Tyneir Renz

Tyneir Renz was a male Human Jedi Knight around the time of the Clone Wars. He survived the Great Jedi Purge and later became a member of the Rebel Alliance.

Biography
A native of the planet of Jiaan, Tyneir was a Colonel in the Galactic Republic military and also served in the Clone Wars. He served in the Battle of Parein II 4 during which he faced a fierce frontal assault led by General Grievous, mounted on his wheel bike.

However, the military was not the central focus of Tyneir's life. Tyneir was a husband and the father of two children as well: a son, and a daughter named Padija. Additionally, Tyneir was a student of archaeology and anthropology and greatly enjoyed studying ancient history.

However, when Emperor Palpatine took control of the Galaxy, Tyneir was forced to leave his family behind to elude capture. Unfortunately, as a result, Jiann was overrun by the Empire and devastated, claiming his wife and son's life in the process. Luckily however, Tyneir was able to make it back to Jiann in time to save his daughter. Realizing that with his status as a Jedi Knight and Imperial agents looking for him, his daughter was not safe, and as a result, sent her to Alderaan to live with his wife's family.

There, Padija grew into a young woman and eventually attended the University of Alderaan, studying her father's passion: archaeology. In the years that followed, Tyneir eventually joined the Rebel Alliance, and only through the will of the Force, met up with his daughter as Rebel field operatives. Reunited, Tyneir and Padija journeyed the Galaxy, seeking out relics that had been stolen by the Empire.

Tyneir still carried his lightsaber, which he used to protect his daughter; they were forced to part once before, and Tyneir would do all that was possible to prevent that from happening again. On one such occasion, Tyneir and Padija recovered crystallite skulls belonging to the Nercathi clan, a clan of Twi'leks that soon favored the Alliance due to Tyneir and Padija's work in recovering the skulls for them. Tyneir was injured in the acquisition however, but soon recovered to carry on the fight against the Empire. His final fate is unknown.
