Deyla Ornel

Deyla Ornel was a famous archeologist and a historian from the city of Ledjin, Uthel, where she worked as a researcher at the local State museum for many years. She was also a wife to Rickster Ornel, and the mother to Saire Ornel.

Early life
Deyla was fond of history from her childhood, the years that she would spent in the halls of the Ledjin State Museum, studying ancient artifacts and old books for hours. In fact that was her grandfather Irvick Hozzuge, that worked in the Museum at those times, and he would take a little girl with him quite often.

When Deyla was 16, she met Rickster Ornel, a young boy, who was studying History under professor Oborro, Irvick's good friend. Deyla and Rickster eventually liked each other and became the best friends.

In 31 BBY Irvick decided to go to Shiib, to study the tombs of Ancient Shiibians. He believed, that he would finally learn the truth about the Dark Man, and Saire and Rickster wanted to help him in this expedition.

As Irvick would write in his diary later, that they finally found the tomb of this legendary King, and that they woke up an ancient evil, buried beneath the sands of Shiib. It appeared that the professor activated sort of an ancient army, that was sleeping in the desert and waiting for the Master to come. Unfortunately the strange beasts, some of which looked very much like cybernetic aghots, attacked the cities of Baash'Baan. Such a conflict would evolve into a full-scale civil war. The ancient warriors would kill anybody in the city, sparing only a few for reasons unknown. Deyla made several pictures of these creatures, that would later be hidden in Ledjin.

The archeologists tried to prevent a more terrible tragedy, by trying to resolve the mysteries of the tombs. They also sent a distress signal to Uthel, but nobody responded.

However during this Civil war, a conflict on Anarmar erupted as well, and the Prime Minister of the planet was hiding on the surface of Shiib, before he could find a way to fight against the Prollian invaders. That was the first meeting between the leaders of Anarmar and Shiib, that decided to help each other during these hard times. Deyla and her friends were also present during these crucial events.
