==Biography==
Lege was a Valon Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order at the Valo Temple on the Outer Rim planet Valo during the High Republic Era. In 231 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of The High Republic: Race to Crashpoint Tower to 231 BBY. as Valo's capital, Lonisa City, prepared to host the Valo Republic Fair, Lege and fellow Master Kunpar Vasivola undertook preparations for the event at the Valo Temple.
While the Valon Masters were out of the temple, the droid V-18 learned of a perimeter security breach of Valo's Crashpoint Tower communications tower. When the planet's comms became faulty shortly afterward, V-18 attempted to find Valo Temple's Jedi Masters or contact them via comm but ultimately failed. The droid instead told Jedi Padawan Ram Jomaram of the issues at Crashpoint Tower, mentioning where the rest of the world's Jedi—including Lege—were located. Ultimately, the tower's functionality was restored by Jomaram, allowing the Jedi to work with the Republic to repel a strike on the Republic Fair by Nihil marauders.
In 230 BBY, when Valo was attacked by the Nihil, all of the Valo Jedi temple's Masters—including Lege —hurriedly left Lonisa City and attempted to flee into the world's mountains. However, the Nihil caught the Jedi and killed all of them despite their attempts to fight back, with several being fed to a Force-eating Nameless creature. Only the younglings Gavi, Kildo, and Tep Tep escaped alive, albeit deeply traumatized by the incident.The High Republic: Beware the Nameless After surviving in Valo's mountains alone for a year, the three younglings returned to the city and introduced themselves to Jomaram—who had been working as an anti-Nihil saboteur nicknamed the "Scarlet Skull"—telling him of the deaths of the Valo Temple's Jedi Masters. In 228 BBY, Tep Tep and Kildo reminisced on seeing Valo's Jedi Masters fed to Nameless during the Nihil's occupation of their planet, somberly remembering how their teachers had turned to husks.
