Belg Kiybo

Belg Kiybo was a Miraluka Jedi Shadow who ascended to become a Shadowmaster.

Appearance and character
Kiybo was tall, very gaunt and pale in complexion. As a typical Miraluka, he had no eyes, and always wore small black round glasses (most polite Miraluka wear some kind of eyewear to conceal their species trait, which most Humans find discomforting). While in the Jedi Temple, he wore typical Jedi Shadow robes, however, during undercover missions he preferred to dress like a low level bureaucrat or civil servant, sticking to long coats and suits.

Kiybo was very serious and stern, even grim. Rina Ascura described her master such: "He always looked at me as if he tried hard to be warm and friendly, but forgotten how it was supposed to look a long time ago".

Career
Kiybo's early career went during the time when the threat of the Dark Side wasn't taken seriously by either the Republic or the Jedi. During that time, Kiybo preferred to stay unknown, and let his master, Ano Werdo, stay the public face of the Jedi Shadows and take riducule and disbelief.

In 32 BBY, he and Werdo conducted the first critical investigation of the Quarantine Case, during which the identity of Darth Plagueis was uncovered and his body found; Kiybo was the investigator who actually found the body and identified it as Plagueis. Very soon after, Werdo was assassinated and Kiybo took his place as Shadowmaster.

During Kiybo's tenure, the Jedi Order actually recognized the Sith as a credible threat; and the Jedi Shadow service was revitalized under Kiybo. The number of the Shadows swelled, new investigations were started and, most importantly, the case opened by Werdo on Plagueis and Sidious, named the "Quarantine Case" by him, was continued.

Being a shrewd investigator, and commanding the newfound trust of the Jedi Masters, Kiybo posed an even more fearsome hazard to Darth Sidious than Werdo ever did. Kiybo survived several assassination attempts by various parties manipulated by Palpatine, until one day, a week before the Clone Wars started, he was successfully assassinated. His successor was the uncharismatic, weak-minded bureaucrat Bodo Pius, who served as an assistant to both Werdo and Kiybo. Pius was easily manipulable by Palpatine, and Palpatine's wish was to prevent another capable and gifted Jedi Shadow from taking the mantle of the Shadowmaster. Thus, the much more promising candidate Rina Ascura was blamed for Kiybo's murder and reassigned to Lola Sayu to serve as the commander of the Citadel.

Apprentices
Belg Kiybo had two apprentices, Maw and Rina Ascura.

Lightsaber
As a Jedi Sentinel, Belg Kiybo carried a yellow lightsaber. It was a thin curved hilt design resembling a fencing foil.
