Tarfful/Legends

Tarfful was a Wookiee Chieftain that fought in the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars.

Military life
As leader of the city of Kachirho, he oversaw the battle on a high observation deck alongside Chewbacca, his old friend, and Jedi Master Yoda.

He had good relations with Yoda and was behind him for the entirety of the battle. Tarfful, while not a general, carefully planned out the placement of troops and warriors with Jedi Masters Luminara Unduli and Quinlan Vos. Vos also led the charge with both he and Chewie.

When the clone troopers turned on the Jedi, Tarfful and Chewbacca helped Yoda to an escape pod. Interestingly enough, it was clone commandos that saved him from Trandoshan slavers before the battle.

A few months later, Tarfful was around when a group of six Jedi who had escaped Order 66, led by Olee Starstone, came to Kashyyyk, looking for any of the three Jedi that had been there when Order 66 had been issued. Tarfful fought in the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Great Jedi Purge but he was rounded up by the Empire and became a slave, destined to help build the Death Star. Later, his companion Chewbacca would rescue him from bondage.
