Legend

this young woman was the widow of Rutin Cobral, and was a native of the planet Frego. Lena was just a teenager when she married Rutin, and was not yet twenty when he was killed. She agreed to testify during the investigation into Rutin's murder, as well as to provide information on the Cobral family's criminal empire, but had to be escorted to Coruscant by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. She explained to the Jedi that she had not known Rutin was the heir to the Cobral family organization, and that she hoped to complete his quest to expose the Cobral family as criminals. She bravely faced the death of Rutin, as well as that of her cousin Mica, in order to escape from Frego with the Jedi Knights. When they arrived on Coruscant, the trio discovered that Senator Crote of Frego had been involved with the Cobral, and provided evidence against him to the Senate. After the Cobral were arrested for their crimes, Lena agreed to return to Frego and help the transitional government settle into place. Before she could leave, however, Lena was attacked by Zanita Cobral. Zanita had been the true leader of the Cobral family all along, and she held Lena personally responsible for the loss of Rutin and the imprisonment of Solan and Bard. Zanita managed to knock Lena senseless, but was unable to kill her before Obi-Wan interceded. Zanita took her own life, instead of being arrested.
