Liko Eil

Master Liko Eil was a Zabrak Jedi Master and one of very few Jedi to not take any active role in the Clone Wars. A lover of planetary lore, Master Eil had entered more entries in to the Jedi archives than any other Jedi had in history, and he was viewed by many to be one of the most knowledgable Jedi in the Order, even more so than Master Yoda.

Eil was a pacifist through and through, and disliked action in every form. In order to avoid the War, he would often stay in the Jedi Temple to train Younglings in many ways, and became a close friend of Master Yoda because of this.

Early life
Born on Coruscant to a runaway Jedi Knight and a smuggler, Liko was found early on by Master Plo Koon and brought to the Jedi Temple, meaning he was in the Temple from a younger age than most.

As a child, Liko took an interest in the Jedi archives, and became known to Master Yoda as he spent more time there. Liking the idea of a Padawan who disliked violence and preferred Jedi lore, Yoda took Liko as a Padawan. When Liko ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight, Yoda tasked him with filling the archives for lore involving planets, and soon Liko was travelling from one planet to the next, gathering as much data as he could.

Clone Wars
When the Clone Wars started, Liko was on Mygeeto, collecting more data for the planet. However, at the outbreak of war, Liko was captured by the Banking Clan and ransomed, telling the Republic to pull their fleet away from the sector or Liko would tortured and killed. After a lenghty council meeting that lasted six hours and included non-Council members, the Jedi decided to send Jedi Master Jeden Vesal and his Clone squad, Nightingale Squad, to infiltrate Banking Clan territory and rescue Liko before he was killed. During the entire mission, Yoda went to his chambers and didn't leave for two days, not wanting to bare the thought of one of his favourite Padawans being killed... or worse.

Master Vesal and his squad got inside Banking Clan territory and found Liko, trapped in a ray shield. However, General Grevious, a droid/organic hybrid created by Count Dooku attacked the group. After a lengthy duel between Vesal and Grevious, Vesal managed to cut off two of Grevious' arms, forcing him to flee. The squad later escaped the prison complex and brought Eil back to Coruscant. After discovering that Eil had surrendered himself to divert the droids from a Clone battalion, he was made a Master by the Council for his self sacrifice and determination during his imprisonment.

Master Eil became a good friend of Master Vesal and Nightingale Squad after his rescue, and agreed to help them on missions which involved Jedi artifacts, though he avoided anything involving the war. On one such occasion, Vesal was tracking a Twilek thief who had stolen an ancient Sith crystal. Tracking her to Ord Mantell, it was Master Eil who gave Vesal information about the surrounding area, including an abandoned Old Republic base and an ancient volcano used as a stronghold by the Sith Empire.

Personality and characteristics
Master Eil was a pacifist, and hated all ideas of fighting, war and conflict. Among the Jedi, he was well-liked for this attitude, as it meant he stuck close to the Jedi Code and had a peaceful, diplomatic attitude to situations. However, to the Republic military and the Senate, he was not as important. They argued that he wasted time travelling to distant planets instead of helping to fight the war, and stated that the archives were not as important as the Clone Wars.

Master Eil was a short Zabrak with broad shoulders and a bald head. He had over a dozen spikes on his head, along with dark skin and a pale tattoo running down the center of his face. He wielded a single green lightsaber which he only used for self defence, and he carried the other essentials of a Jedi Master, such as a holocom and water breathing gear,
