B ' dard Tone B ' dard Tone was a male Coway Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars . Master Tone violated the direct order of the Jedi High Council and attempted to assassinate Supreme Commander Grievous of the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Biography . Early career . A Force - sensitive Coway , B ' dard Tone was a member of the Jedi Order , learning the ways of the Force and attaining the rank of Jedi Master . By the time of the Separatist Crisis which plagued the Galactic Senate following the historically pivotal Invasion of Naboo , Tone had selected the rare Duinuogwuin Initiate Zephata ' ru ' tor , as his Padawan . Clone Wars . In 22 BBY , when the conflict between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems came to a head , Tone joined Master of the Order Mace Windu ' s strike team assembled to rescue Jedi Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padmé Amidala from execution on the planet of Geonosis . Participating in the storming of the Petranaki arena , Tone was one of a few dozen Jedi to survive the opening battle of the Clone Wars . Taking up the rank of General in the Grand Army of the Republic , Tone joined the war effort . During the first year of the war , Tone was a part of a mission to retake Nadiem from Confederate control . During the mission , Tone had his first encounter with Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army , General Grievous , engaging the Kaleesh cyborg in a lightsaber duel . Though Tone survived the encounter , Grievous severed Tone ' s right arm and badly disfigured the left side of his face . When the Separatist general fled the planet at the conclusion of the Battle of Nadiem , Zephata ' ru ' tor gave chase , attempting to stop Grievous using his species ' natural ability to fly . Once he reached the general , however , Grievous activated his starfighter ' s hyperdrive in Zephata ' ru ' tor ' s path , disintegrating him into nothing . After the battle , Tone was fitted with a metal plate that covered much of the left side of his head and face , as well as a cybernetic arm to replace the one he lost . Some time before the Battle of Hypori , Tone encountered Trade Federation probe droids , and found them to be relentless hunters . Later , Tone accepted a new Padawan , Codi Ty . Hunting Grievous . In 20 BBY , Padawan , Flynn Kybo lost his Master , T ' chooka D ' oon at the hands of General Grievous . After this loss , he presented the High Council with the idea of hunting down and eliminating Grievous once and for all . Though this went against the Jedi Code , he believed it met with the Jedi principle of sacrificing one to save many . The Council was disturbed by his proposal , and ordered him not to follow through with it . They assigned him a new Master , Z ' meer Bothu , whom Kybo soon met . She too found his idea out of line , and urged him to meditate with her instead . After hours of such meditation , Tone and Ty approached the bored Padawan and asked him about his plan . Kybo was confused , as he had told no one of this , but Tone simply responded that it had been revealed to him in confidence . He said that he believed that Kybo ' s idea had much merit , though the difficulties it posed were many . Tone then revealed to Kybo his past experiences with Grievous , then suggested they meet soon to discuss it further at a cantina in Husker Square . Soon after , their plans in place , Kybo abandoned his Master and the Order just before the Battle of Alderaan , and met Tone and Ty on the backwater planet of Bryndar . Though the inhabitants of the sector were rumored to hate the Trade Federation , the three Jedi were at a loss on where to begin hunting for Grievous , as he could be on countless worlds across the galaxy . Not long after this , however , a man named Stellskard from the Banvhar Combine approached Kybo as he meditated and revealed that their quest for Grievous had spread rumors across Bryndar . As he and his compatriots also sought revenge on the Separatist general , Stellskard offered their help in the hunt , and brought the Jedi to Banvhar Station . The miners of the station were , as Stellskard put it , a " beaten people " , who had fought a brief and devastating war with the Trade Federation . Grievous had allowed his battle droids to use the miners as target practice , further adding to their hatred of the callous Kaleesh . One on board the asteroid base , Stellskard introduced the Jedi to Rini , a technician who had been able to pick up a Separatist transmission . Though the group was unable to determine the precise meaning of the garbled conversation — in actuality , Grievous revealing to Count Dooku that he had captured a group of young Padawans — they believed their mission may have been uncovered . After the transmission ended , Rini was able to establish the source of the signal as originating in the Anoat system , but couldn ' t target it any closer . Rini then revealed