| - Norvan Cheval was a male Human who brought the Cheval family to prominence and was, throughout his life, an Emperor's Hand, a member of various Imperial factions, a member of the New Jedi Order and eventually a member of the Jedi High Council and a Jedi Weapon Master. Born on Coruscant in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Cheval was raised from childhood to be a servant of the Galactic Empire and its leader, Emperor Palpatine, who secretly led a double life as Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith. Cheval learned from both Sidious and his apprentice, Darth Vader, and shortly after the Battle of Yavin was named Hand of the Emperor. Driven by hatred for the Rebel Alliance, Cheval undertook his duties with ruthless efficiency, mercilessly killing anybody who stood between him and favour with the Emperor. Following the Battle of Endor and the death of both the Emperor and Vader, Cheval fled toward the Unknown Regions. At some point, Cheval rendezvoused with Grand Admiral Thrawn and joined his campaign against the New Republic. However, after the Grand Admiral's defeat, Cheval found himself once again lost. Cheval abandoned the Imperial cause for good, and he became a freelance mercenary and bounty hunter for a short time. Eventually, Cheval encountered Vula Karto, a Jedi Knight, who invited Cheval to journey with him to Yavin 4 to join the fledgling New Jedi Order. Despite being sceptical about the Jedi, Cheval believed that they were the only thing left in the galaxy to give his life meaning, and he requested of Grand Master Luke Skywalker that he be allowed to join the Order. Skywalker agreed, and Cheval's new life as a Jedi began. Not long after his induction into the Jedi Order, Cheval assisted his fellow Jedi in defeating the forces of the Empire Reborn and, later, the Disciples of Ragnos. Shortly after the Reborn Crisis, Cheval met fellow Jedi Vetta Milan, and the two quickly formed a firm friendship. While serving together during the Almanian Uprising, the two realised that they were in love and soon consummated their relationship, a union which produced a son, Asaln, and in 20 ABY, the two married. Their happiness was soon shattered, however, by the onset of the Yuuzhan Vong War. The war was enormously destructive and trillions of sentient beings died. The New Republic was shattered to its core and was reorganised into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. Though the invaders would, eventually, be defeated it would take many decades for the galaxy to fully heal. The following decade was spent rebuilding what had been destroyed in the cataclysmic war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and for Cheval it was also spent teaching his son Asaln, as well as his daughter Bella who had been born during the Yuuzhan Vong War, the ways of the Jedi. Both Norvan and Vetta Cheval had become Jedi Masters during the war and were both granted seats on the Jedi High Council. The peace proved only temporary, however, when a new conflict against a hive of Killiks and their allies in the Chiss Ascendancy, though this war was neither as long nor as devastating as the Yuuzhan Vong conflict. Four years later, a new war erupted. Originally fought over the desire of the planet Corellia to be more independent of the Alliance, the conflict rapidly escalated. Cheval briefly found himself reunited with Gilad Pellaeon at Fondor, before the latter's assassination. The war was brought to an end soon after when Jaina Solo succeeded in killing her twin brother, Darth Caedus. Nine more years would pass before the next great galactic conflict, this time waged by a new Sith Empire. Shortly into the war, Cheval was killed on Deralia by Darth Nathemus, the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Sith. However, his family, and therefore his legacy, would continue to influence the galaxy for decades to come.
