Hapans/Hapes Consortium
Tenel Ka Djo
Tenel Ka Chume Ta' Djo
Species: Hapan
Homeworld: Dathomir
Appears in: Young Jedi Knights | The New Jedi Order | The Dark Nest Trilogy | Legacy of the Force | Fate of the Jedi | Good Hunting
Tenel Ka Djo was the daughter of the man who almost married Leia in The Courtship of Princess Leia. A hot-headed princess, she was attending the Jedi Academy by the time of the Young Jedi Knights series and was friends with the Solo children. An accident during a lightsaber training session against Jacen due to the botched construction of her first saber cost her an arm, that she adamantly refused to replace with a prosthetic. She eventually grew up to inherit the throne her mother and grandmother had held before her. She had a daughter with Jacen, but had to fake Allana's death to protect her from political opponents.
- Action Girl: She once took down a Nightsister without any weapons.
- Action Mom: She remains plenty active after giving birth to Allana, sometimes leading her security forces into battle against intruders.
- The Big Girl: Blunt as a brick and good in a scrap, even after losing an arm.
- Cannot Tell a Joke: It takes her a while. When she tries in "Star by Star", she defensively says she thought the one she'd told was pretty funny.
- Catchphrase: "This is a fact." Sometimes "Fact" if she's being terse.
- The Chains of Commanding: She never wanted to be queen, preferring life as a Jedi. To be an effective one, she often had to make decisions which conflicted with her personal ideals.
- Color-Coded Eyes: She has gray eyes, which is fitting, considering her stoic, analytical personality.
- Cool Sword: Her lightsaber's hilt is a rancor tooth.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: When she was younger, she was rather humorless. She became warmer around those close to her as she developed.
- Everything's Better with Rainbows: Her lightsaber crystals are rainbow gems from the Hapes' Royal Princess tiara, though rather than resulting in a rainbow-bladed lightsaber, the blade is turquoise.
- Handicapped Badass: Lost her left arm in a lightsaber accident. Still quite badass.
- Keeping the Handicap: She loses a part of her arm due to rushing her lightsaber's construction and having it explode in her hand. She eventually refuses to get a replacement prosthetic like her teacher Luke Skywalker did as a reminder to not let her pride get the better of her, citing it was Luke's choice to do so as her grandmother is trying to force the artificial limb on her, until Tenel Ka "forcefully" destroys the prosthetic to affirm her decision.
- Laser Blade: Her first lightsaber was made from a rancor's tooth and decorated with carved images, with a greyish-white blade from the volcano deposit crystal she used. Her second lightsaber is turquoise-bladed, also made from a rancor's fang but using a jewel from her Hapan princess tiara as the focus.
- Love Epiphany: She finally realizes she loves Jacen after he's captured by the Vong in Star by Star and she mistakenly believes he's been killed. After he returns though, it takes seven more years for them to actually get together.
- No Sense of Humor: At first; she develops one later.
- Pride: A major flaw of hers in her younger apprentice days. Though a gifted Jedi apprentice, she had the view that her own physical abilities and training were more important and saw relying on the Force as a crutch. She almost completely ignores the Hapan side of her heritage, which she sees as decadent and dishonest. Likewise, she saw building her first lightsaber as a test of her physical prowess instead of her care and responsibility; she obtained the crystal from a deposit in a mostly dormant volcano, but ignored the crystal's flaws, thinking that she would just have to be more careful. It gave out during a practice duel with Jacen Solo, leading to him cutting her arm off; her saber then overloaded and exploded, destroying her hand and preventing any attempt at reattaching it.
- Rebellious Princess: In the Young Jedi Knights series.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: She's a Queen who can kick ass, even minus an arm.
- Star-Crossed Lovers: No matter how much she loves Jacen, she just can't stand aside and do nothing when he turns to the dark side.
- Tomboy Princess: When she was younger.
Allana Solo
Chume'da Allana Djo Solo/Amelia Solo
Young Allana (the human) & Young Anji (the nexu).
