## Biography

**Tera Sinube** was a Cosian who served the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars as a Master and investigator for the Jedi Order. A native of the planet Cosia, Sinube had an intimate knowledge of the workings of Coruscant's criminal underworld and was regarded as an expert on the subject. Around 21 years before the Battle of Yavin, Master Sinube's services were called upon by the Padawan Ahsoka Tano, whose lightsaber had recently been stolen from her. His and the young Jedi's quest to find her weapon initially led them to a thief named Bannamu, who had sold the lightsaber to Nack Movers, a Trandoshan criminal. They tracked Movers down only to find him dead in his apartment, and they discovered the premises to be occupied by two suspicious females:Cassie Cryar and Ione Marcy.

Sinube interrogated Marcy while Tano chased the fleeing Cryar, whom the Padawan discovered was now in possession of her lightsaber. When the Cosian Jedi determined that Marcy was in collusion with Cryar, he called for her arrest, but she too fled. Sinube met up with Tano shortly afterward, and together they continued the pursuit of both women. They eventually located the fugitives on a train platform. While Marcy was arrested by several nearby police droids, Cryar ran, only to be cornered by Tano on a train. Sinube then surprised Cryar just as she prepared to exit the train with two recently captured Twi'lek hostages. He swiftly disarmed her with his sabercane before returning the stolen lightsaber previously in Cryar's possession to its rightful owner, Ahsoka Tano. Sinube was later present at the Jedi Temple when a duel between Anakin Skywalker and fallen Jedi Barriss Offee took place. When it spilled over into the courtyard where Sinube was instructing a group of younglings, Sinube drew his sabercane to defend the younglings and to assist Skywalker who, with the help of several Jedi Temple Guards, managed to disarm and subdue Offee.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **The Force:** Sinube was skilled in the Force with regard to sensing the emotions of those around him. He taught Tano how to still her own mind so that she might be able to perceive Bannamu's anxiety. Sinube was also able to conjure Jedi mind tricks, successfully performing one on the receptionist at the Spider Arms Hostel. His connection to the Force allowed him to solve cases faster than seasoned detectives in Coruscant's law enforcement.

### Abilities

* **Lightsaber Skills:** He was trained in lightsaber combat, Despite his age, Sinube was still a fast opponent and, when facing Cassie Cryar, struck three blows in rapid succession that she barely managed to block, before disarming and knocking her out in one swift move.

### Weapons and Equipment

* **Sabercane**: Tera wielded a sabercane, one with an intricately designed handle made from Cosian wood, and an enlarged ferrule with which to provide the elderly Jedi Master increased support. Sinube only revealed the duplicity of his weapon when necessary, separating the cane and producing a white lightsaber blade from its handle. When not in use, Sinube returned the handle to the shaft, effectively concealing his lightsaber from view. He also used the shaft and massive ferrule of his cane as a bludgeon, doing so to incapacitate Cassie Cryar.
