Talesan Fry Talesan “ Taly ” Fry was a Human male from the world of Cirrus who was targeted for assassination by bounty hunters at age ten , a successful businessman , and the owner of an important device that could have potentially decided the fate of the Clone Wars . He personally knew Jedi Knights Obi - Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi . Biography . Childhood . Talesan Fry was a very talented child growing up on Cirrus . Taly , as he was referred to as a child , had become bored with school and soon developed a great interest in building things at a very young age . By the age of eight , Taly invented a security system for his family ’ s home that was voice - operated , and then even figured a way around it by the age of nine . His technological prowess was one of his well - known qualities , however it ended up leading him and his family into grave danger . When he was ten years old , Taly created a listening device and while testing it , inadvertently picked up a transmission between a group of bounty hunters , who planned to execute a mass assassination in a matter of days . A frightened Taly told his parents , Nelia and Grove , who later informed the Cirrus law enforcement . The bounty hunters , led by Magus and Gorm the Dissolver , decided to bring their vengeance upon the young boy and his family . Taly and his family were on the run from the hunters and soon the Jedi Council sent Qui - Gon Jinn , Adi Gallia , and their Padawans Obi - Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi , to protect them . Upon their meeting with the Jedi , the bounty hunters attacked yet again , and Nelia and Grove decided to leave their son with the Jedi , in order to divert the attackers ’ attention away from their son . Taly and the Jedi were able to flee Cirrus and fake a crash landing on the planet Quadrant Seven in order to trick the bounty hunters into believing that the boy and the Jedi died . Qui - Gon and Adi decided to investigate the nearby settlements , while Obi - Wan and Siri were left to protect Taly in the nearby caves . After receiving a distorted message from Qui - Gon , informing them to leave the planet , the Padawans debated where they should take the boy . Taly mentioned that his uncle had a home on Qexis , but this suggestion only led to more debate between the two love - struck teenagers . They finally decided to steal a transport to Coruscant , and because of Taly ’ s advanced technological skills , they were able to override its security systems . However , there was one system that the boy forgot to override . The ship ’ s anti - theft mechanism was activated , which would cause the ship to explode upon coming out from hyperspace . Knowing a way to bypass the self - destruct , Taly sent out a distress call , which he hoped would call attention to Magus ' band of pirates . The plan worked , and the hunter ’ s ship used their interdiction field to pull in the trio out of hyperspace and avoid the destruction mechanism . As Magus and the other bounty hunters boarded the ship , Taly willingly gave himself up to them in order to protect Obi - wan and Siri . The hunters took him to Rondai - 2 where their assassinations were still scheduled take place . After the Jedi met up with their masters and discovered where Taly was taken , they also learned that the bounty hunters were hired by Passel Argente of the Corporate Alliance , and that it was all of his political enemies that were the targets of the assassinations . Eventually they confronted Magus and the other bounty hunters and were able to rescue Taly . All of the pirates were either dead or captured except for Magus , who was able to flee at the expense of some of his partners ’ lives . Taly was brought to the Senate to testify , and intentionally left out Argente ’ s involvement in the situation , hoping that it would protect his parents , who were still hiding . However , Magus killed Nelia and Grove Fry anyway . Orphaned on Coruscant , Talesan was indirectly put under the protection of the Jedi . The Clone Wars . Over the next seventeen years , Talesan was able to blackmail Passel Argente and start a very successful technological company on the planet Genian . Members of his staff included vice president Helina Dow , security chief Dellard Tranc , and executive Moro Y ’ Arano . However , this success made Talesan a threat to rival companies and soon rumors spread that a spy was among his employees . During the Clone Wars , Genian was able to remain neutral . About one year into the galactic conflict , Talesan ’ s company created a code breaking device that he was willing to sell to the highest bidder , Republic or Separatist . However , in gratitude for the protection he was given as a child , Talesan made the first offer to the Republic . The Republic sent four representatives , Obi - Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker , Siri Tachi , and Senator Padmé Amidala to meet with Fry on Genian . Though his offer was quite expensive , the Republic struck a deal , a deal that would be complete once the Jedi did one favor for Talesan — find out who the spy was amongst his employees . With extensive investigating , the Jedi and Senator Amidala narrowed down to three suspects , Helina Dow , Dellard Tranc , and Moro Y ’ Arano . In order to determine who the saboteur was for sure , Talesan and the Jedi organized a trap , one that involved a decoy code breaker . When it was made to seem as if the Republic successfully bought the code breaker , Helina Dow was revealed to be the spy . Thinking that she had the device , Dow was also revealed to be in the employ of the bounty hunter , Magus , the same one who decades earlier killed Talesan ’ s parents . Magus was once again working for the Passel Argente and the Corporate Alliance . Magus was able to get away with the decoy code breaker , while the Jedi captured Dow . Talesan , the Jedi , and Senator Amidala headed for Azure Spaceport , where the transferring of the real code breaker would be ensured safely to Republic General Solomahal . What they did not know was that after her realization that the code breaker she found was a decoy , Helina Dow was able to find the real device and install a homing beacon on it , which brought a Separatist attack force to Azure . During the attack on Azure , a Coruscant - bound transport carrying Talesan and Padmé was shot down , though both managed to survive in an escape pod . After reuniting with Siri and Obi - Wan , Talesan accompanied Obi - Wan in a starfighter to help fend off the attacking Separatist forces . After the ship carrying Magus was taken down , Talesan found him and held him at gunpoint , threatening to kill him in revenge for his parents ’ murders . However , Magus was taken into custody unharmed . Following the attack on Azure , General Solomahal was forced to destroy the code breaker , when it seemed inevitable that it would fall into Separatist hands . As for Talesan ’ s company , the Separatists destroyed its headquarters on Genian .
