Awdrysta Pina, nicknamed Green Blade, was a male Human Jedi Master who served the Old Jedi Order and the Old Republic at the time of the First Great Schism.
Biography[]
A Force-sensitive Human male, Awdrysta Pina learned the ways of the Force under the Old Jedi Order. After passing his Trials of Knighthood, he was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight until he achieved the rank of Jedi Master before the First Great Schism happened. Despite having a taste for battle, Master Pina spent most of his time away from Ossus, the Jedi world, and preferred to wander the long forgotten space lanes of the galaxy's Outer Rim. He would eventually construct a twin katanas, imbuing them with the Force and channeling his power through twin emerald focusing crystals. Despite his craving for battle, Pina believed that order and structure were the underlying base of civilization, and therefore responded with earnest when the Order' leaders summoned him to Ossus to combat the Legions of Lettow.
Leading the Jedi forces against the Legions and their leader, Xendor, Pina crushed resistance on Chandrila, Brentaal IV, Metellos and Coruscant before tracking Xendor to Columus. During the fighting, Pina's forces slew fierce warriors such as Sethul Asaiage and Tun Bohoi before Pina finally struck down Xendor himself.
Despite the victory and the death of the Legions' leader, Pina had not sated his need to destroy all those involved. Tracking Xendor's lover Arden Lyn to the planet Irkalla, Pina engaged Lyn in a duel, but his katana shattered upon the powerful Kashi Mer talisman she wore around her neck. Mortally wounded by the flying shards of his own blade, Pina's desire to end Lyn's life did not die. Drawing upon the Force, Pina employed the rarely-used technique called morichro to cease all of Lyn's body functions, ultimately resulting in the stoppage of her heart. Pina passed away during the process and became one with the Force while was suspended in a stasis field deep within a tomb, only to reawaken some 24,000 years later during the First Galactic Civil War.
Behind the scenes[]
According to The Emperor's Pawns author Abel G. Peña, Pina's name originally was "Waldan L'lacielo," an anagram of fellow author Daniel Wallace. This name was changed in editing; Peña later went on to split the anagram and use it for the first names of General Grievous's victims Waldan Bridger and L'lacielo Sageon.
