- Links: none
- Age: 35 years
- Force Sensitivity: Jedi Master
- Species: Miraluka
- Appearance: Eliza is a Miraluka female. She stands at 5'4" and is slightly built but muscular. She has short auburn hair typically hidden beneath a hooded cowl that covers her face down to her just above her nose. Eliza typically wears the Robes of the Jedi Shadows though modified to accommodate her fighting style. Her robes are less bulky and baggy and instead are light and non-restricting.
- Name: Eliza Ricon
- Loyalties: The Jedi Order of the Galactic Republic (formerly), the Jedi Order of the Galactic Alliance, The Jedi Shadows.
- Wealth: Virtually no personal wealth, funds supplied from the Jedi Order.
- Notable Possessions: None of particular note.
- Skills: Eliza has intermediate to skilled abilities in most basic force abilities (such as force push and pull). However, her duties as a Jedi Shadow has her most adept skills specialized to force stealth, investigation techniques, and lightsaber combat. As such, she is specialized in her force abilities and weaker in other abilities that most force users at the Master level would not be (e.g., healing, telepathy).
- Personality: Eliza's personality is friendly but cool. As with many Jedi Shadows she has grown accustomed to working missions alone and being overly cautious. Guarded at all times, Eliza is hard to get to know but always professional. Despite this, she is still a Jedi and will go out of her way to ensure that the tenets of her order are met and good is done for those around her. Eliza can be sarcastic and a bit quick tongued in conversation. Eliza is also an excellent investigator and agent. Throughout her time with the Shadows she focused much of her work on espionage and tracking down Sith infiltrators.
- Weapon of Choice: Twin lightsabers, blue blades.
- Combat Function: Eliza is not intended for use against anyone other than NPCs. That being said, in combat Eliza would focus on speedy, deceptive attacks. She focuses on a blend of Niman and Ataru for her attack style, using creative attacks with speed and acrobatics. Eliza, while impressive, has focused much of her time as a Shadow on the espionage side of the group. As such, her experience in lightsaber to lightsaber combat is less than what it should be for many Jedi Masters, though she is still capable of holding her own. One of her greatest weaknesses is one shared by many Jedi Shadows. Her force use is specialized around stealth and therefore she is far less well-rounded compared to other Jedi Masters.
Eliza Ricon joined the Jedi Order intent on becoming a Jedi Researcher. She had always had an aptitude for investigative work and enjoyed exploring research topics. However, around the time of her Knighting she had been approached by Jedi Master Kian Karr, who had only recently been appointed the head of the Jedi Shadows. Eliza had not ever considered joining the secretive group, but Kian had convinced her to work with his organization. Eliza spent much of her Knighthood tracking down Sith infiltrators in the Republic and gather intelligence that made the day-to-day operations of the Jedi Shadows possible. She had an aptitude for this sort of work and became a vital part of the Shadows. Kian relied so heavily on Eliza's abilities that she became the de facto second in command of the Jedi Shadows during his tenure as the Master of Shadows and was often found on the Gnost Dural, the Shadow's home base, directing the operations of the secretive sect. Following a string of successful operations and the retrieval of some leaked information that would have hurt the Republic, Eliza was promoted to the rank of Jedi Master.
With the Fall of the Republic and the sudden disappearance of Jedi Master Kian Karr, Eliza Ricon became the head of the Jedi Shadows in exile. Those that had survived the fall of the Republic took refuge upon the Gnost Dural under Master Ricon's leadership. Many of the officers and staff who ran the Gnost Dural, lived on the ship year round. As such, when the Republic fell, many stayed, realizing they had no where to go and their families were with them. The vessel was commissioned as part of the Galactic Alliance and Eliza Ricon began the process of transitioning over to the new government. However, as the numbers were few at this time, Eliza did not engage the Shadows in direct operations of the GA, but rather focused their attention on trying to discover the whereabouts of Master Karr and finding the missing Shadows who they had lost contact with.
