Jai Maruk

Jai Maruk was a male Jedi Master during the Clone Wars. After returing from a costly mission on Vjun, Jai was allowed to return to Coruscant by Count Dooku in order to lure Master Yoda into a trap, a trap that Jai did not know about. When in the dining hall of the Jedi Temple Jai expressed his feelings about how one certain youngling should be sent the the Jedi's Agriculture Corps because of her apparent lack of the Force. Master Yoda made a bet with Master Maruk, that if this youngling were to win the fighting competion he would have to take her as his Padawan learner. After watching Tallisibeth Ewandung-Esterhazy defeat all other competition, Jai hesitently took her as his Padawan.

On a secret return mission to Vjun to confront Count Dooku, Master Maruk, Master Yoda, Master Maks Leem, Scout and Whie were attacked by Asajj Ventress. In a hard fought lightsaber duel which nearly caused Jai to turn to the Dark Side of the Force, Jai Maruk was slain by Asajj Ventress along with Maks Leem. His Padawan clammered to his side and begged him not to leave her, and with his last breath he told her, "Never...my Padawan."
