Biography[]
A year before the Trade Federation invaded Naboo, Yarael Poof defended the Jedi Temple from the Yinchorri. One warrior was captured and interrogated by the Jedi Order.
After Naboo was invaded, Poof was still a respected member of the Jedi Council and was present when Qui-Gon Jinn reported that a Zabrak assasin attacked him and Jinn believed him to be a Sith Lord. Jinn also presented Anakin Skywalker to the Council and believed him to be the Chosen One. Poof, along with the other Council members, refused to train the boy. However, they later reversed their decision following the death of Darth Maul at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi, at the expense of Qui-Gon's death.
Poof was later assigned to stop Ashaar Khorda from attacking Coruscant using an artifact capable of destroying the planet. The Jedi Master formed an alliance with Jango Fett and Zam Wesell to stop the terrorist. Khorda stabbed Poof with a vibroblade, but the terrorist was shortly killed by Jango Fett. Yarael uses the last amount of the Force to stop the device, saving trillions of lives on Coruscant, but died in the process.

Following his death, the Clone Wars began, where Darth Maul was revealed to have survived his duel against Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Jedi Master Coleman Trebor replaced his spot on the Jedi High Council. However, Trebor was one of the many Jedi killed at the battle at Geonosis during Episode II - Attack of the Clones, being killed by Jango Fett. The spot was once again replaced by Jedi Master Kit Fisto, who was one of the few survivors of the Battle of Geonosis. However, Fisto was one of the Jedi who was killed by Sith Lord Emperor Palpatine in Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, despite it being a 4 on 1 and despite Kit Fisto being one of the greatest lightsaber duelists in the Jedi Order. After Fisto's death, the Jedi Council was disbanded due to Palpatine's Order 66 nearly driving the Jedi to extinction.