Species: Human (1/2), Hapan (1/2)
Homeworld: Hapes
Appears in: The Dark Nest Trilogy | Legacy of the Force | Fate of the Jedi | Good Hunting | Sword of the Jedi Trilogy
"Jedi are supposed to be strong!"
The young daughter of Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka Djo.
- Badass Adorable: She may be a little girl, but she's also an Action Survivor with serious Force potential and a lot of dirty tricks. Then again, when you're part of the Solo/Skywalker clan on your dad's side and descended from Dathomir witches on your mom's, that's not surprising.
- Badass and Child Duo: Briefly with Bazel Warv, though sadly he dies defending her.
- Big Good: If the multitude of visions about her future are to be believed.
- Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": The heir to the Hapes Consortium is referred to as the Chume'da.
- The Chosen One: Allana seems to be headed this way with the frequency of people having visions of her sitting on the Throne of Balance (i.e. having some big part to play in leading the galaxy).
- In Vortex, Taalon sees the vision of Allana and is scared out of his mind of the idea of the galaxy being ruled by a "Jedi Queen." Even Abeloth seems determined not to let this future come to pass. In Conviction, a Sith strike team attempts to assassinate Tenel Ka because they (correctly) fear that she is or will be the mother of the Jedi Queen.
- In Apocalypse it's revealed that The Throne of Balance is actually where the being in charge of the Force itself sits. It's not just stepping stone to get to godhood, it is godhood.
- Dead Guy Junior: Her name is a fusion of the founder of the Witches of Dathomir, Allya, and Jacen's late brother, Anakin.
- Faking the Dead: To hide her from the various groups trying to assassinate her, Tenel Ka pretended she perished in a nanovirus attack, then sent her to be adopted by her grandparents Han Solo and Leia Organa. Allana is now the war orphan Amelia Solo.
- Heroic Bastard: Jacen and Tenel Ka weren't married.
- Little Miss Badass: Is pressed into combat at nine years old.
- Morality Pet: Inverted. The need to protect her ended up pushing Caedus to further and further extremes. Played a bit more straight in the end when he chose to save her instead of protecting himself.
- Small Girl, Big Gun: For her first combat experience, in Apocalypse. She gets a smaller weapon later on.
- What Could Have Been: An Invoked Trope by virtue of the Continuity Reboot. Presumably, her destiny would've been further addressed in the Sword of the Jedi trilogy, but it was cancelled with Crucible being the finale.

Species: Chiss
Appears in: Red Sky, Blue Flame | The New Jedi Order
- Number Two: To Jag in Vanguard Squadron during the Yuuzhan Vong War.
- Odd Name Out: Her name doesn't follow standard Chiss naming conventions, possibly because her author wasn't aware of it. Her name should probably be something like Shawn'kyr'nuruodo.

Sintas Vel
Sintas Vel
Species: Kiffar
Homeworld: Kiffu
Appears in: Tales | Blood Ties | Legacy of the Force
"Never miss me with the first shot. 'Cause you'll never get a second one."
Wife to Boba Fett, Sintas experienced a break up with him, and was frozen in carbonite for 40 years.
- Ascended Extra: At the time she was shown in Tales, her canon status was ambiguous, but it wasn't until All There in the Manual first identified her and confirmed her story as canon, followed up by Blood Ties. She also gets further developed in Legacy of the Force.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Of sorts. Though by the time she is revived, Ailyn is gone and had lived an unhappy life angry at Boba, on the other hand, Sintas and Boba make peace with each other, Boba gives her his stuff so that she doesn't have to bounty-hunt for a living ever again, Sintas gets to meet her own granddaughter and explains to her that the tension with Boba wasn't everything Ailyn cracked it up to be, and Sintas attends Mirta & Ghes' wedding, with Boba offering for her to stay on Mandalore at any time.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: Her arc is basically culminates in this, having come into the story frozen in carbonite, then getting thawed and having to live with her unfortunate repercussions.
