Keelyvine Reus

"I don't sense any danger here.''" "The danger you can't sense is the most deadly, Master Fisto." "Succinct. Was that one of Yoda's?" "''No, it's one of mine."

- Kit Fisto and Keelyvine Reus

Keelyvine Reus was a female Jedi General during the Clone Wars. Dressed in green robes, she carried dual green lightsabers.

Clone Wars
Shortly after the Battle of Devaron and the death of Tyzen Xebec's former master, Bolla Ropal, Reus was assigned as the Padawan's new Jedi Master.

Later, she accompanied Master Kit Fisto of the Jedi High Council aboard a Venator-class Star Destroyer to the Ukio system. When Fisto declared that he sensed no danger, to which Reus disagreed. When a clone officer informed her that the Jedi Temple was contacting them with intelligence updates, she ordered him to contact Commander Ganch to bring Xebec to the bridge. Fisto suggested that she contact Xebec through the Force, but she shot him a cold look in response.

After Padawan Xebec joined them, Reus commenced the meeting, pointedly telling Master Obi-Wan Kenobi that it would not happen again. Kenobi and Master Mace Windu informed them of the situation on Ukio -- that the Ukians had tried to secede prior to the outbreak of the war, but Master Yoda had prevented this. The citizenry was divided on secession, and the Jedi feared that the Separatists would exploit the situation. When Xebec asked why the Confederacy of Independent Systems would want an agriworld, Reus pointed out it was precisely because the Republic needed it to feed their army. They were assigned to protect the world and to assess its defenses. After she assigned Xebec to go planet side and report on the planetary defenses, he wordlessly sulked away. Fisto pointed out that she was "literally grounding him", and she confessed that she found Xebec too reckless and unfocused. She professed that there were over 700 guides to training Padawans in the Jedi Archives, but Fisto advised her to reach out with her feelings and connect with her Padawan as she would connect with the Force.

Later that day, the Ukian satellite network detected a Lucrehulk-class battleship over the horizon, and transmitted the data to the Republic fleet. Reus found the presence of only one ship to be suspicious, and took Fisto with her aboard their starfighters to get a closer look. Instead of droids or fighters, the battleship deployed a number of modified seismic tanks, which then hovered over the atmosphere of the planet and began to release black clouds of an unknown substance. She and Fisto engaged the tanks, but Reus realized that destroying them wouldn't stop the release of the substance.

Upon returning to their ship, Captain McQuarrie reported their analysis of the substance as being soil from the badlands of Moorja, which would cling to the planet's shields and follow the path of the sun, effectively blocking it out. They communicated their findings to Liege on the planet below, who soon determined they should drop their shields, since this attack would completely ruin their economy. Though Commander Ganch disagreed, Reus and McQuarrie determined that were the shields to drop, the winds would simply dissipate the soil and cause no damage. Reus ordered Liege to drop the shields over the afflicted area, but to give herself and the fleet time to close in on the Separatist ships.

Personality and traits
Keelyvine Reus was hardened Jedi, seeming humorless and cold. She had a tense relationship with her new Padawan and found him to be reckless and unable to focus. Regardless, she cared about his well-being, and sought to have a better connection with him. She and Kit Fisto had become friends, and she confided in him her troubles with teaching Xebec.
