Krynda Draay Krynda Draay , born Krynda Hulis , was a female Near - Human Jedi Master of the pre - Ruusan Old Republic . Born to a Human mother and the Miraluka Jedi Master Noab Hulis , she was apprenticed to Vodo - Siosk Baas and became a Sage Master . She married fellow Jedi Barrison Draay , with whom she had a child , Lucien . Following the Great Sith War , she left the Jedi Order but eventually went on teaching Jedi for thirty years without the supervision of the Jedi Council . She founded the Jedi Covenant , a cabal of Jedi aimed at preventing the return of the Sith at any cost . However , she was exposed to the Jedi Council by a member of one of the Covenant ' s WatchCircle s , who sought to end the repercussions of the Padawan Massacre of Taris . Biography . Early years . Due to her Miraluka heritage , Krynda was born with both normal Human sight and Force sight . Initially , Krynda was one of several Padawan studying under Jedi Master Arca Jeth . During her time as a Padawan , Krynda met Barrison Draay and Haazen , the former being with whom she fell in love . However , she was unaware that Haazen also had feelings for her . Master Jeth eventually had Krynda and Barrison knighted . Haazen was not , however , due to his lack of perception . After being knighted , Krynda continued her education into the Force under the tutelage of Jedi Master Vodo - Siosk Baas and was trained as a Jedi Consular . Eventually , Krynda was granted the rank of Master . She married Barrison and became pregnant , and consequently , her attentions were drawn away from Galactic events and she failed to see the rise of the Sith within a fellow Padawan of Master Baas named Exar Kun . On the day that Ulic Qel - Droma had his first contact with the dark side of the Force during the Beast Wars , she gave birth to a son , Lucien Draay . During the Great Sith War , a war she could not participate in due to the difficult birth of Lucien , she witnessed the deaths of both her former Jedi instructors , her half - sister , and her husband , who died in an ambush devised by the Sith Minion Dossa and Haazen himself , as he had always been envious of Barrison ' s life . For years she blamed herself for these deaths and lived in seclusion on Coruscant , spending her days in grief and shame on the Draay Estate , though still receiving help from a now - disfigured Haazen . She took him in after the war so he could continue his family ' s service to the Draays . Krynda refused all contact with the Jedi Order , who were hoping she would return to active duty as a seer . Even though her son was an only child and grew up without a father , Krynda was distant from Lucien , leaving him to be brought up mostly under the care of the household droid 9BD and Haazen . Forming the Covenant . In 3993 BBY , Haazen brought to the Draay Estate a young Miraluka girl named Q ' Anilia . Krynda sensed something special in the child and agreed to train her . Drawn back into the Jedi Order , she began a secret organization — the Jedi Covenant — to prevent the Sith from ever returning to the galaxy . To this end , Krynda personally set out to train the greatest Consulars of the Order , which she hoped would be strong enough to find the shatterpoint that would lead to the next Sith outbreak . The Covenant would then take any action necessary to stamp it out immediately . Several WatchCircles were formed , some of them using Jedi foresight even for investment advice , siphoning power to the Draay Trust , which would then lend influence to the Covenant both in the Republic and Jedi Order . They also made use of Covenant Shadow s to search out dangerous Sith artifacts and dispose of them . However , this goal became an obsession , and blinded Krynda to the rise of the dark side through other means until it was too late . During the training of the Jedi Covenant members , Krynda ' s relationship with Lucien became unpleasant . Due to Lucien inheriting his fathers traits instead of his mothers , Krynda left him under tutelage of Haazen rather than training him herself and as such , she became more of a mother towards Q ' Anilia than Lucien . When he protested , she furiously yelled at him that if her father ' s blood was stronger she would ' ve gladly given him second sight . In 3988 BBY Krynda predicted the coming of the most potent seers her secret sect would ever train ; the WatchCircle which would foresee the return of the Sith . Eventually , she would encounter these students : In addition to the four seers she had selected , her own son — Lucien — was chosen to be the " Hand " , a position that was suggested by Haazen ; and was responsible for handling arrangements and protection for the Consulars . Together , these five Jedi made up the " First WatchCircle " . They were sent to Taris to locate the Muur Talisman while working under the guise of a school for their Padawans . Haazen , who greatly assisted her in constructing the Covenant , regularly reported to her . Many of his reports included a Sith text on Chandrila , which was disposed of by a Shadow , and the Vanjervalis Chain was discovered to have a flaw that they had " obtained " . Repercussions of the Padawan Massacre . As of 3964 BBY , Krynda was acting as " associate " and advisor to the First WatchCircle , who by this time were stationed together as Jedi Masters in the Jedi Temple on Taris in order to secretly recover the Muur Talisman , a Sith artifact of great power . During a joint meditation on the rogue moon , the WatchCircle envisioned the destruction of the Jedi Order and the rule of the Sith . Circumstance had