—Silas Portrun
Silas Portrun was a Pantoran/Human hybrid Jedi Master and Jedi General during the Clone Wars. He commanded the squadron known as Raven Squadron. His known master was Oriuss Stealthgleam, and his known apprentices were Quik Silverrunner, Satar Hover and Swilla Shieldstun.
Portrun survived Order 66 with his friend, Padme Heart. They resided as bounty hunters. Silas returned during that time to his home planet of Orto Plutonia, where he had been born in 40 BBY. As the Rebels started to form and scored victories against the Empire, the Miko Jedi Master joined them. He then became a master on the new Jedi Council. There he met Luke Skywalker and returned to the Jedi ways. He later married Padme Heart and they had two children, the female Arya Portrun and the male Xhall Portrun, in 17 BBY. Later, around 1 ABY, Portrun's daughter turned on the Jedi Order and attacked her father, who was forced to kill her.
In 57 ABY, Portrun was told of a young Sith, known as Merra Notla, on Hoth. He and two other Jedi set out to kill her. When they got there, they immediately spotted her. After Notla killed the two other Jedi easily, the two combatants forced each other in battle to a large ledge. Portrun swung his blue lightsaber up to parry an attack, but Meera tricked him and stabbed him through the gut with her blood red lightsaber. Just before Master Portrun fell off, he scared the young Sith with his Miko lightning. He died in 57 ABY; his grandson, Celtic Portrun, found him and swore revenge on Meera Notla.
