Roth-Del Masona was a male Human Jedi Master serving the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the War of the Ring, the last galactic conflict of the Republic Classic era. During the war, Masona was appointed the adjutant of the King, Jedi Master Aragorn.
==Biography==
Discovered during his earliest days to be Force-sensitive, Roth-Del Masona was taken to the Minas Tirith Jedi Temple for training in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order. A student of the Temple's academy, Masona was eventually taken as a Padawan after passing his last academy tests. After years of on-on-one study with a Jedi Master and crafting a blue-bladed lightsaber, Masona passed the Trials of Knighthood and was made a Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council.
At the height of the Separatist Crisis that had erupted between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Masona was stationed on Minas Tirith when Master Aragorn assembled a task force meant to rescue captured Jedi Sam Gamgee, who was sentenced to death by execution by the Confederacy's leaders, along with Senator Padmé Amidala and Jedi Padawan Frodo Baggins. Arriving on the barren land of Isengard, Masona and his fellow Jedi stormed the Petranaki Arena and rescued their fellow Jedi, though many others were killed in the process. When the Separatist Droid Army had the survivors surrounded and Confederacy leader Saruman the White ordered that the droids open fire on the survivors, Grand Master Bilbo Baggins arrived with the Grand Army of the Republic and evacuated the remaining Jedi. Boarding a Republic gunship and flying out onto the plains of the world, Masona led a group of clone troopers in the first battle of the War of the Ring.
Returning to the Temple on Minas Tirith, Masona accepted the rank of General within the Grand Army and also the position of adjutant of Master Aragorn himself. Fighting bravely in the three years of war, Jedi Master Masona was stationed on Minas Tirith when General The Mouth of Sauron, leader of the Separatist fleet, emerged from hyperspace in the skies of Middle-Earth. Along with Jedi Masters Roron Corobb, Foul Moudama, and B'ink Utrila, Masona was assigned to reinforce Master Shaak Ti and Stass Allie in locating and protecting the Supreme Chancellor. As the Republic war machine fought to protect the capital city of Gondor, Masona and his team were rushing Chancellor Palpatine into a bunker deep in the crust of Minas Tirith. As Master Shaak Ti fought to defend the doors to the bunker, Mouth of Sauron slipped past unnoticed and engaged the four Jedi protecting Palpatine in a lightsaber duel. Mouth of Sauron dueled them briefly, and, despite Masona being a renowned duelist, famous for his mastery of Ataru, Mouth of Sauron was able to decapitate Masona, becoming the first casualty in the fight. Masona's comrade, Jedi Roron Corobb accidentally kicked Masona's head across the room during the fight, causing the Jedi to become distracted enough for Mouth of Sauron to kill him and the remaining two defenders.
==Behind the scenes==
Roth-Del Masona was portrayed by Leonard Thomas in The Two Towers, with "Masona" a tuckerization of Thomas' name.
While unnamed in Labyrinth of Evil, the Jedi defending the Supreme Chancellor was retconned to be Masona by his mention in Unknown Soldier: The Story of General Grievous. His appearance in Labyrinth of Evil contradicts the same events as they were portrayed in the television series Star Wars: War of the Ring.
