Aven is a male Mirialan Padawan of the Jedi Order who resided on the Jedi homeworld of Tython during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Learning Basic late in his life, the black-haired Aven had green eyes as well as the olive-colored skin and facial tattoos typical of his species. Aven was employed by the Jedi Masters at the Temple on Tython to bring word to new arrivals of the teaching resources available to them. When a young initiate arrived at the Temple in 3,643 BBY, Aven informed the other Jedi that Master Muheeda would instruct the student in other skills and uses of the Force.