it that the Dark Lord they all saw in their vision reflected the appearance of their Padawans , wearing a red environment suit , so they assumed it was going to be one of them falling to the dark side . Master Raana Tey suggested to kill them all right away , while Xamar and Q ' Anilia insisted on speaking with Krynda first , for her evaluation . Lucien lied to them about his mother ' s position on the execution , and arranged for the five students to meet their end at their knighting ceremony . After Padawan Zayne Carrick escaped the Masters ' grasp and the Taris security force entered the chase , tagging Zayne as a wanted criminal . His Master Lucien spoke to Haazen , who was outraged by his handling of the " Taris affair " , and told him he would not bring Zayne to them alive . He also explained to the other Masters that he had made contact with their associate on Coruscant , and argued that the intervention of civil authorities was expected , to offer people a show of justice . Later , when Lucien and the other members of the Covenant went to visit Krynda on Coruscant , Haazen denied them entrance and would later not tell Lucien where Krynda had gone . However , weeks later Haazen told Lucien that she was upstairs in the Estate , though he could not feel her presence . During the Mandalorian siege of Taris , the dying Raana Tey asked Zayne Carrick to tell Krynda that she was " sorry " . She was offered salvation by Carrick , whom she had attempted to kill , supposedly making her question the rightfulness of the actions of the WatchCircle . A statue and memorial was constructed outside the Draay Estate in honor of the fallen Togruta , though it appears that Krynda did not attend the memorial service . Before being put in stasis , Covenant agent Celeste Morne asked Zayne to find Krynda and tell her what had really happened to his friends , believing she would never allow something like that to happen . Zayne then became determined to find Krynda and put an end to the Covenant . Zayne journeyed to Odryn where , after a hectic confrontation with Feln , he was able to find proof of the Covenant actions : a collection of Sith artifacts that the Covenant were studying . Zayne also sent two of his friends , Shel Jelavan and Alek Squinquargesimus , to Coruscant to meet with Masters Vandar Tokare and Vrook Lamar . They told the Councilors that Raana Tey had said Krynda was the figure behind the Covenant before dying and that Zayne was coming to them with proof . Vrook , however , knew that there were many Jedi whose loyalty was to Krynda , and worried that if Krynda was accused the Order would be torn apart . Xamar later confessed everything to the Council . His reason was to ensure that Krynda would be given full immunity . They hoped that Zayne ' s presence would draw her from her chamber to examine him . However , Haazen claimed that Krynda was meditating with Circle Culu and could not be disturbed . Sith takeover . Soon after , Haazen surprised and horrified them all when he revealed himself as a servant to the Sith . In truth , he had subverted Krynda as the leader of the Jedi Covenant , pitting the Jedi Order against itself — the true Jedi loyal to the Council vs . the deceived Jedi of the Covenant acting in Krynda ' s name . Haazen desired to dominate the Jedi Order , planning on eliminating the Jedi High Council and replace them with a puppet emergency Council , using the Draay family name to accomplish this . Death . When Haazen hacked the systems of the Republic ships in the Vanjervalis Chain and had them bombard the Estate , Q ' Anilia rushed into Krynda ' s room , so that she might aid them against Haazen . Krynda , however , was sealed inside a stasis pod , and could not be awoken . Q ' Anilia believed her dead , and took her own life by poisoning herself , thus fulfilling the prophecy . Gryph realized that Krynda was only in stasis , and removed her from the pod by breaking it open . Gryph helped her into the courtyard , where she confronted Lucien over the murders of the Padawans . As it transpired Krynda had not authorized the killings , as Haazen had claimed , but had received a vision of the massacre taking place . This caused her to have a stroke , which left her severely ill and unable to warn Lucien . Haazen used this to his advantage and placed her in stasis within a prototype oubliette to keep her out of his way while he put his plans in motion . While within the Oubliette , she felt the agony of the Padawans ' deaths again and again . The only thought that got her through it all was that she believed that Lucien would never be capable of doing something like that ; but he unfortunately did , as she was found dead in the prophecy and he could not allow that to happen . Heartbroken over her son ' s confession , Krynda wailed that no mission is worth the lives of younglings , and asked Lucien who had led him to believe that murdering the Padawans was the right thing to do . She was horrified when Lucien said she had , and that he had done it to carry out her mission — by any means necessary . Realizing that her teachings had led her son to murder his students , Krynda claimed that she had been wrong the entire time . In her last moments , she told Lucien to accept his mistakes and face the future with humility . She died in her son ' s arms soon after . Consumed by rage , Lucien attacked Gryph , only to be interrupted by Zayne Carrick , whom Lucien began to duel . Behind the scenes . Before the stand alone issue " Homecoming " , Krynda was known only as the " Jedi associate " of the Jedi Covenant on Taris .
