Zavio Seithe

Zavio Seithe was the second son of Genera Seithe, dictator of Daispin, and one of his father's foremost agents.

Zavio's elder brother, Tristan, was already marked out as Genera's heir, and so Zavio carved out his own niche, specializing in intelligence work and covert wetworks even as he trained at Daispin's military academies. He was well-known for his icy, unflappable demeanor; while he might take revenge for a slight or punish a failing of a compatriot or underling, he never did so in the heat of anger. He was instrumental in rooting out various Tantaari (and occasionally Human) conspiracies against his father and family.

Zavio did not share his father and elder brother's contempt for the Tantaari, but found it a useful tool for uniting the Human populace of Daispin. When Genera learned that his half-Tantaari daughter, Tristaria, had secretly married a Tantaari, he dispatched Zavio to deal with the situation. Zavio had the young man kidnapped, but coldly dismissed the suggestions of his hired thugs that they blind, emasculate, or otherwise mutilate Aria's husband, saying, "We will punish the animals when they seek to trespass beyond their stations, but we will not become animals ourselves." He then killed Tristaria's husband with a knife stab to the heart.

Given a field command at the Battle of Gantu despite his relative inexperience in direct combat, Zavio was the first to perceive his half-sister's defection to the Tantaari and ordered his forces to fire on her position. Tristaria dodged the fire, to Zavio's position, and decapitated him with her lightsabers.
