The leaders of the Wookiee Liberation Front were collectively known as the Five Masters, and they were headed by the Master in White. Each of these five individuals possessed expertise in various martial arts disciplines, including Wrruushi and the K'thri Arts, which enabled them to navigate dangerous environments unarmed, even where they were unwelcome. A mysterious force devastated their academy, resulting in the deaths of all but the Master in Violet, and reducing the structure to ashes.
