Aebal was a Rodian[2] Jedi Master in the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era.[3] He[2] was the Jedi Master of the human Jedi youngling Gavi and was stationed at the Jedi temple on[3] the Outer Rim planet Valo.[2] In 230 BBY,[1] the Nihil pirates attacked Valo and Gavi's Master was killed by a Nameless—creatures that fed on Force-sensitives and petrified them—which the youngling witnessed. The event left Gavi's connection to the Force shaken and caused him to become anxious and fearful.[3]

Aebal was first mentioned in Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia, a 2023 reference book written by Megan Crouse and Amy Richau.[3]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 The events of The High Republic: Escape from Valo take place one year after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which equates to 229 BBY per Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia. The novel establishes that the attack on Valo—in which all of the Valo Temple's Jedi Masters died on Valo—took place one year before, meaning Aebal must have passed away in 230 BBY.
