m'Ord Vinka was a Jedi and Grand Master of the Jedi Order in the years leading up to the Seswenna Security Crisis. He was also a founder, along with his then-apprentice Starbuck, of the secret faction Opus Lucem. m'Ord Vinka was viewed as power-hungry and zealous; he often clashed with some members of the order for his aloofness and lack of interpersonal relationships. He attempted to go around the order of Supreme Chancellor Anwis Eddicus when Senator Awa Moonflower traveled home to Seswenna after receiving death threats. He traveled there on his own mission, in part to find out who had murdered Senator Hanik Regueny, relieving Fay in the process. He died in the catastrophe that enveloped the world. This resulted in a power vacuum in both the Jedi Order and the Opus Lucem society.