that during the miners ' war with the Trade Federation , they were able to obtain some of their enemy ' s equipment , including the same type of probe droids Tone had encountered before . Though Tone voiced his concern that the droids may turn on them if activated , Kybo assured him that his astromech droid , CB - 3D , would be able to ensure their memories had been wiped . The three droids were soon sent inside pods to the Anoat system to locate Grievous , and potentially assassinate him at the same time . Final battle . The droids did manage to find Grievous on the moon of Belsus , where he had perpetrated a massacre against the native Ugnaught population . The droids then attacked him , and as Kybo had predicted , they failed in this attempt , with Grievous quickly destroying all three . Tone and the other Jedi readied to depart for Belsus , with Stellskard and Rini joining them . Rini had obtained codes that should allow them to pass through the orbital blockade surrounding the moon , but he was unsure if they were recent enough . Meanwhile , Tone asked the miners of the Combine to accompany them on their mission , and each and every miner agreed . With the armed miners by their side , the Jedi boarded their ship to the Anoat system . Tone warned Kybo one final time of the repercussions of their actions and their potential excommunication from the Order , but Kybo once more remained determined . Once there , Rini ' s codes did indeed manage to work , but were old enough to warrant further scrutiny . Rini then picked up another transmission about Padawans , and the Jedi once more assumed their mission had been compromised . Without their former distance to garble the transmission , Rini was able to hear that the Padawans in question were in fact ones that had been held by the general and had now escaped . Tone then decided that while their mission to kill Grievous still applied , it was more important to rescue the young Jedi from his clutches . Since their codes caused some suspicion among the Separatist blockade , their ship was ordered to report to customs . When they did not , and landed near where the Padawans were held captive , they caused B1 battle droids to surround their ship . Tone , the Jedi , and the miners responded by attacking the droids head on , making short work of them . Although the other Jedi could not , Tone was able to sense the strong presence of Allara , one of the Padawans . The miners were angry that the Jedi wished to rescue the Padawans , but Tone pointed out that not only were the Padawans children , but wherever they were , Grievous would be nearby . When an explosion blocked their way forward , the miners fell back to their ship , while the Jedi moved downward , sensing the Padawans below . In the caves below the facility , the Ugnaughts had built secret tunnels and homes , and were using them to hide from Grievous ' invasion . They had been able to free the Padawans , but soon after they secreted them away to the underground , Grievous found them and attacked . When Allara asked him for a lightsaber so that she could defend herself , Grievous was amused , and tossed her one of his . Though she fought bravely , it was mere moments before he disarmed her . As he prepared to kill the youngling , Tone , Ty , and Kybo descended upon the scene , saving the Padawans ' lives . Tone ordered Ty to take the Padawans back to the ship , and he complied , Ty and Allara fighting through battle droids as they fled . Tone and Kybo faced Grievous alone on the narrow bridge , as the general taunted them with his physical superiority . Grievous revealed all four of his arms , using a lightsaber in each hand to duel the pair of Jedi . Though they held out for a few moments , Tone proved to be less than a match for the master duelist , losing his right arm once more . Forced to fight with his lightsaber in his left hand , he was quickly overcome , and Grievous sliced Tone in two , killing him . As Kybo continued to face Grievous alone , Ty sensed Tone ' s death in the Force . As he despaired over his loss , Allara urged him and the other Padawans to keep moving . As Grievous began to overpower Kybo as well , the Jedi told the cyborg that though no one may remember his sacrifice , as long as Grievous died as well , that would be enough . He pulled Tone ' s still - activated lightsaber from his hand and flung it toward himself , severing the cables that held the fuel pipe the pair were dueling upon . As they fuel struck the magma below them , it ignited , creating an enormous explosion that engulfed the entire facility . Everyone assumed that Grievous was killed in the vast destruction , but the general escaped . Though the explosion covered their escape , and Codi Ty was able to return all the Padawans to the Jedi Order , the Council still exiled Ty from the Order for his actions . Allara pleaded for mercy for her fellow Padawan , but Ty wanted none . He departed the Order without regrets .
