Terno (Kitonak)

Terno was a Kitonak combat athlete that, during the High Republic Era, participated in rigged fights organized by the Gloovan crime boss Straan Valgar. In 228 BBY, Terno entered a cage match at Valgar's arena on the Port Hunavon space station, wherein he competed against an Askajian male twice his size. Nevertheless, Terno was the favorite in the betting books, but was instructed by Valgar to go down in the third round. As such, when Terno faced the Askajian, he ended up taking a major beating. This upset the empathetic heart of Jedi Master Keeve Trennis, who was in attendance while tracking down Valgar for questioning. She used the Force to shove the Askajian off of Terno and into the laser field, winning the fight for Terno. This led to a fight among the audience and Valgar fleeing from the arena.
