer could perceive and react to the environment around her so fast that a millisecond would seem like a minute to her , giving her ample time to perform an action in the span of a millisecond . To human eyes , she would appear as a blur of motion , existing simultaneously in multiple places . Leneer was gifted in the use of Force empathy , which earned her the title of " Force Empath . " This talent allowed Leneer to perceive her surroundings with great clarity and detail irrespective of their complexity . Leneer used this talent to strengthen her bond with her Jedi Master , Ven Zallow , to such a degree that she felt her master ' s pain as he died from a lightsaber wound at the hands of Malgus . Leneer was even able to perceive exactly where the lightsaber had pierced her master . Leneer could also use this talent to perceive emotions of others on a planetary scale by significantly amplifying her own senses ; she performed this feat on Coruscant . Leneer also understood most droidspeak .
