a Nautolan, Kit Fisto was the Jedi Master who took over the
training of Bant Eerin in the wake of Tahl's death. He was
noted for his intense style of swordfighting, practicing Form I
style and adapting it to modern combat. Years later, Master
Fisto was paired with Belsed-Qan Idan to put together a task
force to stop the Iridium Pirates that were ambushing Old
Republic supply convoys, shortly before the onsetof the Clone
Wars. While the Jedi were successful, they lost three members
of their Order and were unable to save their command ship, the
Monitor III. Kit Fisto was one of the Jedi Masters who
accompanied
Mace Windu to Geonosis, as part of the task
force sent to rescue
Obi-Wan Kenobi and determine the level
of threat of the Conferedation of Independent Systems. His
combat prowess was evident, as Master Fisto was one of the
few survivors of the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. He
went on to serve in many battles, mainly the liberation of
Calamari, Devaron, and Ord Cestus. It was on Ord Cestus that
he was able to infiltrate the ranks of the Desert Wind terrorist
group, winning their confidence by helping them regroup and
retrain for more
concentrated attacks on the holdings of the Five Families. The mission was simple: discover the truth behind
the production of the JK-series of security droids, and whether or not the Five Families were allied with the
Separatists. Working with the ARC troopers known as Nate, Forry, Sirty, Seefor, and Xutoo, Master Fisto
was able to train the ragtag terrorists into a band of able-bodied commandos who could infiltrate corporate
locations and sabotage the efforts of the Five Families. Then, posing as the noted criminal Nemonus, Master
Fisto nearly succeeded in manipulating the Five Families into siding with the Republic. Only the savage
trickery of
Asajj Ventress prevented the ruse for working, but it left Master Fisto and Obi-Wan stranded on
Ord Cestus without making any progress. It was then that Ventress revealed that the entire plot to purchase
JK-series droids was a carefully orchestrated sham, in which Count Dooku hoped to lure the Republic and
the Jedi Order into overreacting. Once the Republic had destroyed the otherwise peaceful Cestians, the
Separatist leader believed that the galaxy would flock to his side. The two Jedi, along with the ARC troopers,
refused to let this happen, and Master Fisto very nearly gave his life to ensure that it didn't. His heroic efforts
also came close to capturing Asajj Ventress, but the Dark Jedi managed to escape at the last moment. As the
Clone Wars ground on, Master Fisto was appointed a position on the Jedi Council.
Master Fisto was chosen by Mace Windu to be part of a
strikeforce to visit the Bounty Hunter's Guild.  It was
discovered that the Guild was accepting bounties on Jedi.  
Fisto was joined by
Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, and Master
Windu himself.  Together they delivered an effective message
to the bounty hunters.
