Information:

Master Esset has many honors among the Jedi Order. She is one of the few Jedi that was old enough before they began their training to remember their homeworld and still be trained successfully. Born a desert nomad, the order adopted her when she displayed force potential in surviving an attack that left the rest of her clan dead. She has served the Order on many missions since she became a Padawan under Master Eevek, fought in the battle of Coruscant, freed slaves on Belsavis, and successfully trained three apprentices into knighthood.

Pleione carries with her the free-willed spirit of her home region, and because of this she has often been a thorn in the side of the Council. It is for this reason that despite her age, she has not managed to secure a seat on the Council. It's unlikely she'd take the position anyway. Esset seems to love physical field work, and is perhaps the fittest Jedi of her comparative age in the Order. The Council would rather have her in the field; her empathy for those that have fallen to the Dark Side and her optimism in believing they can return to the light is not a good fit when the Sith threat is so clear and present.

Despite this, Esset's track record speaks for itself. With few fit masters to train Jedi in this time of need, she is one of the few Masters that has been trainign two Padawns simultaneously.

This practice is a rarity, done only out of desperation.

While on Nar Shaddaa, Pleione got involved in a game of chance with Urba the Hutt with a massive payout on the line. Her apprentices were perplexed by her decision to participate, and even more perplexed when she did not use the force to rig the game in her favor. Pleione lost the bet, adn as a result, she and her apprentices are currently stuck as crew members aboard the Songsteel Lotus.
