Eeth Koth

Eeth Koth is a male Zabrak Jedi master and a member of the High Jedi council during the final years of the Old Republic. Koth is an Iridonian the horned species is known for their determination and mental discipline, which allows them to tolerate great physical suffering.
==Background==
Koth started his Jedi training at the unusually late age of four years, making him more receptive than his fellow Council members. Koth was seated on the Council when Master Qui-Gon Jinn brought information regarding the return of the Sith, which startled the Council, and Koth shared a concerned look with Depa Billaba. Qui-Gon also discussed his discovery of a young boy named Anakin Skywalker, who was believed to be the destined Chosen One, to which the Council agreed to test the boy.
When reports came in that Jinn had been slain on Naboo by the Sith Lord, Koth and a majority of the Council traveled to the world for his funeral and allowed Jinn's apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi to train the boy.
Koth was present on Coruscant when Obi-Wan and his apprentice Anakin reported the failed assassination attempt against Senator Padmé Amidala. Later, the Council discovered Kenobi had been on the planet Geonosis and was captured by the Separatist along with his apprentice and the Senator. Master Mace Windu formed a Jedi task force which Koth joined and fought with his fellow Jedi in the battle arena in what became the opening battle of the Clone Wars.
Later during the Clone Wars, the Council discussed the growing concern of the Separatists and the need for more Jedi Knights. Master Kenobi asked for his apprentice to forgo the Trials and be promoted to Knighthood, causing some Council members distrust, including Koth. Master Yoda trusted the decision and allowed Anakin to become a Jedi Knight.
In the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode, "Grievous Intrigue", he was taken prisoner by the cyborg general General Grievous as his Jedi hostage. Wanting to rescue their comrade, the Council dispatched Obi-Wan, Anakin and Adi Gallia to rescue Koth. Gallia engaged Grievous in a lightsaber battle while Anakin rescued Koth. After Grievous fled the battle, Gallia returned Koth's lightsaber to him and parted ways with Kenobi and Skywalker as she escorted Koth to a medical ship.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Trained as a Jedi Guardian, Koth was a talented swordsman and tactician, wielding a lightsaber with a green crystal to produce its emerald blade. While in the Jedi Temple, he was also known to use a green double-bladed lightsaber in sparring bouts with his fellow Jedi.
Eeth Koth was regarded as one of the most skilled lightsaber duelists of his time. Master Koth's greatest strengths lay in his natural ability to hone his mind into a disciplined weapon. He was an extremely skilled duelist, capable of holding off the ferocious style of infamous Jedi-killer General Grievous, despite being forced on the defensive and having to wield his lightsaber one-handed due to an injury to his forearm. He also held his own impressively against Darth Vader, appearing to be only somewhat battered from Force based attacks at the conclusion of the duel proper, even further impressive considering Koth had been living a peaceful life for five years, and had likely not faced combat since the end of the war.
He was also greatly powerful in the Force itself, as he was able to blast a large hole in a thick stone wall while simultaneously hurling a medical droid at Vader. At the conclusion of his duel with Grievous, Koth demonstrated proficiency with unleashing powerful telekinetic blasts, which he used to temporarily subdue the Confederate General by push Grievous into a window with enough power to stun him. Though he overpowered the General through the use of the Force rather than through swordplay, defeating him was still difficult for Grievous, requiring the intervention of the Magnaguards. 
Koth was also an exceptional unarmed fighter and had exceptional agility. 
Common to his species was an innate ability to endure great physical pain, a trait developed as a way to survive the harsh wilds of Iridonia. Enhanced through his connection to the Force and his Jedi training, Koth was a master of the rare technique known as Crucitorn.
