Kit Fisto (Powerstaark)

Kit Fisto was a Nautolan Jedi Master who served on the Jedi Council during the Clone Wars. He trained two Mon Calamari Padawans in his career, Nahdar Vebb and Bant Eerin. Fisto had a romantic relationship with Aayla Secura and was a skilled Jedi who survived encounters with Asajj Ventress and General Grievous during the Clone Wars.

Early life
Kit Fisto was born on Glee Anselm and taken to the Jedi Order after being identified as Force sensitive. He was trained by Grand Master Yoda both as a youngling and as a Padawan.

As a young Jedi Knight Fisto took Bant Eerin as his padawan after her first master Tahl was killed. During the decade before the Clone Wars he trained Nahdar Vebb. Ironically both of his Padawans were Mon Calamari though Nahdar was male and Bant was female. During Nahdar's training Kit came up with a unique Force technique called Force Water Orb and with Nahdar's help he perfected the power allowing him to form a ball of air underwater and hurl it at opponents.

Battle of Geonosis
Kit and Nahdar were both present in the Petranaki arena on Geonosis when Mace Windu took a Jedi strike team to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Padme Armidala from Count Dooku. Fisto and Nahdar fought bravely but Nahdar was shot by a droideka and presumed dead. Kit was picked up by a clone gunship when Yoda arrived with the new Grand Army of the Republic, and led the new clone troopers into battle. At the end of the battle Nahdar found his way back to his Master having used the Force to heal his wounds.

After the battle of Geonosis Kit believed Nahdar was ready to take the trials and become a Jedi Knight.

Skirmish on Kamino
About three weeks after the battle of Geonosis Kit fought in the Battle of Kamino along with Aayla Secura, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Shaak Ti. The battle was being coordinated by Oppo Rancisis who used his mastery of Battle Meditation to help the Republic win the battle.

After the battle Kit remained on the planet with Aayla. One day the Jedi found several dead clone troopers. After examination by the Kaminoan scientists, they concluded that the troopers were infected by a nano-virus. After visiting the master cloner Sayn Ta, they stated that there was a Kaminoan traitor in the facility. Fisto and Secura traced the traitor and faced off against a group of super battle droids, which were given to the traitor by the Separatists.

In the resulting skirmish, Secura was thrown off the platform and dragged down into the water by one of the battle droids. Kit quickly jumped after her and, being amphibious, breathed for the both of them, although it was more than "breathing for both of them" to Aayla and Fisto. Aayla then climbed up the platform and was grabbed by the traitor, with the nano-virus injector pointed to her arm. Aayla saved herself with great timing and pushed the injector into the traitor's own arm. The Kaminoan died instantly.[10]

Fisto's saving of Aayla started a relationship between the two that pushed the limits of the Jedi Code.

Battle of Dac
Six weeks following the Battle of Geonosis Kit fought underwater in the Battle of Dac leading a team of clone SCUBA troopers in battle against the Separatist-allied Quarren Isolation League. The fact that Fisto could breathe underwater and his lightsaber could still operate underwater was very useful during the battle and Fisto also displayed his mastery of the Force Water Orb technique using it along with his Shii-Cho mastery to destroy a Quarren crab cannon almost single handedly.

After the battle Fisto returned to Coruscant where he discovered that Aayla Secura had been badly injured in a duel with the new leader of the droid army General Grievous. Kit still had romantic feelings for Aayla and was beside her bed when she woke up, expressing his relief that she was alive with a quick kiss.

Mission on Ord Cestus
During the height of the Clone Wars, Fisto became the first to fight and defeat a new type of droid that was given the name "Jedi Killer." These droids were known for their unmatched combat abilities after demonstrating their power on an ARC trooper, designated CT-36/732, and nicknamed Sirty. Accompanying Fisto was Obi-Wan Kenobi, ARC trooper "Nate," four clone troopers, and barrister Doolb Snoil, who was a representative of the Galactic Senate. They traveled to the planet Ord Cestus in order to negotiate an agreement that would sell the "bio-droids" to the Republic; however, the plan soon became to recruit guerrillas to fight in a possible coup against the government. Fisto went by the false name of "Nemonus", a Dark Jedi, to trick the Five Families, whom the Jedi discovered to have complete control over the planet.

Near the end of the mission Kit duelled the Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress. His lightsabers skills allowed him to hold his own against Ventress but he wasn't powerful enough to defeat her and was wounded on the arm. He was saved from being killed by Obi-Wan who duelled the Dark Jedi himself but would have been killed if the near-unconscious Fisto had not quickly returned the favor.

Shortly after this Kit joined the Jedi Council, replacing the deceased Jedi Master Coleman Trebor.

Personality and traits
Kit Fisto was usually a cheerful, good natured Jedi who was famous for smiling widely when things went his way. He was popular among the younglings who considered him to be one of the less "intimidating" Jedi Masters and had a good sense of humour. Fisto was very humble and didn't feel he was skilled enough to get on the Jedi Council though he got a seat eventually anyway. In addition Kit had some doubts about his teaching skills but despite this he was a good teacher, successfully training Nahdar Vebb and Bant Eerin.

Despite his radical combat style, and easy-going nature, Kit was surprisingly conservative on the matter of galactic politics.

Though Kit was dedicated to the Jedi Order he had romantic feelings for the Twi'lek Jedi Aayla Secura and these feelings stayed with him through the Clone Wars. This originated from when he saved her life on Kamino. Kit was worried about Aayla after she was badly injured in a duel with Grievous and Aayla later comforted him about the death of Nahdar Vebb.

Powers and abilities
Kit Fisto was trained as a Jedi Consular and therefore focused mainly on his Force powers. After experimenting with water currents and discovering that by using the Force they could be used for offensive purposes, Kit invented a new Force power which he called 'Force Water Orb'. This technique consisted of using the Force to manipulate water currents and form them into a ball of air which could be hurled at the opponents. The pressure of the air in the orbs allowed it to smash through mechanical devices such as the Quarren crab cannon on Dac with little effort. However a disadvantage of this power was that it could only be used while underwater or while it was raining heavily.

In addition to inventing a useful new Force power, Fisto was skilled at using the Force to speed up his movements and on Ord Cestus his Force enhanced speed baffled even Obi-Wan Kenobi's experienced gaze.

In addition to being a talented Force user Kit was a skilled lightsaber duellist and a master of Shii-Cho. Fisto's Shii-Cho mastery was sometimes considered to be the best in the Jedi Order and he was able to hold his ground against Asajj Ventress on Ord Cestus and General Grievous on the third moon of Vassek. Kit also displayed impressive skill in Jar'Kai while duelling Grievous on Vassek and almost defeated the cyborg before being forced to retreat by Grievous' magnaguards.

Kit was an excellent swimmer and his lightsaber contained two crystals employing a bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse that allowed the blade to operate underwater. Because he was a Nautolan Kit had the ability to breathe underwater. In addition he possessed an acute olfactory sense, allowing him to read the emotions of other sentients.
