Harro Kelpura

"Master Fisto told me you've been studying the escape pod that&mdash;''" "Oh, but you must see'' it to appreciate what I've learned. I had to move the pod to my new research laboratory away from the Temple as a safety precaution, but there's really nothing to worry about. Except perhaps the discovery of a lifetime!"

- Kelpura to Kungurama

Jedi Master Harro Kelpura was an Anx male and a scholar who was eager about his work. During the time of the Clone Wars, a galactic-spanning conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Master Kelpura was assigned to investigate an alien escape pod which had been discovered twelve years earlier. The Jedi Nuru Kungurama had been found onboard the pod. In 21 BBY, Kungurama met Kelpura at the Senate Building and departed for the Jedi Temple. En route, Kelpura received a notification that his lab in the Dacho District had been broken into, and they changed course to the lab. Once they arrived, they saw that a Corona-class transport used by Kungurama's missing master, Ring-Sol Ambase, had gotten there first. Kungurama's freighter crashed after dropship belonging to a bounty hunter assisting Ambase impacted it. Kelpura was knocked unconscious in the crash, while Kungurama went to confront his master. After the confrontation ended, Kelpura and Ambase were sent to the Jedi Temple medical center.

Personality and traits
