D'urban Wen-Hurd

D'urban Wen-Hurd was a Tholothian Jedi Knight who served the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems. She was promoted to the rank at a mass Knighting Ceremony held at the Jedi Temple several weeks after the beginning of the war alongside a cohort of other Knights including Anakin Skywalker, Keer Stenwyt, Olana Chion, and Cyruss Okent. During her training as a Padawan, Wen-Hurd had been notable for her skills in dual-wielding twin shoto lightsabers.

After her knighting, which was overshadowed by news of a bombing on the neutral planet Cato Neimoidia, Wen-Hurd's first mission, which she co-led alongside Skywalker, was to deliver much-needed aid supplies to Langston, a planet recovering from a recent Separatist attack. The two Jedi Knights were accompanied by the 302nd Battalion of clone troopers and, at the personal request of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, five Jedi younglings so that the children could become accustomed to being around the clones if the war was to drag on.

Initially taking the lead with Clone Commander Theo, Wen-Hurd also shared babysitting duties with Skywalker. During their journey, Skywalker befriended the conflicted Initiate Mill Alibeth. After the group reached Langston and began their mission, Skywalker discovered that his former Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, had gotten into trouble while investigating the cause of the Cato Neimoidia bombing. Skywalker, Alibeth, and the astromech droid R2-D2 thus slipped off to rescue Kenobi without informing Wen-Hurd, who subsequently reported Skywalker's disappearance to Master Mace Windu.
