Malyssa Raventhorn, a Zeltron thief of the female persuasion, held the position of mistress to Imperial Captain Mulchive Wermis. This was during his tenure as the administrator overseeing the space station known as The Wheel. Following Wermis's death, which resulted from a heart attack brought on by the New Republic's assault on the Imperials stationed at the Wheel, Raventhorn disappeared from the scene.
During the eras of both the Galactic Empire and its successor, the New Republic, lived Malyssa Raventhorn, a female Zeltron. She operated as a thief during the Galactic Civil War, a conflict between the Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Notably, she was the sole bounty successfully captured by the Chadra-Fan bounty hunter Tutti Snibit. However, Snibit's attention was diverted by Cambrian wine and conversation with Raventhorn, leading to his incapacitation and her subsequent escape. Later in life, she became the mistress of Mulchive Wermis, a Human and a captain in the Imperial Navy. Wermis was reassigned from his command of the Star Destroyer Devastator to a post on The Wheel, a space station. He brought Raventhorn along with him to the station, where he served as its administrator for a number of years. During this time, he became overweight and inactive, secretly diverting a portion of the station's profits for his own gain instead of remitting them to the Empire.
Wermis's administrative role concluded when the Besh Gorgon system, the location of the Wheel, was liberated by the newly established New Republic. This event triggered a fatal heart attack in Wermis. On the very same day as her lover's demise, Raventhorn, along with all of Wermis's pilfered credits, vanished completely.
The initial mention of Malyssa Raventhorn appeared in The Not-So Magnificent Seven, an article penned by Greg Mitchell. Her background was further developed in the second installment of Viva Space Vegas! The History of the Marvelous Wheel, a pair of articles published in 2013 on the StarWars.com blog and authored by Abel G. Peña and Rich Handley.
