"Safety is a flexible concept."

―Cin Drallig, to Sammo Quid

Cin Drallig was a Force-sensitive human male Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order as Battlemaster and Chief of Security of the Jedi Temple during the Clone Wars. He was the head of the Jedi Temple Guard and a lightsaber instructor who was disrespectfully nicknamed "the Troll" by members of the Jedi. Drallig was killed by Darth Vader during his attack on the Jedi Temple.

Biography

Early life

Early in his life, Cin Drallig, a Force-sensitive human male, was personally trained as a Padawan by the Jedi High Council's Grand Master Yoda. Drallig eventually became the Jedi Order's finest master swordsman. Drallig rose to the rank of Jedi Master and led the Jedi Temple Guard during the Clone Wars. As a Master, he was a teacher of lightsaber combat who passed his skills onto new generations of Jedi, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. He earned the unflattering nickname "the Troll" from other members of the Jedi Order.

The Clone Wars

Guarding the Temple

"Stay with them. Keep an eye out for those mini-drone explosives."
"Yes, Master Drallig."

―Cin Drallig orders Jedi Temple Guards to stay with a group of younglings

Drallig guards the Jedi Temple during a rally.

In 21 BBY, Cad Bane managed to slip past Drallig and the Temple's security forces using specialized technology and his intelligence and managed to slip into the Holocron Vault. A Jedi holocron was stolen.

During the Clone Wars, the Jedi Temple was bombed by Padawan Barriss Offee. Before the perpetrator had been caught, the Jedi led an investigation to determine who was behind the attack. Skywalker approached Drallig, who was standing guard with the Temple Guard at the gates of the Jedi Temple, where protesters were demonstrating against the war and the Jedi Order's involvement in it. Skywalker showed Drallig a holographic image of their then-suspect, Jackar Bowmani, and asked the Jedi Master to be on alert for him. This led to the suspect's wife, Letta Turmond, being taken into custody after spotting the holographic image, and the Jedi ultimately learned that Turmond was part of the plot to attack the Jedi Temple.

Drallig defends younglings from Separatist explosives

The Temple was later attacked by Captain Rackham Sear of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the attack, Drallig led two Temple Guards in securing the quarters of the Jedi younglings. He arrived just in time to cut a small explosive drone in half before it detonated in a room with several younglings. He ordered the guards to stay with the younglings and destroy any more explosives that entered the area. Drallig then joined Masters Mace Windu and Kenobi, reporting to them that the younglings were safe, but that there were explosions throughout the Temple and that the source was unknown. Master Depa Billaba and Initiate Caleb Dume ended the attack by confronting Sear on the roof of the Temple, where he committed suicide by leaping off the building.

Fall of the Jedi Temple

Drallig dueled Darth Vader alongside Padawans Whie and Bene.

At the end of the war, Skywalker turned to the dark side of the Force and became Darth Vader, apprentice to Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith. Vader attacked the Jedi Temple with the 501st Legion of clone troopers, while Sidious issued Order 66 to force the clones to turn against the Jedi Order. Drallig fought to defend the Jedi Temple alongside Padawans Whie Malreaux and Bene. The three Jedi were eventually confronted and slain in lightsaber combat by Darth Vader.

Legacy

Shortly following Drallig's death, Masters Yoda and Kenobi returned to the Temple, where they witnessed a security hologram recording depicting Drallig's final moments dueling Darth Vader alongside Padawans Bene and Whie.

Sometime after his death, the holocron of Cin Drallig was sold in an auction on Denon to the noble Rin Praji, who had the holocron safekeeped at his estate on Kaikielius.
