Talk:Joruus C'baoth

here is a possible new article, borrowed form wikipedia- it seems to be more detailed:

Joruus C'Baoth (b. 16 BSW4, d. 9 ASW4) was a fictional character who was the sole known surviving clone of the Old Republic Jedi Master Jorus C'Baoth.

Jorus C'Baoth (original)
The original Jorus C'Baoth (note the spelling) was from the planet Borthras in the Reithras sector (4/32/112, pre-Empire dates). At the age of 17, he began attending Minic University (6/14/95-4/32/90) in preparation for attendning the Kamparas' Jedi Training Center (2/15/90-8/33/88). After two years, he began training under an unknown or unidentified Master. C'Baoth progressed rapidly; a mere two years later Jorus C'Baoth would rise to the rank of Jedi Knight. 12 years later, he would become a Jedi Master (4/3/74).

Activities
The original C'Baoth was a highly respected, active (and some would say overly ambitious and publicity-hungry) Jedi. He was unusually active in Old Republic politics, participating in a demilitarization observation group on the planet Ando (8/82-7/81), the Galactic Senate's "Inter-species Advisory Comittee" (9/81-6/79), was a member of the task force the Jedi Order assembled to eliminate the Bpfasshi Dark Jedi's revolt (7/77-1/74), gained fame for mediating the contention surrounding Alderaan's Ascencion, deciding in favor of the House of Organa (11/70) and similarly mediated (along with his fellow Jedi Master Tra's M'ins) the Duinuogwuin-Gotal war (1/68-4/66). He then became Ambassador-at-large to the Xappyh sector (8/21/62); while Ambassador-at-large, he was crucial in supporting the Outbound Flight Project, going so far as to become one of the six Jedi Masters who went with it whe it departed Yaga Minor (4/1/64).

The Outbound Flight Project never returned- it is recorded in his secret archives that the then Senator Palpatine dispatched elements of his private army to destroy it and especially the six Jedi Masters on board. However, they were intercepted by a Chiss patrol beyond the Outer Rim, and annihilated. Palpatine's advisor somehow escaped, and presuaded the patrol's commander, the future Grand Admiral Thrawn, to launch a pre-emptive attack on the Outbound Flight Project - an action utterly against Chiss morality which would directly lead to Thrawn's exile to the Outer Rim and his 'discovery' by the Empire. Needless to say, the Outbound Flight project was destroyed.

Joruus C'Baoth (clone)
It is believed that a tissue sample was procured from Jorus C'Baoth during his tenure as Senator Palpatine's personal Jedi advisor (6/79-5/77) (it has been conjectured that the Outbound Flight Project itself, since it was first proposed after C'Baoth's period as advisor, was a personal project of Palpatine himself, intended to eliminate easily some Jedi Masters and discourage exploration; but this can be neither proven nor disproven) prior to Anakin Skywalker's appointment to that position. Sometime after Palpatine procured his Spaarti cylinders early in the Clone Wars, several clones were grown from that tissue sample. Cloning techniques, and especially techniques early in the war or techniques intended to rapidly grow clones, tended to produce clones that were spectacularly mentally unstable- the Joruus C'Baoth clones would prove to be no exception (It should be noted that the clones in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones did not manifest these problems as they were grown slowly, over a number of years). Only one clone would have a command of the Force comparable to the original, and be mentally stable enough that Palpatine would twist it into a Dark Jedi and entrust to him the responsibility of guarding the Mt. Tantiss storehouse on the planet Wayland.

This at least, is the most probable story; the sequence of events that Coruscant's archives and Thrawn's researches lead one to believe; there seems little reason to believe the later, mad Joruus C'Baoth's assertions that he killed the Dark Jedi guardian of Wayland himself and took over, as this account offers no explanation of whom cloned him, or why.

In any case, several years after the Battle of Endor, when Grand Admiral Thrawn finally tracked down the location of the Emperor's private storehouse (the Mt. Tantiss facility), intending to use the cloaking shield and the Spaarti cylinders there to prosecute his war against the New Republic, he discovered that Joruus C'Baoth had gone completely insane- only the Grand Admiral's ysalamiri precautions saved him from the death that had found all previous off-worlders since the death of the Emperor. Thrawn managed to enlist the mad dark Jedi Master into his cause by promising him Luke Skywalker and his sister, as well as his sister's twins to be his to mold to whatever his whims desired.

Drawing deeply on the Dark Side, and honing his skills at Battle Meditation, C'Baoth greatly increased the efficacy of Thrawn's forces, and he could use his mastery of the Force to pentrate cloaking shields, rendering them of practical use, or for devastating precision timed attacks. That same mastery of the Force alerted him when Luke and Mara Jade plotted the destruction of Mt. Tantiss- he was there and ready for them. Thrawn had ordered him imprisoned in the Royal Chambers of Mt. Tantiss due to his realization that the clone was both too powerful, power-hungry, and unstable to be safely used any longer, but the clone had outthought even Thrawn- en route to Wayland, he corrupted the minds of the reinforcements for the garrison. Those reinforcements planted explosives on the yslaamiri within Mt. Tantiss, the very yslaamiri that were making it possible to grow clones in a score of days rather than months, and incidentally, blocking C'Baoth's powers. When they distracted the garrison after their sabotage, C'Baoth prophecied that Jade and Skywalker would infiltrate the warehouse and come to the throne room where he awaited them.

Detonating the explosives and restoring his dark power, C'Baoth made a second attempt at turning Skywalker, but like his first on the plant Jomark, this one too would fail. After a brutal prolonged fight, during which Luke Skywalker killed a clone of himself C'Baoth had ordered grown (Luuke Skywalker) form the hand lost on Bespin, Joruus C'Baoth was slain by a kneeling Mara Jade, and detonated in an explosion of blue Dark Side energy.
