| - Sek'nos Lanith was a Human male Jedi Master, born to Drosk and Asha Lanith in 62 BBY, on Naboo. He spent most of his early days on Kamino, however, as his parents both fell sick and died when he was only three. A group of Kaminoans found him while on a trip to Naboo and raised the human as their own for two years, when the Jedi Order took him. Lanith was notable for his Force sensitivity, and high amount of midi-chlorians. He was one of the only Jedi to not die in the Great Jedi Purge (legends report that he was able to take on and defeat more than 200 clones all by himself, on Coruscant at the time), and took refuge in Dagobah, living within one kilometer of Yoda, even though the two never sensed each other and did not meet. Lanith went to Alderaan in 0 BBY, however, and barely escaped death, leaving within a minute of the Death Star's superlaser blast. His aircraft took heavy damage navigating through pieces of the planet, and he crashed on Coruscant, encountering Darth Vader and defeating him, an amazing feat that not many other Jedi had done. Lanith was not very large, standing at 1.84 meters, or 6 feet, and he was light and moved very quickly, plus his natural skill honed by years of practice, making him an expert with lightsaber combat. He took trips from Dagobah many times and stormtroopers were sent after him when he was detected, although he resisted all capture for over twenty years until the Galactic Empire was destroyed, and sensed Luke Skywalker, coming to him to help teach younglings. It is believed that he was the last surviving member of the Old Jedi Order, living past 37 ABY, but it is probable that he died sometime in the Legacy era.
