The Shedai Maker was one of the most powerful and influential of the Shedai Serrataal.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Maker discovered a non-sentient telepathic species living in a volcanic crevasse on a class Y planet. She found their telepathy to be a useful characteristic and changed them to become part of the Shedai Conduit communication network as Kollotuul, or the Voice of the Shedai. (VAN novel: Reap the Whirlwind)
Aeons ago, the Maker led other Serrataal against the Shedai Apostate and the Tkon Empire, who had developed a weapon against the Shedai. Eventually, they ambushed the Tkon's capital system and detonated its star which ended the Tkon threat. (VAN novella: The Stars Look Down)
In 2266, after thousands of years of hibernation, the Maker, and other Shedai, were awakened by the Shedai Wanderer. She returned to the First World and immediately called a census, discovering that the Apostate was not among the returned Serrataal. She commanded his return to join the Shedai Colloquium.
