Sifo-Dyas (COD3530)

"Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas is still a leading member of the Jedi Council, is he not?"

- Kamino Prime Minister Lama Su to Obi-Wan Kenobi

Sifo-Dyas (born Goku Kakarot Sifo-Dyas) was a mysterious Jedi Master who served as a member of the Jedi High Council during the last decades of the Galactic Republic. He was a member of the Sifo-Dyas Clan and the son to Gohan Sifo-Dyas. Although his origins and past are the most obscure, with the circumstances of his birth and appearance being a mystery, very few people, such as his good friend of fellow Master Count Dooku knew him personally better than anyone. Sifo-Dyas was known to have had the gift of precognition, and predicted the coming war, and knew the Galactic Republic would soon face dark times.

Sifo-Dyas secretly commissioned a clone army on Kamino, ostensibly to defend the Republic. During his time on Kamino, Sifo-Dyas further foresaw several more future events to come, and realized that the clone army order he had placed with the Kaminoans had been compromised. Upon seeing the future, Sifo-Dyas foresaw Palpatine as the elusive Sith Lord Darth Sidious and his secretive rise to power in the Senate of the Republic to Supreme Chancellor, whose ultimate goal was the transform the Republic into the Galactic Empire with him as Emperor as well as the eradication of the Jedi Order, leading to the Sith Order controlling the Galaxy once again.

Foreseeing that his clone army was compromised, as he knew that Dooku had left the Jedi Order, and had fallen in league with Darth Sidious and planned to use the clone army for their own ends, he again made another secret order, this time with a Kaminoan named Taun We, and arranged a secretive order for the commission of a Force sensitive clone trooper to be created, raised secretly by her, and trained in the art of combat, warfare, and leadership command roles. He then asked Taun We that the clone be named Gohan, after his father, and asked that she'd keep Gohan's creation and origins, a secret between the two of them. Before leaving Kamino for the first and last time, Sifo-Dyas had another vision of the future, and foresaw that Gohan or Delta-3530, would live to have a profoundly impact and long and tumultuous career, that would helped shape the fate of the entire galaxy, and help make a difference.

After a week on Kamino, Sifo-Dyas journeyed to Vohai and placed another order for a clone army with the rogue Kaminoans Hyrm Jin. Sifo-Dyas promised Jin that an associate of his would return a month later, to pay in full for his clone army.

As a final test of his allegiance to the dark side of the Force, Dooku murdered Sifo-Dyas and took control of the project for himself. It was Sidious' true intention to use Sifo-Dyas only as a dead-end cover for Palpatine's order of a clone army.
