Pu-Tai Bud

"It's always good to have a backup weapon..."

Pu-Tai Bud was a hermit Jedi Consular who's lived in the jungles of a neutral planet during the Rise of the Empire era. He was found, and saved from Imperial forces, by Mus Plan, and joined her on her journey.

Early life
Born on Dantooine, he was trained by the local Jedi in the ways of Consular.

Career
At some point he reached the ranks of Knight and Master. He strongly opposed the Clone Wars as he felt that they would destroy the Republic and the Jedi. As soon as he had learnt of Order 66, he went into hiding on a neutral planet. He was later found by Mus Plan, a young Jedi Sentinel, who was also a survivor. They've teamed up and, in time, found Lazarus, who revealed himself to be a Sith Lord. Lazarus proposed an alliance to stop Darth Sidious, but he requested that Mus and Pu-Tai stopped a rival Sith Lord - Darth Ayn - and his organization, on Taris. Once they've tracked down Ayn, and fought him, they've gone back to Darth Lazarus, who betrayed and imprisoned them.

Death
Once they've returned to Darth Lazarus' lair, they fell into Lazarus' trap. Pu-Tai was tortured and killed.

Post-mortem
He helped Mus Plan and the Mishu brothers eliminate a rogue Sith group on Taris, and taught Mus many things, which made her into a great Jedi.

Personality and traits
He was a fun-loving person, with a sense of humor. Despite his excessive body weight and lack of personal hygiene, he was very agile and had a strong immunity.

Powers and abilities
As a Jedi Consular, Pu-Tai was strong in the Force. It was this that allowed him to perceive that joining the Clone Wars would lead to the death of the Republic and the Jedi Order. During his time in hiding, he's become a master of lightsaber combat. His lack of personal hygiene gave him an immunity to diseases. Since he wielded two lighsabers, his favored form was Form VI, which he favored for "Being more comfortable".
