Legend

this female Devaronian was one of the many Jedi Masters who felt that the Jedi Order was becoming too militaristic during the early years of the Clone Wars. She left the Order to follow Sora Bulq to Ruul in protest of the Jedi's participation in the war. Distinguished by her large, pointed ears and the pattern of dark spots that covered her skin, Master Jeisel left the Jedi because she felt that the Jedi were becoming as corrupt as the Old Republic they served. When Master Mace Windu arrived on Ruul to mediate a truce, Jeisel acted as the voice of reason among Master Bulq's ardent followers. After Mira's death at the hands of Asajj Ventress, Jeisel found herself working with Master K'kruhk to try and hold their small band together. They tried to rescue Rhad Tarn from Ventress, but Rhad had already begun his turn to the Dark Side of the Force. In a heated lightsaber battle, Jeisel was forced to kill Tarn in order to survive. She was then nearly killed by Ventress, but the timely intervention of Master Windu allowed her a brief escape. When it was revealed that Bulq and Ventress were in league with each other, K'kruhk and Jeisel decided to rejoin Master Windu, at least in order to eliminate the threat they posed. She could not bring herself to return to the Jedi Order, however, since it still was tied to the Republic she feared was too corrupt. After seeing the atrocities Count Dooku was willing to commit in the name of freedom, Jeisel decided that the Republic was worth fighting for, and she returned to battle with Master Tsui Choi. Their ship was attacked near Drongar, and boarded by Dooku himself. Dooku let the Jedi return to Coruscant, but ordered his forces to eliminate any clone troopers aboard the ship. Jeisel later served as a General under Quinlan Vos and Oppo Rancisis during the Siege of Saleucami, although she found herself unable to fully trust Vos' motivations during the conflict. When the battle for control of the planet was launched, Jeisel and Master K'Kruhk were placed in charge of the ground forces that attacked the Separatist stronghold on the planet. After the Republic's forces were successful, mainly due to Quinlan's surprising success against Sora Bulq, Jeisel was forced to admit that she had begun to trust Quinlan again.
