Tru Veld

Tru Veld was the Padawan of Jedi Master Ry-Gaul before the Clone Wars. Tru was a Teevan from the planet of Teevan. His skin had a silvery cast. Veld was tall, lanky, exceptionally flexible and could bend in surprising ways. It was this quality that made him good at fighting. He usually fought with his left hand.

Biography


Tru was a good friend of Anakin Skywalker. He and Anakin, along with their Masters, were sent on a number of missions together to worlds such as Radnor, Euceron, and Korriban. Tru ended his friendship with Anakin after a fellow Padawan, Darra Thel-Tanis, died during the mission to Korriban, which was partially Anakin's fault.

Tru Veld was most likely killed in the Great Jedi Purge. He was stationed at the Temple collecting and compiling very important information. His lightsaber, like that of many Jedi, was placed in a bottom-level storage area of the Jedi Temple by the Galactic Empire. This was part of a trap to attract other Jedi survivors who were lured into believing that the area was a prison for captured Jedi.

Following Order 66, Tru was on Coruscant and he was tracked by CSF, who called in assistance from the 501st Legion to take him out.
