Kiryn Seithe

Kiryn Seithe was a son of the dictator of Daispin, Genera Seithe. He was the youngest of Seithe's fully Human children.

Kiryn's mother died shortly after his birth and, unlike his older half-brothers Tristan and Zavio, was raised alongside his half-Tantaari half-siblings, Kaiel and Tristaria. He was upset when Kaiel died and tried to comfort Tristaria. In the aftermath, however, Tristan and Zavio slowly turned him against Tristaria, bringing him into the anti-Tantaari mentality that dominated Genera Seithe's reign. Kiryn and Tristaria were at Daispin's prestigious Academy together; in early days he tried to look out for her, but eventually went along with those who isolated Tristaria and grew distant from his half-sister.

Kiryn was aware of Tristaria's marriage to a young Tantaari man, but did not tell his family, feeling torn. However, when his father found out, Kiryn also did not warn Tristaria. He was aware when Zavio killed Tristaria's husband and was somewhat unsettled, but kept the secret. Genera Seithe gave Kiryn military responsibilities in reward for his discretion, and Kiryn commanded several attacks on Tantaari villages.

Present for the Battle of Gantu in 136 ABY, Kiryn watched in dismay but little surprise when Tristaria turned on Genera and decapitated Zavio. He hesitated to draw on her as she charged him, pulling his blaster only on reflex when she was at point-blank range, but she cut the side of his knee with one of her lightsabers, dropping him to a kneeling position as she slaughtered his bodyguards. Kiryn felt he could have shot her in the back while her attention was elsewhere, but decided not to. At Tristaria's mercy, Kiryn accepted his fate and gave her the information she had always suspected but never known—that Zavio had killed her husband. He asked only for a quick death, and Aria obliged, running him through the heart.
