A quick and enthusiastic learner, Lox sees Azzazzo as a beacon of hope and is impressed with the Padawan’s willingness to help others. While Azzazzo has experience resolving conflicts on the Outer Rim, he is not used to being surrounded by other Jedi — or any individuals — his own age, and is overwhelmed by bustling Coruscant.

For the last century, General Viess has operated as a mercenary-for-hire, now working to lead Marchion Ro’s Ministry of Protection. Viess has a long history of leading hired soldiers into battle and commanding her own squad of mercenaries. She wears armor threaded with beskar as a testament to her successes, and boasts of having killed numerous Jedi.
