Abediah Viess AKA General Viess was a mercenary during the High Republic era who joined up with the Nihil after the destruction of Starlight Beacon. Viess was a self-proclaimed Jedi killer who took a leadership position in Marchion Ro’s Ministry of Protection.
Viess debuted in the second issue of the comic series The Blade (which is really great).
