Ikrit

Ikrit was a male Kushiban from the world of Kushibah who was trained as a Jedi by Yoda, and later became a Jedi Master. During his career with the Jedi Order, he discovered a Massassi Temple on Yavin 4 which trapped the souls of many Massassi children. After failing to free them, he went into a self-imposed exile until the person that could free them came to the temple, eventually entering a Jedi Hibernation trance that lasted centuries. By doing this, he avoided all Jedi events for the next four hundred years, including the Clone Wars and the Great Jedi Purge.

During his very lengthy exile on Yavin 4, he met a young Anakin Solo, who originally believed him to be just a pet. After being discovered to be an exiled Jedi Master, Ikrit, Anakin, and Tahiri Veila worked together to solve the puzzle of the Golden Globe, and freed the souls of the trapped Massassi children. After solving the puzzle, Ikrit revealed himself to be a Jedi Master to the rest of the New Jedi Order. He accompanied Anakin and Tahiri on their adventures until the Yuuzhan Vong War, where he sacrificed himself in order to ensure Anakin and Tahiri's escape. He was killed by the Peace Brigade shortly thereafter.
