Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Every Major Character Ranked

2. Nightsister Merrin

Easily the most unexpectedly endearing character in the game is Nightsister Merrin, who initially appears as an antagonist on Dathomir, harbouring an understandable resentment for the Jedi, who she believes slaughtered her family.

With her fantastic design and backed by an outstanding performance by actress Tina Ivlev, Merrin's swift turn from enemy to ally is enormously satisfying, forming an uneasy alliance with Cal as they take on their mutual foe, Taron Malicos.

She gets a compelling - if slightly rushed - character arc, and her Spock-like literalism also makes her one of Jedi: Fallen Order's funniest characters, especially when she bluntly tells a beeping BD-1, "I don't know what you're saying." Oh, and she takes her steak rare, so that's another tick in the win column.

It's genuinely rewarding seeing Merrin join Cal's team at the end of the game, and hopefully the inevitable sequel will dig even deeper into her character.
