Biography[]
Early life[]
Born on Zakuul, Aldrianne was found to be Force-sensitive at a young age and taken into the Zakuul Knights program. She was trained in the Force and lightsaber forms of the Knights, and taught their belief system that the Force was a reward given for following the ideals of Zakuul, and a tool to be used in the pursuit of justice.
Relationship with Arcann[]
Arcann, Aldrianne's lover, before he was wounded in battle.
As a teenager, Aldrianne was assigned as an ally and fellow student of the Princes, Arcann and Thexan. Aldrianne favored Arcann, and the two became friends. Arcann, who was always jealous of his brother and angry at his father, poured out his anger when talking to Aldrianne, and she tried to comfort him. When the two were together, Arcann managed to keep some semblance of calm. However, the longer they were separated, the more he failed to control his emotions.
Although she truly loved Arcann, Aldrianne also used his attachment to her to her advantage, using it to climb the ladder in the ranks of the Knights. She was soon assigned as a guard in the throne room. When Arcann's face was badly deformed in battle, Aldrianne shied away from him, causing him to push her away. After Arcann killed his brother Thexan, he sent Aldrianne away and refused to speak with her further. Aldrianne was enraged by this, but also saddened by Arcann's blind murder of his own brother. To ensure she kept their relationship secret, Arcann promoted her further and had her sent far from the homeworld.
When Arcann became Emperor, he promoted her again and put her over a division of Knights elsewhere in Zakuul space. Aldrianne was tasked with hunting down the Alliance that formed against the Eternal Empire under the leadership of the Outlander who murdered Emperor Valkorion.
Behind the Scenes[]
In Aldrianne's live-action appearances, beginning with Spells of the Sirens, she is depicted by actress Olivia Munn. This is Munn's second character in the author's Star Wars universe; in an alternate timeline, she played Olyvia, a dancer—a reference to the fact that Munn has in real life previously donned the Slave Leia costume.
