Jace Malcom
Jace Malcom--Acting Supreme Commander of the Republic Military, celebrated Republic war hero and one-time leader of Havoc Squad--has spent most of his life locked in battle with the Sith Empire. His forces respect his calm leadership, and he offers the same respect in return, regardless of rank or position. Among his many legendary victories, his earliest defining success was his clash with Darth Malgus during the Battle of Alderaan. With help from Havoc Squad and Jedi Knight Satele Shan, Malcom ambushed the invading Imperial army and successfully forced Darth Malgus to retreat. Malcom still wears scars from that battle as a proud reminder that one must be willing to sacrifice everything to defeat the enemies of peace and justice.
Details of his brief romance with Shan are a closely-guarded secret. Their relationship began on the battlefield and continued behind closed doors as the soldier and Jedi found trust and love in each other's company. Their love affair ended shortly after it began, but not before they sired a son: Theron Shan. Satele hid Theron's existence, and Malcom only met his lost son many years later.
Malcom later served as the Supreme Commander of the Republic Military. When the Eternal Empire rose as a major galactic threat, he pushed for open defiance, but his hands were tied by a corrupt chancellor and a browbeaten senate. He finally found support after Coruscant was nearly destroyed by the Eternal Empire. As the Republic rebuilt, Malcom used his newfound political clout to raise an army and prepare for the coming war. Under his watch, the Republic would stop at nothing to reclaim its lost glory and restore peace to the galaxy.
