Harro Kelpura (Jedi Renaissance)

"Master Fisto told me you've been studying the escape pod that&mdash;''" "Oh, but you must see'' it to appreciate what I've learned. I had to move the pod to my new research laboratory away from the Temple as a safety precaution, but there's really nothing to worry about. Except perhaps the discovery of a lifetime!"

Harro Kelpura was a male Anx Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order during the century leading up to the Clone Wars and later during the Golden Age of the Jedi. An ancient and venerable scholar, Kelpura maintained a laboratory on Coruscant until moving to Ossus in 18 BBY.

- Master Kelpura and Padawan Kungurama meet.

When the Clone Wars, a galactic-spanning conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems threatened to engulf the galaxy, Master Kelpura was assigned to investigate an alien escape pod which had been discovered twelve years earlier. The Jedi Nuru Kungurama had been found onboard the pod, and was assigned to escort the pod to Kelpura's private laboratory on Coruscant to avoid any safety risks the pod might pose the Temple. Later while traveling together from the Senate building, Kungurama and Kelpura received a notification that his lab in the Dacho District had been broken into, and they changed course to the lab. Once they arrived, they saw that a Corona-class transport used by Kungurama's missing master, Ring-Sol Ambase, had gotten there first. Kungurama's freighter crashed after dropship belonging to a bounty hunter assisting Ambase impacted it. Kelpura was knocked unconscious in the crash, while Kungurama went to confront his master. After the confrontation ended, Kelpura and Ambase were sent to the Jedi Temple medical center for treatment.

Powers and abilities
Harro Kelpura received his initial training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, ensuring that he possessed a standard understanding of the Force, and its applications. Having achieved the rank of Knight, Kelpurra was also proficient with a lightsaber, having crafted one himself and imbuing it with a green crystal discovered in the caves of Ilum. Developing his skills as a Consular, Kelpura was a noted scholar, often times found within the analysis wing of the Temple Archives. Studying craft and technology of alien cultures, Kelpura had assisted the ExplorCorps for years and was highly active even in his later years. When it came to defense, Kelpura preferred to draw his lightsaber only after attempts to overpower his foe with the Force failed; something which did not occur often.
