Jedi Master Yarael poof
Yarael Poof on the council
Yarael Poof is a Quermian Jedi Master and High Council member from the planet of Quermia. He is on the council early in the saga, and is there when Qui-Gon Jinn presented Anakin to the council and requested his training, and was also one of the key decision makers about whether or not to continue with it. He had a mischievous personality, and specialised in Jedi mind tricks. He enjoyed playing them on his colleagues. Nevertheless, he mainly did this to warn his fellow Jedi of the dangers they will face during their missions. He was a considerate and compassionate Jedi, whose wisdom inspired many of those around him. He was very peaceful, and preferred negotiation over the used of his yellow-bladed lightsaber. He was highly skilled in lighsaber combat, and, along with his Force powers, was one of the most powerful Jedi on the council. He valued the prosperity of the Galactic Republic, and was willing to die for it. So, he eventually did, but unlike most Jedi, not during Order 66, as he was killed many years before, by Ashaar Khorda, who had plotted an attack on one of the Republic's valuable key worlds; Alderaan, Coruscant or Corellia.
