Brand was a Force-sensitive individual who served as a Jedi Master during the High Republic Era.[1] Around 134 BBY,[2] he served as a delegate of the Jedi Order present on the Siline during the diplomatic talks between the Silinese government and the Galactic Republic's diplomat Darren Abysina about the planet joining the Republic. During the high ranking member o the Silinese War Council, Rap Arcon, repeatedly challenged Brand to a ritualistic duel, which Brand refused. The Silinese were offended and saw Brand's refusal as a disrespect of their traditions as a former warrior culture and questioned his ability to appropriately negotiate with them, leading to a standstill in the diplomatic negotiations. In response the Jedi High Council ordered Brand from the planet and sent Jedi Masters Elishe and Sol to clear up the misunderstanding.[1]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown
- ↑ The events of The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown take place in 134 BBY per the following reasoning. The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown establishes that Jecki Lon is the Padawan of Sol and Yord Fandar has yet to undertake his Jedi Trials. The novel also states that Lon has been Sol's Padawan for at least two years, as well as that Sol had not taken a Padawan for years after his former Padawan, Verosha Aniseya, left the Jedi Order. From this, at least four years have passed since Aniseya left the Order. "Lost / Found"—the events of which take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes Aniseya left the Order six years before its events, equating to 138 BBY. The episode further states Fandar passed his Jedi Trials two years before its events, meaning he must have passed his Trials in 134 BBY.
