Morgan Elsbeth's Timeline

Key Events in Morgan Elsbeth's Star Wars Story

Back to All Characters

Morgan Elsbeth died in 9 ABY.

Morgan Elsbeth was a Force-sensitive human female Nightsister of Dathomir who rose from the ashes of her clan's destruction to become one of the Galactic Empire's most important shipwrights and, later, the driving force behind Grand Admiral Thrawn's return from exile. Born on Dathomir before the Clone Wars, she survived the massacre of the Nightsisters — in which her mother was killed — and spent years as a wanderer and survivor, allying briefly with the Mountain Clan before her ruthlessness and talent for industry brought her into the Empire's service, where she helped construct the Imperial Navy and became a devoted follower of Thrawn. By the New Republic era she ruled the walled city of Calodan on Corvus as its magistrate, terrorizing its people with a regime that wore the chimaera emblem of Thrawn's 7th Fleet; there she offered a spear of pure beskar to the Mandalorian Din Djarin as payment to kill the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano, only to be defeated by Tano herself. Freed from New Republic custody by the mercenaries Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, Elsbeth pursued a map to a distant galaxy, built the hyperspace ring Eye of Sion, and reached the world of Peridea, where the Great Mothers formally accepted her into the Nightsister order and granted her the gift of shadows and the Blade of Talzin. Fighting to buy Thrawn time to escape back to the known galaxy, she was struck down by Ahsoka Tano, dying with the hope of restoring Dathomir's culture unfulfilled.
