[edit] Biography
According to Mical, Arren Kae was one of the Masters that Revan held during his time as a Jedi Padawan. She managed to keep a secret love affair, and a child for almost a decade, until she was exiled by virtue of one of the Order's rules which states Jedi should not have worldly attachments.
The father was Senator and General Yusanis of Echani, a famed and powerful warrior. When Kae was exiled, she was welcomed by Revan to join the Revanchists and fought the Mandalorians alongside him until the Battle of Malachor V. Yusanis followed her to war, breaking an oath to a person to whom he had pledged himself, and eventually became one of the greatest heroes of the conflict, but he would return alone and forsake battle, serving since as a Senator for his people. Their child, Brianna, would later be known as the Last of the Handmaidens, the Echani sisters that catered to Jedi Master Atris.
Arren was assumed to have died during the Mandalorian Wars at Malachor V even though no body was ever recovered. Yusanis was slain by Revan in the Jedi Civil War when Revan sought to destabilize the Echani worlds. The Jedi Exile would meet Brianna in the Telosian Jedi Academy in 3,951 BBY and speak to her, indulging her curiosity and answering her questions on how was it to feel the Force. As she followed Atris, she secretly wished to follow the call of her mother and become a Jedi like her, which she possibly did eventually, being Force-sensitive.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- "She was… said to be… a skilled warrior. Beautiful. And strong in the Force."
- ―Kreia[src]
Kae's daughter, Brianna, is a playable character in the computer and video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Her Jedi heritage allows her to be trained in the ways of the Force. In gameplay, Brianna comes with Kae's Jedi robe as a usable item, a white robe which grants a bonus to the wearer's Charisma. The Echani are also known to look strikingly alike to their parent of the same sex. In this manner, Brianna is said to bear the face of her mother, Arren Kae. If one was to play the Exile as a male and go through with the Echani training sessions with Brianna, Kreia would tell the tale of how Arren was exiled from the Order, unlocking more lines with Brianna in which she speaks of her father, and how he broke his oath to be with the one he loved. Both Kae and Kreia are said to be Revan's first and last Master, the sources being Mical and Kreia respectively. On whether Kreia and Kae are one and the same, lead designer Chris Avellone said "Can’t comment, but good catch. Sorry."[1]
"Arren Kae" is also the name of a character created by Obsidian Entertainment for beta-testing purposes, who had the PFHC06 portrait, or "girl with platinum blonde hair." This reference can be found in the dialog.tlk file, where another character, Eras Jast, is mentioned as well.
