Malya, a Human female originating from the Undercity on Taris, held the position of Rukil's final student.
During her search for information regarding the whereabouts of the Promised Land, she discovered entries in her journal indicating that Rukil's ancestors, his father and grandfather, had ventured into the lower sewers of Taris. In the year 3956 BBY, she met her death at the hands of rakghouls in the Undercity surface area (a different fate than Rukil's father and grandfather, who perished in the sewers). However, her journal, along with those of Rukil's father and grandfather, were retrieved and delivered to Revan, who then passed them on to Rukil.
Rukil then entrusted the three journals to Gendar, thereby readying the Outcasts for their departure from the village towards the Promised Land.
