Jon Antilles Jon Antilles was the name — though many believed it was an alias — of a male Human Jedi Master who lived during the outbreak of the Clone Wars , the conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Trained by the Jedi Master known as the Dark Woman , who was known for her unusual and often harsh training methods , Antilles followed in his Master ' s path and roamed the galaxy , letting the Force be his guide . Considered as a legend among his fellow Jedi , one of Antilles ' s many accomplishments was infiltrating the Bounty Hunters ' Guild and bringing known murderers to justice . Because of his nomadic nature and tendency to go on long periods of time without reporting back to the Jedi Temple , Antilles was thought to be dead many times over . Four months after the Battle of Geonosis , Antilles went to the planet Queyta where a Separatist base was located . Along with four Jedi Masters — Knol Ven ' nari , Nico Diath , Fay and Obi - Wan Kenobi — Antilles was tasked with acquiring the antidote for swamp gas , a chemical weapon that the Separatists planned to use against the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic . Unbeknownst to the Jedi , the base was actually a trap laid out by Separatist Commander Asajj Ventress and the Gen ' Dai bounty hunter Durge . Antilles confronted Durge , allowing Kenobi and Fay to pursue Ventress and retrieve the antidote from her . Proving to be stronger , Durge killed Antilles by grabbing the Jedi and physically submerging him into one of the many lava streams that flowed through the base . Among those on the Jedi strike team , Kenobi was the only one who survived the mission . He managed to return to the Jedi Temple with the antidote , and after he was treated for his wounds , a funeral was held for the deceased Masters . Biography . Jon Antilles was the name of a Human male Jedi Master who lived during the beginning of the Clone Wars , a major galactic conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , though many of his fellow Jedi believed it was not his real name but merely an alias . At some point in Antilles ' s early life , he became a Padawan of the Dark Woman , a Jedi Master who was known to have subjected her Padawans to unorthodox training methods . After his apprenticeship , Antilles roamed the galaxy and allowed the Force to be his guide . He was considered a nomad by the Jedi Order , refusing to take a Padawan learner of his own . He often went through long periods of time without reporting back to the Jedi High Council , leading to many instances of him being believed dead . Despite his nomadic lifestyle , Antilles ' s substantial achievements , which included infiltrating the Bounty Hunters ' Guild and bringing many murderers to justice , spoke volumes to his mastery of the Force . Four months into the Clone Wars , Antilles went to the world of Queyta to assist four of his fellow Jedi — Masters Knol Ven ' nari , Nico Diath , Fay , and Obi - Wan Kenobi — in finding the antidote for a Separatist chemical weapon called swamp gas , a lethal airborne gas that was first tested on Gungan colonists on the moon of Ohma - D ' un and resulted in great casualties among the colonists . After the successful initial test , the Separatists planned to use the chemical weapon against the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic . Even though the Jedi High Council had not assigned him to the strike team , Antilles followed the will of the Force and joined the group . Following their infiltration of the mobile Separatist base , which was located on a small island moving through the planet ' s lava stream , the group learned that Separatist Commander Asajj Ventress and the Gen ' Dai bounty hunter Durge were waiting for them . Informed by their spies , Ventress and Durge had known of the Jedi strike team ' s arrival in advance and had prepared for the assault . Antilles engaged Ventress in a lightsaber duel before being forced off a narrow walkway by Durge . With the antidote in her hands , Ventress tried to escape with Fay and Kenobi chasing after her . Durge blocked the pair ' s path , but Antilles took it upon himself to distract the assassin , allowing his companions to continue pursuing Ventress . In his final moments , Antilles resorted to physical confrontation and grappled with Durge , grabbing him from behind . Although a skilled Jedi , Antilles was no match for the Gen ' Dai bounty hunter ; Durge incinerated Antilles by pressing him into a lava stream . Kenobi , the only survivor of the Jedi strike team , was successful in retrieving the antidote . He managed to return to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant despite his many injuries sustained from the mission , and handed the antidote over to Jedi High Council member Mace Windu for mass production . After being treated for his wounds , Kenobi joined his fellow Jedi in honoring the four deceased Masters for their sacrifice . Personality and traits . Despite his tutelage under the Dark Woman , considered by many as someone who often tread too close to the dark side of the Force , Antilles was a firm believer of the light side . While he was engaged in a lightsaber duel with Ventress , Antilles expressed his opinion that Ventress was already destroyed by falling to the dark side . Antilles followed the Living Force , traveling across the galaxy and delivering justice when needed , as shown when he apprehended several murderers within the Bounty Hunters ' Guild . He allowed the Living Force to guide his decisions and actions , even to the point of ignoring official orders from the Jedi High Council . One such example was when he joined the Jedi strike team on Queyta just by following the Living Force , despite not receiving any official briefing for the mission . When Master Knol Ven ' nari berated him for not being assigned to the strike team , Antilles merely replied that he was needed . During the mission to Queyta , Antilles exhibited signs of being a disobedient loner . He barely acknowledged Nico Diath ' s authority as leader of the strike team , and took the lead himself when the team infiltrated the Separatist base . Far from being brash and impulsive , however , Antilles displayed a trait of being cautious and observant . After entering the Separatist base and learning that no battle droids were deployed , Antilles advised the strike team that no path was completely safe . When Master Knol Ven ' nari favored a direct assault against the base ' s Skakoan guards , Antilles rejected that course of action by pointing out that the Skakoans were methane breathers and had to wear pressurized suits , and thus killing them using lightsabers would cause a violent explosion . Antilles ' s bravery and selflessness were shown in his last act when he took on Durge on his own , sacrificing his life in the process and giving his companions the chance to complete the mission . Powers and abilities . As a Padawan of the Dark Woman , Jon Antilles was a product of her rigorous and unconventionally harsh training methods , which were nonetheless effective . Among his many Force powers , Antilles was capable of Force flight , which he demonstrated when he and the Jedi strike team jumped from a cliff and landed safely onto the moving Separatist island base during the mission to Queyta . Antilles was also an experienced swordsman , able to hold his own against Asajj Ventress , who was known to have slain several Jedi . Behind the scenes .