- Human Popsicle: She was frozen in carbonite for 40 years.
- Outliving One's Offspring: Outlives her daughter Ailyn due to being frozen in carbonite.
- Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: Boba accuses Sintas over whether or not Ailyn is actually his daughter when they get into an argument about Sintas's rape. Of course, Sintas didn't take it well.
- Rape as Drama: She gets raped by Boba's boss, Lenovar. Boba kills him, but he ends up losing his job as a Protector, gets exiled from Concord Dawn, and was followed up by Sintas & Boba's relationship falling apart and their eventual divorce.
Ailyn Vel
Ailyn Vel
Species: Human (Mandalorian, 1/2), Kiffar (1/2)
Appears in: Tales | Blood Ties | Young Jedi Knights (Retcon) | Legacy of the Force
"It's not illegal to be a bounty hunter."
The daughter of Boba and Sintas, following their footsteps in becoming a bounty hunter. Being raised by Sintas without Boba's influence, she came to resent her absent father and sought revenge against him after her mother's presumed death. After seemingly killing him, she stole his identity.
- All There in the Manual: What happened to Ailyn between Blood Ties and Young Jedi Knights is told only in side material. The Insider article History of the Mandalorians explains that when Sintas mysteriously disappeared on a bounty hunting mission, she blamed this tragedy on Boba for abandoning them and became a bounty hunter to cast her revenge on him. Though she briefly stopped after learning he supposedly eaten by a sarlacc pit, she continued her quest for vengeance when she heard otherwise and killed Spar because she thought he was Boba. She then stole his armor and pretended to be Boba to get higher bounty rates.
- Ascended Extra: She and Sintas originated from Star Wars Tales Issue #7, which was non-canon until they were brought into canon by All There in the Manual (Ailyn wasn't even named until then). Ailyn would be retconned as "Boba" in the Young Jedi Knights books, would be The Ghost for Boba and her own daughter Mirta in Legacy of the Force, and appear in Blood Ties.
- Back for the Dead: She has a brief appearance in Legacy of the Force, only to be killed by Jacen.
- Becoming the Mask: When she met Makin, she only got close to the Mandalorians because she wanted to use that knowledge to help her in her quest to hunt down Boba. However, she fell in love with Makin and had a kid together, even if it ended in a divorce.
- A Birthday, Not a Break: Sintas went missing right before Ailyn's sixteenth birthday.
- Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Apparently, according to Wookieepedia, Ailyn's appearance is based on model Anastasia Heonis.
- Generation Xerox: Like her mother, she fell in love with a Mandalorian warrior and had a daughter with him, then divorced him.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Ailyn was introduced a year before Attack of the Clones casted Maori actors for Jango and Boba, making her look rather Space-Caucasian for someone who should look at least half-Caucasian and half-Maori. Unlike other characters without official live-action actors like Jaina whose depictions keep changing, post-Attack of the Clones content is consistent about keeping Ailyn's look.
- Missed Him by That Much: Played with. She dies in the second book of Legacy of the Force, still trying to avenge her mother by killing Boba, only for Sintas to come back alive in the eighth book.
- Mistaken Identity: According to All There in the Manual, she murdered Spar, having mistaken him for Boba. The mix-up has her fooled for a while.
- Posthumous Character: Though she's dead by the time of Legacy of the Force, she's mentioned repeatedly by Boba and Mirta.
- Retcon: Boba's appearance in the Young Jedi Knights books was later retconned to have been Ailyn disguising herself as Boba to explain why he was acting Out of Character in that series.
- Revenge: She wants revenge against her father for ditching her and her mother, especially after Sintas went MIA.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: Sintas was alive this whole time; she's been in imprisoned in carbonite for the last few decades.
- Shout-Out:
- It's been stated that she was inspired by "gorgeous butt-kickers" like Joan of Arc, Xena, the Bride, and the hookers in Sin City.
