• Non-Lethal: Though not a pacifist, they are very hesitant to inflict lethal blows, putting them at a disadvantage against more ruthless opponents.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

If anyone knows the true identity of the Reticent One, then it is a well-guarded secret. They first came to public light during the collapse of the Galactic Alliance and have since been linked to several symbolic criminal acts, from the desecration of monuments to breaking into and vandalizing government buildings. Recently, their actions have escalated to organizing an Alderaanian movement against the Jedi--blaming them for the fall of the Alliance, corruption, and oppressing the common people. Their name, coined by the public, is somewhat paradoxical in that it is both ironic and accurate, given their secretive nature and clear convictions.
