Jorus C'baoth

Jorus C'Baoth was born on the planet Botras in the Reithcas sector. Jorus showed much potential and force aptitude as a young Jedi. At the age of seventeen, he attended the Mirnic University. Upon his graduation he travelled to the Jedi Training Center on Kamparas. After training at the center for two years, a Jedi Master (who remains a mystery) took him on as a private student. Two more years of training would see C'Baoth attain the rank of Jedi Knight. Twelve years later Jorus attained the status of Jedi Master.

Jorus C'Baoth was a firm supporter of the Old Republic, and served it well in a number of ways, most notably as a negotiator and mediator for many of the galaxy's racial conflicts. C'Baoth served as part of a demilitarisation group stationed on Ando, and was a member of the Senate Interspicies Advisory Committee, or SIAC. C'Baoth was part of the Jedi task force that assembled to oppose the dark Jedi uprising on Bpfassh. He helped the Jedi Master Tra's M'ins mediate the Duinuogwuin-Gotal conflict. C'Baoth was a strong supporter of the Old Republic's outbound flight project, to search for intelligent life outside the galaxy proper.

Quite notably, C'Baoth was also the personal advisor of an ambitious young senator Palpatine. When Palpatine readied himself to begin his New Order, he had Jorus cloned shortly before the launch of the Outbound Flight Project. Jorus and the other five Jedi Masters on the Project were killed when their ship was attacked by Thrawn, at the order of Palpatine himself.

The clone was essentially mad, and was assigned to be guardian of an installation on Mount Tantiss, on Wayland. The clone was called Joruus C'Baoth, the name written with an extra character to differentiate between the clone and the original.
