This man was the son of Sharad Hett, a Jedi Master who became a recluse and hid
on the planet Tatooine during the period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A'Sharad
was trained in the use of the Force by his father, during his early childhood. When
Sharad Hett was assassinated by Aurra Sing, the Jedi Knight Ki-Adi-Mundi vowed to
train A'Sharad as his Jedi Padawan. Sharad gave his lightsaber to A'Sharad, so that
he would have a constant remembrance of his father's struggle for peace. A'Sharad
also created his own lightsaber, as part of his training, and often sparred with both
weapons. A'Sharad studied the Jedi Code and the Force quiet deeply, but retained
a small portion of the wildness of this Tusken heritage. It was during his training on
Coruscant that he learned that humans and Tusken Raiders were genetically
unable to reproduce, leading him to believe that his mother must have been a
human, captured by the Tusken Raiders at a young age and raised as a Tusken.
During the search for Aurra Sing, after the deaths of Peerce and J'Mikel, A'Sharad
came very close to giving in to his angry and attacking the bounty hunter. He
believed that he should leave the Jedi Order because of his feelings, but the Dark
Woman explained that every being had a bit of the darkness in them, and that
A'Sharad had overcome his quite well. The Dark Woman then offered to continue
A'Sharad's teaching, provided Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed. He did, and A'Sharad proved to
be a willing student and a quick learner. Just before the Clone Wars, Hett attained
the rank of Jedi Master and took Bhat Jul as his apprentice. While the Battle of
Jabiim raged on, Master Hett led the Republic forces that secured the planet
Metalorn against Separatist attack. In the wake of the disaster at Jabiim, Master Hett
also took on Anakin Skywalker, although more as a friend than a student., after
Obi-Wan Kenobi was presumed dead on Jabiim. Together, the three Jedi led the
Republic's defense of Aargonar. It was on Aargonar that A'Sharad discovered
Anakin's slaughter of the Tusken tribe that had captured his mother, at which time
A'Sharad revealed his true identity. He also revealed a collection of facial tattoos
which he used to mark himself as something other than purely human. After his
discussion with Anakin, and the way they fought as Jedi on Aargonar, A'Sharad
decided to live the rest of his life without his Tusken Raider's facial coverings.
Rather than worrying about whether he was human or Tusken, Master Hett wanted
to live as a Jedi. He also kept Anakin's dark past a secret, preferring to allow the
young Jedi to carry the burden of its secrecy until the time was right to shed it. Near
the end of the Clone Wars, Hett was among the Jedi dispatched to Saleucami,
serving under Quinlan Vos and Oppo Rancisis during the Siege of Saleucami. He
worked with Xiaan Amersu to lead the initial starfighter assault on the Separatist
positions on the planet, and was greatly dismayed when she sacrificed herself to
ensure the Republic's victory. He honored her memory by completing the mission,
allowing the Republic to retake Saleucami and destroy the Separatist cloning
facilities beneath it's surface.
