Knol Ven'nari was a Bothan female Jedi Master who lived during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. During her time as a Jedi, Ven'nari saved all of Bothan space by repelling Wookiee bandits. She was nicknamed the Fire Eater by her fellow Bothans for her ability to manipulate fire with the Force. Ven'nari eventually was elevated to the rank of Master, although she refused to take a Padawan. Instead, she chose to wander the galaxy and go wherever the Force guided her, and rarely visited the Jedi Temple on the galactic capital Coruscant. Ven'nari grew to be regarded as a legend of the Jedi Order. Four months after the initiation of the Clone Wars, Ven'nari accompanied fellow Jedi Masters Jon Antilles, Nico Diath, Fay, and Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi on a mission to the planet Queyta.

Ven'nari and the team were assigned to infiltrate a mobile Separatist facility that rode on one of Queyta's lava streams, and acquire a sample of the antidote for swamp gas, which the Separatists planned to use against the Grand Army of the Republic's clone troopers. Shortly after Ven'nari and the other Jedi infiltrated the base, they confronted the Separatist agents Asajj Ventress and Durge. Durge shot two Skakoan sentries, which caused them to explode, and Ven'nari used the Force to draw the fire toward her. Ven'nari died shortly afterward due to the extensive burns on her body. Of all the Jedi, only Kenobi survived the mission, successfully recovering the antidote, and returning to the Jedi Temple. A holographic memorial was held at the Jedi Temple in honor of Ven'nari and the other Masters.
