Timberus Canistia was a powerful Dark Jedi in the year 128 ABY. He was a giant-sized Cathar with multiple kills as a mercenary. Timberus was a massive specimen. Despite his size however, he was skilled in lightsaber combat and is deceptively fast. He was trained by a Twi'lek female only known as Shou when his father gave him away to her. She referred to herself as a Sith Warrior, but her teachings were of someone who was a master in the dark side. After years of teachings from her, Timberus, under false pretenses, killed her for thinking she was holding back dark side insight that he thought could make him more powerful and he was led to believe she was planning to kill him.
