Vaylin

Vaylin is a fictional character in Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR), a massively multiplayer online role-playing game by BioWare. She is the eldest child of Emperor Valkorion and the public face of the Eternal Empire on the planet Zakuul. Introduced as the Empire’s ruthless military commander, Vaylin is depicted as a powerful Force user and skilled lightsaber combatant who pursues conquest with little regard for collateral damage. Her leadership helps drive the Eternal Empire’s expansion across the galaxy and positions her as the principal antagonist of the Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Eternal Throne storylines.

Characterized by strategic ruthlessness and impulsive aggression, Vaylin challenges both the Outlander player character and various factions aligned with Valkorion. Across cutscenes and missions, she demonstrates exceptional martial prowess and formidable command over the Empire’s military forces. Her arc explores themes of parental control, loyalty, and the costs of power within the broader SWTOR narrative.

In gameplay, Vaylin appears as a major adversary whose defeat marks a turning point in the Eternal Throne arc. She remains one of SWTOR’s most memorable antagonists due to her intense presence, relentless drive, and the high-stakes confrontations she orchestrates.
