Anise I'Zak was a female Human Jedi Knight serving the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.

Biography
Discovered by the Jedi Order at an early age and identified as Force-sensitive, Anise I'Zak was taken to the Coruscant Jedi Temple for training in the ways of the Force. While in the Temple academy, many of her mentors and teachers believed that she would not progress far in the training due to her tendencies to misbehave. However, I'Zak managed to control herself and graduate from the academy, being selected by a Jedi Master for further training as a Padawan. During her training, the Separatist Crisis that plagued the Galactic Republic erupted into open conflict known as the Clone Wars, necessitating an increase in the number of active Jedi Knights. After a vote by the Jedi High Council, the Order accelerated the knighting of several Padawans, including I'Zak and Anakin Skywalker.

Soon after her Knighting, Jedi I'Zak given the rank of General within the Grand Army of the Republic and was dispatched to the planet Hitaka where she served under Councilor Ki-Adi-Mundi and Master Aayla Secura. During the fighting there, I'Zak was tasked with smuggling a top-secret canister across enemy lines to the Republic camp on the east-side of the world. As she made the trek, I'Zak was attacked by the droids of the Separatist Army, though she was able to defeat them before coming across a besieged village. Unable to leave the villagers to be slaughtered by droidekas, Jedi I'Zak rallied the villagers to her side and together destroyed the invading droids. However, as the last droid was destroyed, it managed to let off a single blasterbolt which pierced the canister she carried. Enraged, I'Zak let loose on a patrol of B2 battle droids, destroying them all through her anger. Returning to her camp in defeat, Masters Mundi and Secura informed her that she had indeed help win the conflict. The canister drop had in actuality been a diversion to draw the droid army away from the Masters' true target. The battle won, I'Zak returned to Coruscant to accept her next mission.
