Jedi Master Boolon Murr is the child of an Ithorian chieftain. Raised in the traditional ways of his species, he is deeply respectful of all life, and has never killed a sentient being. When faced with the challenges of taming the jungles of Onderon, some of the Temple builders - including a young Ember Rekali - traveled to Ithor and sought out the advice of Boolon's mother. To ensure her teachings were not used to harm the jungle, she sent Boolon, her student and heir, back with them. He assisted in the building of the Temple on Onderon and in keeping the native predators away. Over time, he became passionate about the Jedi Code, and during the Xen'Chi War he became a Jedi Knight and a close friend of Mahana Sira.
