Rahm Kota was a Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order during the finals days of the Old Republic. As a general during the Clone Wars, Kota was a military genius, but did not trust the clone soliders that the Jedi fought with. Relying on his own militia, Kota's life was sparred when Order 66 was issued, in which clones gunned down their Jedi generals. Kota then took his militia with him into hiding.
