Unidentified Jedi Knight (Clone Wars)

A Jedi Knight served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, serving as a General within the Grand Army of the Republic.

A Force-sensitive, this individual was discovered by the Jedi Order sometime prior to 22 BBY and was trained in the ways of the Force. The Initiate, who had earned distinction as a promising student, proved their comprehension of the Jedi Code, self-discipline via meditation and lightsaber combat, and their strong attunement to the flow of the Force, passing the Initiate Trials. The apprentice gained the attention of a Master and was selected as a Padawan student.

At about this time, the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) had united against the Republic, and the Jedi had no choice but to fight in the conflict, and like all apprentices the Padawan was given the rank of Jedi Commander. In the war room of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Padawan convened with famed Jedi Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Plo Koon and Ahsoka Tano, along with clone marshal commander CC-2224 and astromech droid R2-D2. They welcomed the Padawan formally into the Jedi Order, and Windu presented them their first lightsaber.

Fighting in many early battles such as the campaign on Iceberg Three, the conflict on Umbara, the battle for Ryloth, the skirmish on Carlac and the second battle of Geonosis, the Padawan was made a Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council and given the rank of General.