- Ailyn pretending to be Boba in Young Jedi Knights was based on Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride.
- Vengeance Feels Empty: When Boba asks Mirta if she ever saw Ailyn happy, she answers no. Considering she dedicated a major part of her life to blaming Boba for Sintas' death and going after him for it...
Mirta Gev
Mirta Gev
Species: Human (Mandalorian, 3/4), Kiffar (1/4)
Homeworld: Mandalore
The granddaughter of Boba Fett, Mirta was born to Fett's daughter Ailyn Vel and Mandalorian warrior Makin Marec, she became her mothers partner in bounty hunting, joining with her in their search to kill her grandfather. She eventually joins Fett after her mothers death and learning that he was nothing like she and her mother had thought.
- Anti-Hero: Type III most of the time, but can be a Type IV on a bad day, like when she kills three unarmed GAG soldiers after being tortured by Darth Caedus.
- Badass Normal: In Legacy of the Force, she is able to go up against a Sith Lord and live to tell about it without any powers of her own.
- Bounty Hunter: Becomes one, not unlike her grandfather and great-grandfather before her.
- Chickification: By Crucible, she's shown as being barely competent enough to be a chief of security for the Qrephs.
- Depending on the Artist: She's depicted as looking rather Caucasian despite having a Space-Maori grandfather (in fairness, she would only be 1/4 Space-Maori, depending on whatever her father's space-ethnicity was), though Tom Hodges depicts her in Karen Traviss's Mandalorian article as being Ambiguously Brown. This is most likely a result of her mother's physical appearance stemming from when it was assumed Boba was white before the release of Attack of the Clones.
- Disappeared Dad: Her father was killed when a starship he was on had a hull breach.
- Generation Xerox: She was raised Mandalorian by her father, and is a Mandalorian warrior like her father and grandfather.
- Happily Married: To Ghes.
- Odd Friendship: With Jaina Solo, considering she's a Jedi and her brother Jacen killed Mirta's mother Ailyn.
- Parental Abandonment: Both her parents end up dead: Marec dies in a hull breach accident and Ailyn is murdered by Jacen Solo.
- You Can't Go Home Again: Caedus had Mandalore seeded with a nanovirus that will kill any member of the Fett family who steps foot on the planet. Mirta has scientists work on a cure, but with the end of Legends, we never see if it works.
Goran Beviin
Goran Beviin
Species: Human
Homeworld: Mandalore
Appears in: Boba Fett: A Practical Man | Legacy of the Force
"I exercise... prudence."
A Mandalorian commando and bounty hunter, Beviin serves a Mandalore Boba Fett's chief advisor and lieutenant. He runs a small farm on Mandalore alongside his husband Medrit Vasur and their adopted daughter Dinua Jeban.
- Anti-Hero: Type II: while he sometimes does political assassinations, he only accepts bounties on criminals and the corrupt.
- The Berserker: He can clear his mind of anything else and have a singleminded focus on killing whatever is in front of him without mercy. The one time this is shown is when he is sparring with Jaina Solo, who gets freaked out by it since Goran is so nice and laid back the rest of the time.
- Bounty Hunter: In addition to his time as a soldier, he's also been a contract killer.
- The Creon: He has had multiple opportunites to become Mandalore, something which Boba Fett would probably welcome, but Goran doesn't want the title anymore than Fett does.
- The Consigliere / Honest Advisor: For Fett: he never holds back on his opinion or criticism of how Fett is handling being Mandalore.
- Deadpan Snarker: Rarely loses an opportunity to sharpen his wit (as sharp as his sword) at Jaina's expense.
- Happily Married: He and his husband share a healthy relationship and have an adopted child.
- Master Swordsman: He uses a beskad (a sword made out of Mandalorian iron) as his main weapon. He killed dozens of Yuuzhan Vong with it in hand-to-hand combat during the war.
- Meaningful Name: In Mando'a, "goran" means "smith" and "beviin" means "lance".
