NAME: Viesa Kryze. More commonly known by her nickname, Sieghart.
FACTION: Formerly the Republic; Jedi Knights
RANK: Knight
SPECIES: Human
AGE: 42
GENDER: Female
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes
APPEARANCE:
Sieghart is a red-haired Human woman of slightly pale complexion. Her bluish green eyes clash with her hair color. Generally without make-up, her face is adorned with scars across the right side of her face; origins of these scars vary from story to story. Normally hidden by the collar of her preferred uniform, a rough scar is located on her neck, from a failed assassination attempt by unnamed assailants.
ATTRIBUTES & SKILLS:
Sieghart is a Force sensitive woman whose strength is below that of the average combatant. This is in part due to her upbringing with the Jedi, where training and studying were given precedence over strength. Her skills in lightsaber combat have improved over the years, having merged Jedi techniques with Mandalorian swordsmanship. She has given her attempt with blasters, but her marksmanship is below average. Though rarely displayed in public during her Senatorial days, Sieghart remains a decent practitioner of the Force; her strengths lay with telekinesis and telepathy.
Sieghart has proficient skills in hacking and deception, setting up her own intelligence gathering network centered around an alter ego known as The Old Man, though much of it was lost when the Republic fell. She has been trained with basic combat medical skills during her time with the Mandalorians. Any charisma she possesses comes from her bluntness, which has made her more than one enemy.
PERSONALITY:
A sharp mind, Sieghart possesses the patience and cunningness to work angles to her favor. Her time as a Jedi taught her to adapt to different cultures, which she has done to be culturally aware in the Senate and use customs to manipulate her fellow Senators to her favor; she has since used these skills in the service of the Jedi since her return to the Order. She has a temper, but it is generally kept in check by her Jedi teachings. However, she loathes foolishness, spitting "fool" as an insult worse than profanity. Though normally she keeps herself in check, she is not afraid to speak her mind.
She still holds a small bitterness towards the Jedi from decades ago, though has been working to conquer those feelings. When the Republic fell, she returned to the Jedi Order, having not been with her fellow Mandalorians since her world fell to the terrorist Death Watch. Her hatred towards Prudii Kyramud and his ilk has been a grudge she has been meditating to overcome, in hopes of avoiding falling to the darkness. She has been distant to many Jedi, due to her Mandalorian ties making her not the most liked in the Order. She continues to refer to herself as "Senator Sieghart" as an act of defiance to the Dominion, refuting their legitimacy.
BIOGRAPHY:
Taken as a baby to the Jedi Order, Viesa was raised by the Jedi to become a Jedi. Ignorant of her parentage, she went through the typical training, albeit a bit rebellious. She couldn't understand why the Jedi claimed to be different from the Sith while at the same time seeking the complete annihilation of the Sith ways. However, her master sought to teach Viesa diplomacy and took her on multiple diplomatic meetings.
When she was seventeen, Viesa sought to learn of her origins, something not every Jedi are advised to research. Her investigation revealed her full name was Viesa Kryze, child to proud Mandalorian parents. Her parents had died, and the orphan was taken in by the Jedi, never given the opportunity to be adopted by Mandalorians, all because she was Force sensitive. In combination to other events in her life, she felt betrayed.
The teenage Viesa abandoned the Jedi Order and went to Mandalore. Her people were initially wary, but she eventually gained their trust. She became friends with many of her people, and became indoctrinated into the Mandalorian culture. Her time as a Jedi diplomat's aide brought her to the world of politics, where her expertise and knowledge were used by the previous Senator of Mandalore to navigate the political seas, taking advantage of previous Jedi ties. She became a prominent face in the Mandalorian political world, eventually gaining the nickname Sieghart, attributed to her stonewalling of several military reforms targeted at Mandalore and the Border Alliance. Eventually the Senator of Manalore retired, and Sieghart became the new Senator. For the next nine years, she cultivated alliances and comrades. To further her goals, she established her own information gathering network, leading under the pseudonym "The Old Man".
For years she served as Senator of Mandalore, and played a key role in the Border Alliance's later years. When the Death Watch centered around Prudii Kyramud rose, she was among the Mandalorians who publicly disavowed the false Mand'alor. When her world was conquered by Kyramud's loyalists, she fled the planet, taking shelter on Alderaan, forming a small nation-in-exile for her Kryze loyalists, those who didn't join up with what would become the Dominion. As the rest of the Republic fell, Sieghart wandered the galaxy for a couple years until she came across the Jedi who were taking shelter from Lord Jissard's hunts. She aided in the Jedi's escape, and went with them. She soon rejoined the Jedi Order, taking up her old mantle as a Jedi once more...
GEAR:
Her Jedi robes long since burned, Sieghart is largely seen in public in a white and black dress uniform; underneath is a military-grade light armor. Her wing-shaped hair ornament is a relay device connected with an earpiece inside her ear used for two-way communication, along with serving as a recording device which activates upon her saying the word "well". Furthermore, while wearing it, she can use the voice command "lovely" to detonate her single thermal detonator as long as it's within 25 meters of herself. When facing combat, she will done her Mandalorian armor which is equipped with a jetpack. When pretending to be the information broker The Old Man, she uses an assortment of attire found on different worlds. Her lightsaber is generally always with her. At times, especially in less civilized areas, she will have a blaster with her as well.
