| - Yael was a female Cathar who lived on Ord Mantell during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire.
- Yael is a 9th generation Salubri, childe of Althea of Phillipus. She was a warrior of her clan, and companion of the healer Matthias of Bath.
- Hailing from the middle east and recently having achieved the rank of adren, Shai-Nefer is a lot of things... diplomat, judge, wanderer. The Silent Strider lives at the Greek House of the Black Furies, and despite repeated intentions to not stay around, Yael seems to be doing just that. She's spent most of her life and career in Africa and the Levant working with the Ahadi, until a message and a need for a change of pace brought her here.
- God told Deborah (a prophetess and leader) that she would deliver Israel from Jabin. Deborah called Barak to make up an army to lead into battle against Jabin on the plain of Esdraelon. But Barak demanded that Deborah would accompany him into the battle. Deborah agreed but prophesied that the honour of the killing of the other army's captain would be given to a woman. Jabin's army was led by Sisera (Judg. 4:2), who fled the battle after all was lost. As a result of the murder of Sisera, God gave the victory to Israel. The praise given to 'blessed' Yael in the Bible, is given for her action.

| - Yael was a female Cathar who lived on Ord Mantell during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire.
- Yael is a 9th generation Salubri, childe of Althea of Phillipus. She was a warrior of her clan, and companion of the healer Matthias of Bath.
- God told Deborah (a prophetess and leader) that she would deliver Israel from Jabin. Deborah called Barak to make up an army to lead into battle against Jabin on the plain of Esdraelon. But Barak demanded that Deborah would accompany him into the battle. Deborah agreed but prophesied that the honour of the killing of the other army's captain would be given to a woman. Jabin's army was led by Sisera (Judg. 4:2), who fled the battle after all was lost. Yael received the fleeing Sisera at the settlement of Heber on the plain of Zaanaim. Yael welcomed him into her tent with apparent hospitality. She 'gave him milk' 'in a lordly dish'. Having drunk the refreshing beverage, he lay down and soon sank into the sleep of the weary. While he lay asleep Yael crept stealthily up to him, holding a tent peg and a mallet. She drove it through his temples with such force that it entered into the ground below. And 'at her feet he bowed, he fell; where he bowed, there he fell down dead'. As a result of the murder of Sisera, God gave the victory to Israel. The praise given to 'blessed' Yael in the Bible, is given for her action. This is the part of Deborah's song (Judg. 5:23-27) that refers to the death of Sisera: "Extolled above women be Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite, Extolled above women in the tent. He asked for water, she gave him milk; She brought him cream in a lordly dish. She stretched forth her hand to the nail, Her right hand to the workman's hammer, And she smote Sisera; she crushed his head, She crashed through and transfixed his temples. At her feet he curled himself, he fell, he lay still; At her feet he curled himself, he fell; And where he curled himself, let it be, there he fell dead." Scholars have long recognised that the Song of Deborah, on the basis of linguistic evidence (archaic biblical Hebrew), is one of the oldest parts of the Bible. A similar theme was explored in the Apocryphal Book of Judith ('lioness'). According to Jewish tradition Jael was a convert to Judaism. "Yael" as a given name was not common among Jews prior to the advent of Zionism; in contemporary Israel, however, it is among the most common female given names (see Yael (name)).

She's spent most of her life and career in Africa and the Levant working with the Ahadi, until a message and a need for a change of pace brought her here. Additionally, Yael is well traveled, and has been to a large number of Septs— she spent time traveling across Europe reading and visiting libraries as well as carrying messages, and was a member of the Ahadi for over ten years.
