Dendro was a Human male Jedi Padawan apprenticed to Jedi Master Hylon during the final years of the Galactic Republic. In 19 BBY, Dendro and his Master survived the initial stages of the Great Jedi Purge, which was ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. A few months after Palpatine declared himself Emperor of the Galactic Empire, Dendro and Hylon joined forces with the Ovoni, natives of the planet Otavon XII. After a strike force of Ovoni were defeated while attacking Tremor Base—an Imperial station constructing All Terrain Armored Transports—the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader tracked Dendro and a small group of Ovoni in the forest. The Jedi confronted the Sith Lord in a lightsaber duel, but was ultimately killed by Vader.
