Jaesa Willsaam

Jaesa Willsaam was born on Alderaan to Gregor and Parvin Willsaam, and spent her early life as a handmaiden to Gesselle Organa of House Organa. Her family was not wealthy, and her parents had hoped to increase their family's lot when it was decided that she would marry an Organa noble. Fate interceded when her Force-sensitivity manifested itself. Her parents allowed her to be taken for training by the Jedi.

Willsaam was trained in the ways of the Force by Jedi Master Yonlach on Tatooine. During one of her trials, she faced the sand demon unarmed and walked out unscathed.

But soon Nomen Karr recognized that Willsaam had a unique Force ability, the ability to see and effortlessly determine the true nature of other sentients. Karr saw an opportunity root out and dismantle the intelligence network of his longtime Sith rival, Darth Baras. Willsaam identified some of Baras' operatives on Balmorra and Nar Shaddaa.

Her existence and talent—though not her identity—were uncovered by Baras on Dromund Kaas, by torturing the information out of a captured agent of the Republic. Baras quickly assigned his most promising new apprentice to seek out and destroy individuals from Willsaam's past, hoping to draw her out of anonymity.

After two of the spies she had uncovered were silenced by the Sith apprentice, Willsaam more strongly felt the approach of the dark side of the Force. The Sith soon began tracking down people she was close to. The apprentice first sought out Master Yonlach on Tatooine. Willsaam's old master warned her via their Force bond that the Sith were attempting to draw her out of hiding before he met a painful death. And when Willsaam finally felt her own parents' deaths on Alderaan, she took matters into her own hands. She contacted the Empire's Wrath to arrange a one-on-one meeting without her Master's knowledge.

Master Karr quickly discovered Willsaam's plan and, after judging it foolish and forbidding her to go through with it, sent Jedi Knights Zylixx and Ulldin to eliminate the Sith threat. The two Knights proved to be no match for the Sith, and were easily defeated. Karr was finally determined to end the threat to Willsaam's life, and arranged for a duel to the death with Darth Baras on Nal Hutta to resolve their conflict.

In order both to protect himself and to put Karr off-balance, Baras sent his mighty apprentice to the duel in his stead. As Jedi Master and Sith apprentice clashed, the Sith tricked the old Jedi into falling to the dark side in order to further taunt Willsaam.

When her Jedi Master was defeated, Willsaam finally emerged from hiding, sensing that he was being tortured and saw her Master in his twisted state. At first, she accused the Warrior of corrupting her Master, but then considered the possibility that Karr had been hiding this all along. The Warrior encouraged her to use her power on Karr to see the truth. Willsaam complied, and despite seeing dark traits within Karr, she refused to believe it. The Warrior continued to taunt her into releasing her anger and battled the Padawan, easily defeating the young Jedi. Defeated, Willsaam became convinced that Karr's teachings about the light side of the Force being stronger than the dark side were nothing but a lie. Karr reminded her that she hadn't completed her training and promised that when she fully communed with the light side, no Sith could be her match.

Nonetheless, Jaesa acknowledged the Warrior's power and agreed to become the Sith's apprentice. Her first act was to strike down her former master with her own hands. Though Karr begged her not to let the Sith turn her into a murderer, Willsaam coldly retorted that the Jedi hypocritically do likewise to justify their actions, and decapitated Karr.

Willsaam joins the Sith Warrior as a newly anointed Sith apprentice. The Warrior was granted the rank of Sith Lord for success in hunting her down, and she became a willing agent of the Empire.

Their adventures took them across the galaxy, as they sought to undermine both the Republic and the Jedi, and worked tirelessly to re-ignite open war between the Republic and the Sith Empire. She demonstrated devotion to her Master, vowing never to follow the Sith traditions involving killing the Master.

Jaesa used her free time to find Sith who followed aspects of the light side. She learned of Lord Cendence, who was tasked by the Dark Council with eliminating light-side Sith. Jaesa became concerned over Cendence's high kill list. She quickly realized that Cendence simply killed whomever he wished; very few of his targets were light-side Sith. Cendence recognized that Jaesa's power would validate his work. He attempted to convince her to betray her Master but she simply laughed in his face and killed him.

Willsaam continued to serve her master over the next few years, becoming one of the Wrath's closest friends and confidants. She stood by their side during the Conquest of Makeb and the Revanite crisis, when the former dark lord Revan attempted to revive the slumbering Sith Emperor, whose previous host body was slain by the Hero of Tython three years earlier. In order to ensure that the Sith remained a united force, Darth Marr made Jaesa's master the "Empire's Wrath," who became Marr's right hand along with Darth Nox, another member of the Dark Council. Willsaam continued to serve both the Sith Lord and the Empire loyally.

Jaesa was adept at wielding a double-bladed red lightsaber and demonstrated her ability at using the Soresu form.

She also held the power to use Force lightning, and she was quite proficient in telekinesis. Due to her powers, Jaesa was also skilled with both interrogation and diplomacy.

The Cold War is a galaxy-level astropolitical tension between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire and their respective allies after 3653 BBY. The Treaty of Coruscant ended the Great Galactic War, sealing the Sith Empire's partial victory and its annexation of almost two thirds of the known galaxy. Peace was gained, but tensions between the Empire and the Republic remained high, especially as the Empire began seizing more planets in the Core Worlds. In the ten years after the war, fear and uncertainty gripped the galaxy. Border skirmishes and proxy wars between the Empire and Republic erupted, and the uneasy truce between the two foes appeared to be on the verge of collapse, as it finally did in 3641 BBY. As a result of the immense power that they held during the Cold War, this was well-regarded as having been the time in which the Sith were at their mightiest.
