Bala Nisi was a female Human Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Order's Dantooine Enclave Council during the Great Hunt and the Mandalorian Wars. Less harsh in her judgments than fellow Master Vrook Lamar, Master Nisi did not hold Duron Qel-Droma's relationship to Ulic Qel-Droma against him. She believed that it was one's choices, not bloodline, that could lead to the dark side. However, she did agree with Vrook that Qel-Droma's group of three Jedi Knights - which included Guun Han Saresh and Shaela Nuur - that were secretly sent to Korriban to purge the planet of terentateks was too small, fearing that the party would be corrupted by the planet's dark influence.
