The Human male who fathered Shae Koda was a Je'daii Order member residing on the planet of Tython. Sporting light skin, orange hair, and a green triangle tattoo on his forehead, he and his wife, who were of Dathomiri heritage, had a daughter named Shae Koda. This occurred prior to 25,805 BBY, the year when the Twi'lek Despot Queen Hadiya launched an attempted conquest of the Tython system during the Despot War. In the conflict on Tython, Koda's mother and father fought against the Despot Army, but Hadiya herself killed them both at the gates of Kaleth, the Knowledge Temple.
Despite the Je'daii's ultimate victory in the Despot War, Koda was orphaned and harbored resentment towards her parents for what she perceived as their abandonment. In 25,793 BBY, while within the Rift, a dark side-infused ravine on Tython, Koda was confronted with visions of her parents and, consumed by rage, attacked them. The following [year](/article/standard_year/legends], in 25,792 BBY, Koda's parents manifested before her in a vision within the depths of the Chasm on Tython.
The initial mention of Shae Koda's father occurred in Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi 0, a prequel to the comic book series Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi. His first visual appearance was in a vision within the 2012 comic book Dawn of the Jedi: Force Storm 4. Furthermore, her parents were referenced in the sixth issue of the same comic series.
