Kento Nion (AU)

"It appears to be obvious that you are doing your best, Chancellor. It is not your fault that the Trade Federation is forming. I sense something more dark behind all of this"

Kento Nion was a skilled fighter during the Yinchorri Uprising. He was also skilled before that. After his work in the Mandalorian Civil War, he was granted the rank of Master and a seat on the Jedi Council.

Death
During the last parts of the Yinchorri Uprising, Nion was able to discover the identity of Darth Sidious but did not survive an incounter against the Sith Lord in 33 BBY because he had been impaled during the fight. When reports came out about Nion's death Senator Palpatine stated that Kento Nion was assasined by Mandalorian mercenaries who killed Nion with his own lightsaber. The Jedi Council sensed a disturbance in the force, but did not discover Darth Sidious until one year later. His spot on the council was replaced by Eeth Koth.
