Dama Lenuke

Dama Lenuke was a Zabrak Jedi Master during the time of the Clone Wars.

Early life
Lenuke was found to be Force-sensitive at the age of three by Jedi Master Syfo-Dyas. Dyas took Lenuke to the Jedi Council, where he became inducted into the Jedi order.

Apprenticeship
Lenuke was trained by Syfo-Dyas, beginning at age eleven. Dyas training him in the lightsaber forms Makashi and Djem-So, and by extension of the latter, Shien. He was also taught mind tricks and other mental powers. He passed all five trials within the temple training programs.

First Apprentice
Lenuke's first apprentice, the Duinuogwuin Ord Ganot, perished at the age of three hundred. Lenuke and Ganot were on the planet Huk during the Kaleesh/Huk war. Ganot, who was commanding the space battle outside of a craft due to the fact that he could survive in vacuum, recieved a turbolaser bolt to the chest. Five hundred miles distant, the Geonosian battle cruiser that fired the bolt silently slipped into hyperspace.

Second Apprentice
Lenuke's second apprentice, the female Mirialan Jaeyd Shadoh, successfully made it to knighthood. She took an apprentice of her own, a Leperchaun named Iggleseth Menephestomone. She and Menephestomone survived the Clone Wars, only to fall during the Great Jedi Purge.

Third Apprentice
Lenuke's third apprentice, a male shapeshifter named Jolee Merome, would be his last. Lenuke and Merome went on a mission to Battle of Devaron (Gnost-Dural)/lead the forces on Devaron. He, Merome, and two hundred of their troops were taking shelter in a canyon when a batallion of battle droids arrived. Fire from the two tanks made short work of the troops, while Lenuke and Merome charged into battle. Lenuke went down when a blaster bolt hit him in the right upper portion of his chest. A shot to the head ended his life.
