190. Ki-Adi-Mundi


Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Cerean Jedi Master and member of the Jedi High Council in the twilight years of the Galactic Republic. Hailing from the planet of Cerea, Mundi was granted the rare exception of being allowed to marry so that he could adhere to Cerean polygamous customs to accommodate for the species' low birthrate.
After being discovered by the mysterious Dark Woman at four years of age, Mundi was older than most when he was accepted into the Jedi Order. The Cerean eventually came under the tutelage of Grand Master Yoda and ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight. As a Knight, Mundi became watchman of the sector in which his homeworld resided.
Later, after becoming a Jedi Master, Mundi was granted a seat on the Jedi Council and was considered among the august body's upper tier along with Masters Yoda and Mace Windu. With the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Master Mundi was forced to take the title of General and take part in the fighting. He survived to the last days of the war and led an attack on Mygeeto, only being gunned down by his own troopers after the issuing of the treacherous Order 66 that largely destroyed the Order.
