Alleya Vandaar was the mother of Jacen Vandaar and the wife of Marek Vandaar. She was born Alleya Mandata, but changed her last name when she married Marek. Alleya was a failed Jedi Padawan who grew to resent the Jedi and what they stood for. When she had her son, Jacen, she feared that one day, the Jedi would come for him. When that day finally came and Jedi Knight Alisia Varute requested permission to take him to the Jedi Temple, Alleya refused.
