Medon greets Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Tall and gaunt, Tion Medon was a gray-skinned Pau'an who lived on the planet Utapau, and served as the Port Administrator of Pau City.[2] He typically welcomed guests to the sinkhole spaceport and offered them his services.[1]
In the final weeks of the Clone Wars, Medon was forced to accommodate General Grievous and his associates from the Confederacy of Independent Systems in his sanctuary. Members of the Separatist Council used the city as their base of operations around the time following the Battle of Coruscant. Sometime later, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Utapau in search of Grievous. Medon welcomed Kenobi to the spaceport, and discreetly divulged helpful information pertaining to the Separatist presence on the tenth level. Kenobi advised the administrator to help his people find shelter, and to bring the city's warriors to bear on the Separatists. The Jedi was able to seek and destroy Grievous with Medon's help.[3]
Physical appearance and traits
- "Greetings, young Jedi. What brings you to our remote sanctuary?"
- ―Tion Medon, to Obi-Wan Kenobi
Like other Pau'ans, Tion Medon was a tall, gaunt[2] humanoid with lined, gray skin and thin bodies.
