Tera Sinube/Legends

The venerable Tera Sinube was a male Cosian who served the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars as a Master within the Jedi Order. Sinube had an intimate knowledge of the workings of Coruscant's criminal underworld, and was regarded as an expert on the subject. In 22 BBY, Master Sinube's services were called upon by the Togruta Padawan Ahsoka Tano, whose lightsaber had recently been stolen from her. He and the young Jedi's pursuit led them all around Coruscant, and they eventually cornered bounty hunter Cassie Cryar on a maglev train with the weapon. Sinube surprised Cryar just as she prepared to exit the train with two hostages, swiftly disarmed her with his own lightsaber before returning the stolen device to its rightful owner, Ahsoka Tano.

Jedi Master
Tera Sinube was an elderly male Cosian Jedi Master living in the years up to and during the conflagration between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems known as the Clone Wars. Master Sinube refrained from battle while many of his fellow Jedi actively participated in the war by leading the Grand Army of the Republic's clone troopers in battle. Instead, he resided on Coruscant and focused his talents on compiling a wealth of knowledge about the intricacies of the galactic capital's criminal underworld. By 22 BBY, Sinube had developed a detailed database which included the biographical information of nearly every criminal on the planet.

Although Sinube abstained from taking a martial position in the Clone Wars, he allowed to participate in the development and implementation of strategy alongside other Masters. The Cosian was present in the Jedi Temple wardroom when General Grievous, supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army, contacted the Jedi and advised them of his capture of Zabrak Master Eeth Koth. Sinube, however, was not selected to join Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Adi Gallia in the subsequent rescue attempt.

Meeting Ahsoka Tano


Following the successful emancipation of Eeth Koth, Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano were on assignment in Coruscant's Slum district G17, during which time Tano's lightsaber was stolen from her. Believing that she could find more information on the pickpocket in the Jedi Temple's archives, Tano went there and requested help from the library's administrator, Jedi Master Jocasta Nu. Nu was unable to assist Tano and instead pointed her in Tera Sinube's direction&mdash;who was also in the library and had fallen asleep at his workstation&mdash;citing the aged Cosian's expertise in Coruscant criminality. After being roused from his slumber, Master Sinube searched his database for a being whom Tano believed was of an aquatic species. Sinube determined that the larcenist intended to sell the stolen weapon and, based on the young Togruta's visual identification, discovered that a Patrolian named Bannamu had lifted the lightsaber from her person. After thanking the Jedi Master, Tano abruptly bid him farewell as she prepared to go after the thief. However, Sinube feared that in her haste, Tano's quest would ultimately end in failure. He decided then to join Tano on her mission, embarking on what would be his first assignment in years.

Personality and traits
Master Sinube was a Jedi of both advanced years and wisdom. He required a cane to support his gnarled frame and moved about at the same measured pace with which he approached every situation. With age came great patience for Sinube, who believed that taking his time allowed him to always see clearly what lay ahead. Indeed, he valued this philosophy highly, and imparted it on the younger and more hasty Ahsoka Tano who in turn shared it with a class of Jedi younglings.