- Number Two: To Fett, often being placed in charge of any potential crises that might come up when Fett isn't on Mandalore, which is very often.
- Straight Gay: He ha no real stereotypical traits and is a well-respected Mandalorian. Boba Fett treats them no different than he would a straight couple and if anything, seems to envy their familial stability compared to his own.

- The Blacksmith: His job. He's personally responsible for making Boba Fett's customized beskar armor that he wears as Mandalore.
- Properly Paranoid: Designed Boba's armor with the goal of preventing specifically decapitation from being possible. Seeing how Jango died, this was a good precaution.

Ghes Orade
Ghes Orade
Species: Human
Appears in: Legacy of the Force
Having lost his parents at a young age, he was taken in by Novoc, a family friend. He would later serve Mand'alor Boba Fett during the Second Galactic Civil War. During the war, he fell in love with and married Boba's granddaughter, Mirta.
- Meaningful Name: His last name/clan name, Orade, is derived from the Mando'a word, orar, meaning "thunder". Fitting for a brave and bold Mandalorian warrior.
- Twerp Sweating: Gets a fairly minor case of this from Boba.

- Dual Wielding: He uses both of his mother's lightsabers.
- Meaningful Name:
- "Venku" is derived from the Mando'a word, vencuyot, meaning "future", specifically, "positive future". Considering he was born after Order 66 and the rise of The Empire...
- Kad is the Mando'a word for "saber". Since he's the son of a Jedi...
- The Reveal: It wasn't revealed until later in the Republic Commando books that Venku from the Legacy of the Force books is the son of Darman & Etain.

- Modest Royalty: Despite her royal status, Nina was content to go about the marketplace and shop like any other Artorian.

Kaye Galfridian
Princess Kaye Galfridian
Species: Human
Homeworld: Artorias
- Action Girl: She kills a Yuuzhan Vong warrior with nothing more than a knife, and later kills two stormtroopers with her bare hands. It's implied that this strength is due at least in part due to being an artificial Vong hybrid.
- Half-Human Hybrid: Possibly, in terms of a bit of post-natal genetic manipulation. It's never made clear, but it's implied to be where she gets her extraordinary physical strength from.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Arbeloa, a towering warrior, as a non-romantic example. In one issue, she asks him to relay orders to an army, only for him to tell her that she is their leader. She replies that she wanted him to signal because he's the one tall enough to be seen over several rows of heads.

- The Big Guy: He serves as the towering bruiser who enforces the authority of the much smaller but more charismatic Kaye Galfridian.
- Delinquent Hair: His hair is styled in a mohawk.
- Genuine Human Hide: After the slave revolt takes over the Tsam P'ah, he makes himself a hat out of the scalp and upper face of the slave ship's Yuuzhan Vong master.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Kaye, whom he views as his sworn leader after the slave revolt — he's over a head taller than and around three times as broad as she is.
- Last of His Kind: He's the last survivor of the Cilare people after their genocide at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong.
- Undying Loyalty: Towards Kaye, after she frees him. This is not simply gratitude, but recognition of her leadership skills and capacity for well-directed violence.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Gives Kaye a speech along these lines when it seems like she's doubting herself. It wasn't remotely necessary, but it was nice.

- The Brute: To Daala.
- Kick the Dog: His cold-blooded murder of Kani Asari certainly qualifies.
- Psycho for Hire: He'll do pretty much anything for money. Morals don't seem to enter the equation.

Abeloth
Abeloth
Appears in: Fate of the Jedi
Abeloth is a Force entity that is discovered living in the Maw by Luke and Ben in 43 ABY. She causes a group of Jedi Knights who stayed in the Shelter space station located in the Maw during the Yuuzhan Vong War to go crazy and try to seek her out, in an attempt to gather an army of Force users to take over the galaxy as the "Beloved Queen of the Stars", and to take their bodies as her own. When that fails, she co-opts portions of the Lost Tribe of Sith to serve her. She is eventually revealed to be related to The Ones, a group of Force entities encountered during The Clone Wars. At the end of Fate of the Jedi, her bodies have been destroyed along with a manifestation of herself in Beyond Shadows, but she will eventually reform, causing the Jedi Order to take steps to stop her for good when she returns.
