- "Through the Force, a Jedi can endure even the most debilitating pain. Remember the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Master Crucitorn fought on even after being immolated by the Flame-Wielders."
- ―Dooku to Qui-Gon Jinn
Crucitorn[3] was a Jedi Master who served in the Jedi Order. During the Battle of Nar Shaddaa,[2] that took place before 68 BBY,[1] between the Order and the Flame-Wielders, Crucitorn became immolated by the latter, but managed to endure the pain and fight back.[2] Around 68 BBY,[1] Jedi Master Dooku cited Crucitorn's battle as an example when demonstrating pain endurance to his Padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn.[2]
Dooku later told his sister, Jenza, about his conversation with Jinn in a holo-letter.[2] Around 23 BBY,[4] Dooku gave several data disks containing his messages to Jenza to his recently recruited Sith assassin—Asajj Ventress—for her investigation into his sister's location, and she listened to the holo-disk that mentioned Crucitorn.[2]
