Djinn Altis Djinn Altis was a male Human Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . During the Clone Wars , Djinn headed the Altisian Jedi sect , a split faction of Jedi who did not follow the Jedi High Council but continued to serve the Republic . Biography . Early life . A Force - sensitive Human male , Djinn Altis was discovered by the Jedi Order at an early age and instructed in the ways of the Force at the Coruscant Jedi Temple . Attaining the rank of Jedi Knight , Djinn Altis began to develop a philosophy that differed from the Jedi High Council ' s interpretation of the Jedi Code . Believing that individuals of any age could be trained in the ways of the Force , Altis also had disdain for the rule regarding the amount of Padawans a Jedi could take . Most radical of all was his belief in the institution of marriage , believing that attachments should be encouraged among Jedi as long as they were kept in check . Despite his somewhat radical beliefs , Altis ascended to the rank of Jedi Master , and at some point discovered a young Callista Masana on the world of Chadra . As a Master , Altis opened a mobile academy called the " Chu ' unthor " sometime around 35 BBY , aboard which he taught his beliefs to all those who would listen . Believed by some to be a wise instructor and by many more to be a crazed old heretic , Altis gathered a following of pupils who came to be known collectively as the Altisian Jedi by the Coruscant - trained members of the Order . There , he educated his students in not only the techniques taught to mainstream Jedi , but also powers thought of as arcane or heretical ; such as the ability to preserve one ' s consciousness after death by transferring it to an inanimate object . Hiding the ship in the clouds of Bespin , Altis married a local Bespin woman named Margani , encouraging his acolytes to do the same . The Clone Wars . When the Clone Wars erupted between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Master Altis and his followers granted aid to the Republic and the Order which cast them out . Among the Jedi who fought alongside the Republic were Masana , Geith Eris , Ash Jarvee , and Altis himself . Altis , who believed the Force had called upon him and his students to help defend the Republic , had a shaky relationship with the Council during the war , agreeing to help as long as they were not forced to give up their beliefs . Setting out aboard the " Wookiee Gunner " , the Altisian Jedi sought to bring humanitarian aid across the Outer Rim Territories . During one such mission to Yarille , Altis and his compatriots were summoned by the Force to aid a young Republic Intelligence agent Hallena Devis who was stranded on JanFathal . Combining forces with a Padawan named Ahsoka Tano and Torrent Company , Altis and Tano were able to extract Devis with as little bloodshed as possible , though to Altis ' s horror , he found that the clone troopers often demonstrated a ruthless nature . During this time , Altis also met with Tano ' s master , Anakin Skywalker , offering refuge should the High Council ever expel him for his secret marriage to the Senator of the Chommell sector , Padmé Amidala . Following the conflict on JanFathal , Altis and his people returned to their original mission to Yarille and were horrified by the destruction wrought there in their absence . Rejecting the war , Altis and his people set out to end it as soon as possible . The Dark Times . When Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of the Republic issued Order 66 to the Grand Army of the Republic , declaring all Jedi to be traitors to the New Order , the Jedi Order was effectively destroyed and the Altisians went underground . Because they did not often work side - by - side with the Grand Army and its clones , most Altisians survived the initial attacks and were able to rendezvous on Bespin . Altis remained in contact with several surviving Jedi , including Masters Plett and Iri Camas . In time , he was contacted by the Mandalorians , who despite their age - old feud with the Jedi Order had taken in several survivors on their homeworld . Altis dealt with a man named Kal Skirata , and was able to bring Kina Ha and Arligan Zey back to the Chu ' unthor , though a young Jedi named Scout decided that she ' d rather stay with the Mandalorians . Legacy . Though Altis would not live to see it , his student Callista Masana would go on to use his training to preserve her consciousness for decades , and ultimately meet the founding members of the New Jedi Order . Behind the scenes . The reference to Altis ' s death on Dathomir is based on a somewhat confusing passage in " Darksaber " where Luke refers to the original " Chu ' unthor " as though it was Altis ' s ship . His " maverick " behavior is largely a retroactive continuity fix to explain why Callista ' s Jedi training differed from the norms established in the prequel trilogy .
