Tristan Seithe

Tristan Seithe was the firstborn son and heir of Genera Seithe, a dictator of Daispin.

Tristan was born late in the reign of Tristarian Zelon and was named in honor of the dictator, his father's master. When Zelon died months later, Genera Seithe took control of Daispin. He raised Tristan to be his heir, providing Tristan education at Daispin's most prominent academies and military training sites. Tristan also helped teach his younger brothers, Zavio and Kiryn.

Raised to be as as his father, Tristan was disgusted when his father took Aharet Kazic, a Tantaari woman, as a concubine. He treated Aharet's two children, his half-siblings Kaiel and Tristaria, with contempt, and when Aharet died, Tristan poisoned Kaiel in 122 ABY.

Tristan entered military service as one of his father's principal commanders. Though not as skillful as his father in the field, he was an efficient commander and oversaw the devastation of several Tantaari holdout villages. When Genera planned to finally wipe out the Tantaari resistance at Gantu, he selected Tristan to be his aide-de-camp while he commanded personally.

Tristan suggested throwing his half-sister Tristaria onto the front lines, and Genera adopted the idea. When Aria turned on her father's army at the Battle of Gantu, Tristan assumed a division command as the lines started to crack. Aria killed Zavio and Kiryn before fighting her way across the battlefield at Tristan. He tried to shoot her, but she cut off his blaster arm with her lightsabers, then cut him in half at the chest.