- Ancient Evil: Was once a mortal woman who served The Ones, before becoming an Eldritch Abomination that The Ones had to seal away.
- Assimilation Plot: She takes bodies as her own and absorbs minds in order to make herself stronger.
- Big Bad: Of Fate of the Jedi.
- Combat Tentacles: Her hands have long, writhing tentacles for fingers with suction cup tips, and she can use them to attack.
- Complete Immortality: She cannot be killed by any ordinary means but can only be sealed away, the Dagger of Mortis is the only weapon that can truly kill her.
- Dark and Troubled Past: She used to be the Servant to the Ones, but eventually, they accepted her as one of their own, becoming the Mother. But as she was still mortal, she feared that she would lose her family one day, so she drank from the Fountain of Power and bathed in the Pool of Knowledge to be like them, but the process instead turned her into the monster that she is now, causing her family to have to seal her away every now and then.
- Eldritch Abomination: She has become an unfathomable being that is extremely powerful in both sides of the Force, even if she was once a mortal.
- Humanoid Abomination: When she's disguised as someone.
- Emotion Eater: Abeloth gains her power by feeding off peoples' negative emotions.
- Enemy to All Living Things: Death follows her everywhere.
- Face–Monster Turn: Upon drinking from the Font of Power and bathing in the Pool of Knowledge.
- Face Stealer: She can look like anyone she absorbs.
- Fighting a Shadow: The reason she's so hard to kill. The real Abeloth seems to exist almost totally within the Force and she can take over physical bodies- sometimes more than one at a time to interact with the physical universe. Killing them weakens her, but doesn't hurt her much in the long run.
- Final Boss: She's the Big Bad of the last major story arc in the Legends continuity, as well as likely the single most powerful malevolent being faced by Luke's generation of heroes. The Qreph brothers serve as a Post-Final Boss of sorts in Crucible, and Darth Krayt will survive for a few more eras to serve as the Big Bad to a much later generation of heroes.
- Galactic Conqueror: Abeloth wants to take over the galaxy because she craves adoration.
- Glamor Failure: Both Luke and Vestara can see through her illusions.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: Her real motivation stemming from her past as the Mother. In fact, love is the very reason why she turned into an abomination: she wanted to be inmortal in order to stay with the Ones forever.
- Irony: She drank from the Font of Power and bathed in the waters of the Pool of Knowledge in hopes that it would mean she would never lose her family. It ultimately results in her in not only losing her family, but they have to go through the process of confronting her and sealing her away on a timely basis until they're killed during the Clone Wars.
- More than Mind Control: This is how she ends up controlling every person in the Maw.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Following the title of the last book in the series, not to mention the Thuruht queen's statement about the end times arriving as soon as she learns about Abeloth's unsealment, it's basically spelled out that her main goal is to spread as much death and destruction to the universe as possible.
- Physical Goddess: She has divine levels of power. Even Luke at the height of his power is barely able to hold out against her in the ethereal realm, and it takes an Enemy Mine between him and Darth Krayt for her ethereal realm aspect to be defeated.
- Replacement Goldfish: She tried to force Ben Skywalker and Vestara Khai to take the place of her children, though they instead fought back.
- Scary Teeth: Her mouth is filled with sharp, needle-like fangs.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: She was sealed in the Maw, which was made to imprison her.
- Was Once A Woman: She didn't become an Eldritch Abomination until she tampered with the Fountain of Power and Pool of Knowledge.
- Yandere: She inherited her interest in Luke from assimilating Callista. Notably, after Callista's spirit is expelled from her, Abeloth never again shows much personal interest in Luke.
