Shylar was a Human female Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. In 22 BBY, she tried to infiltrate the headquarters of Confederacy of Independent Systems leader and Sith Lord Count Dooku. However, Shylar was captured and subsequently tortured to death by Dooku and his Dark Jedi Kadrian Sey. Her old friend and fellow Jedi Quinlan Vos, with whom she had a romantic relationship earlier in her life, was unable to save her, as he acted as a spy for the Jedi in Dooku's inner circle.
