Ringoot was a male individual who became a member of the Jedi Order during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . He was a friend of another Jedi student , and , by the time of the Clone Wars , they had both become Jedi Padawans . Circa 21 BBY , Ringoot and his friend were carrying out weapons practice inside the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant when they were approached by an MV - 2 messenger unit , which summoned Ringoot ' s friend to speak with Jedi Grand Master Yoda . The individual met with Yoda , who assigned the Padawan to travel to the planet Dorin , to train under Jedi Master Plo Koon . Ringoot waited in his friend ' s quarters inside the Temple , and when the Padawan returned , the individual explained to Ringoot the mission to Dorin . Believing that he could help , Ringoot requested that the Padawan ask Yoda for permission for him to accompany his friend to Dorin . Ringoot ' s friend refused to ask Yoda if Ringoot could go on the mission , and the individual set out for Dorin alone .

A short time afterward , Ringoot ' s friend was also captured while investigating the Pzandias facility with the Advanced Recon Commando Alpha 58 . On the orders of Confederate Head of State Count Dooku , a battle droid escorted Ringoot to a room in the facility where his friend was being held by Dooku and Ventress , and Ringoot told his friend about how he had been captured . Dooku wanted to demonstrate to the recruits being trained in the facility how fallible Jedi were , so he told Ringoot ' s friend to fight Ringoot , stating that if the Padawan refused , the individual would have to fight Ventress instead . Personality and traits . Ringoot disliked Count Dooku , and he wanted to participate in the Jedi Order ' s efforts to defeat the Sith Lord . Yoda believed that Ringoot would be placed in danger if he went on the mission to Dorin , but despite that , Ringoot was envious of his friend for being given the assignment , because he believed that he was missing out .
