Knol Ven ' nari , a Bothan female , was born during the final decades of the Galactic Republic . She was taken in by the Jedi Order and trained in the ways of the Force , eventually achieving the rank of Jedi Master . Ven ' nari refused to train a Padawan , however , choosing instead to roam the galaxy and go wherever the Force guided her . During her time as a Jedi , Ven ' nari fought Wookiee bandits in order to save Bothan space . Her fellow Bothans nicknamed the Jedi Master " Fire Eater " for her ability to manipulate fire by using the Force . She rarely visited the Jedi Temple on the galactic capital of Coruscant . By the time of the initiation of the Clone Wars , which was the Galactic Republic ' s war with the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Ven ' nari was regarded as one of the legends of the Jedi Order . Four months into the Clone Wars , Ven ' nari traveled to the planet Queyta and met with Jedi Masters Jon Antilles , Nico Diath , and Fay in order to recover a sample of the antidote for the Separatists ' chemical weapon known as swamp gas . The Separatists had successfully tested the airborne gas against the Gungan colony on Ohma - D ' un , a moon of the planet Naboo . After this , the Separatists planned on using it against the clone troopers who served the Grand Army of the Republic . When Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi rendezvoused with the Jedi Masters , Ven ' nari expressed her impatience to Kenobi regarding his arrival . She also questioned Antilles ' s involvement in the mission due to the fact that he was not assigned to their team . After conversing with Antilles , Ven ' nari and the Masters successfully infiltrated the mobile Separatist base , which was located on a small island moving through the planet ' s lava stream . Once the Jedi were inside , both Ven ' nari and Diath noted that the base was not guarded by battle droids . The Bothan remarked that the facility was manned and determined that the guards would be easy to deal with . However , Antilles noted that the guards were Skakoans — a species that breathed methane and was forced to wear pressurized armor — and that attacking them with a lightsaber would cause them to explode . Kenobi accessed the facility ' s schematics and located the laboratory housing the antidote . Ven ' nari and the Jedi confronted the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress and the Gen ' Dai bounty hunter Durge , who notified the team of Jedi that their spies had already informed them of the group ' s presence in the facility . As Durge shot two of the Skakoans , Ven ' nari implored Antilles , Diath , Fay , and Kenobi to stand aside . When the Skakoans exploded , Ven ' nari used her pyrokinetic abilities with the Force to pull the fire toward her . After the fire subsided , Diath and the team found Ven ' nari with extensive burns , and she told Diath that she was about to die . Diath used the Force to ease Ven ' nari ' s suffering as she passed away . After her death , Diath , Antilles , and Fay were also killed . However , Kenobi successfully recovered the antidote and returned to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Shortly after Kenobi recovered from his wounds , the Jedi held a holographic memorial service in honor of Ven ' nari and the other deceased Jedi . Personality and traits .
