Arden
Lynn
As
one of the few surviving masters of the Teräs Käsi order,
Arden Lynn is one of the galaxy's greatest secrets. An order that
has existed for millennia, the Teräs Käsi was formed
when the Jedi Order allowed a planet's devastation to stop a menace
from spreading elsewhere. Since that time, the Teräs Käsi
has existed, leery of the Jedi, looking for strength from within,
instead of from without.
Rumors
are that during Emperor Palpatine's purge of the Jedi Order, the
Teräs Käsi were threatened also. Allegedly, Lord Vader
cornered Lynn and gave her a choice—assassinate key Republic
leaders or die. Though she accepted, there are no reports of her
success; she was alleged to be scheduled for death herself, but
with the shift in Imperial power, that no longer seems a priority.
Regardless
of her past, she appeared with several other comrades to train
in solitude on Dagobah recently. However, they were upset when
Fabius Kane and
his crew landed on the planet with the same idea. The two groups
were about to come to blows, when Vela
and his crew descended upon them, in pursuit of Kane and the bounty
on him and Donovan.
Reluctantly, Lynn decided to ally herself with the smugglers to
help defeat the bounty hunters. Though the bounty hunters all
met their final end, so did Kane's associate, Alexander.
Kane
left immediately after the battle. What Lynn and her associates
have done or where they are now is a mystery. For some reason,
members of the Teräs Käsi recently confronted Kane on
Dathomir. Whether or not they were associated with Lynn is unclear.
Even
more mysterious is why Lynn was in the company of the former Emperor's
clone at a Huttese
Sith Lord's casino on Nar Shadda. Regardless, she met her
fate at the hands of an associate of Kane's at that casino, when
the blind Force-user, Sendaar,
engaged her in battle, and ultimately dealt her a blow that even
her cyborg form could not withstand.
