History
Jedi Master Loden Greatstorm and his Padawan, Bell Zettifar, were present during the rescue effort in Hetzal system when debris from the Legacy Run entered the system from hyperspace during the Great Disaster. When they were attacked by marauders, Loden lifted the marauders into the air and dropped them to injure them.
In the aftermath of the Great Disaster, Greatstorm and his Padawan went to Elphrona, where they were stationed at a Jedi outpost along with Indeera Stokes and Porter Engle. When the Jedi on Elphrona discovered that the Blythe family was kidnapped, they chased the Nihil raiders who kidnapped them. Greatstorm and Zettifar were able to save the mother and Loden protected her when the Nihil ship began firing at them. When Stokes showed up with two Vectors, they began pursuing the enemy. Greatstorm used the mind trick to force the Nihil pilot to slow her ship and open air lock, so they could get inside the ship and save the family. Stokes was able to save the son, but Loden's Vector was destroyed by incoming Nihil ships and he wasn't able to escape with the father.
After being captured by the Nihil, Loden was locked in a cell on Gaze Electric, where Marchion Ro set up special cells to imprison Greatstorm.
Following the Nihil attack on the Valo Republic Fair, the Jedi journeyed to the Nihil's main base on the planetoid Grizal for a counterattack. Greatstorm fell from the Gaze Electric and was saved by Zettifar's telekinesis. They fought side-by-side for a time, though Greatstorm was soon exhausted. The pair were attempting to prevent Lourna Dee from escaping when Ro unleashed the Great Leveler, a creature that could sever a being's connection to the Force. Zettifar and Elzar Mann were overcome by visions, but Greatstorm was killed. His body appeared to be petrified with his features frozen in a scream. When Stellan Gios touched the deceased's cheek, his body crumbled into dust.
Sometime before Greatstorm was lost, Reath Silas had met the great Jedi and seen how his rare ability to influence emotions with the Force could be beneficial when used correctly. After the Master's death, Silas thought of the example set by Greatstorm when the empathic Imri Cantaros smoothed out his upset feelings, and he was prepared to cite Greatstorm to defend Cantaros against Vernestra Rwoh's concerns about manipulating emotions.
