Oppo Rancisis
taken from the comic Republic #75
born some 174 years before the Battle of Naboo, this Thisspain
was a Jedi Master, and served as a member of the Jedi Council
shortly before the Clone Wars. Rancisis had no legs, and moved
about on a repulsor chair. He had green skin, long fingers tipped
with sharp nails, and a mass of flowing white hair. Oppo was
trained as a Jedi by Yaddle, and was skilled in the art of malacia.
Oppo once inherited the leadership of the Monarchy of Thisspias
when, at the age of twenty, his sister was murdered. However, he
declined the position in order to pursue his studies of the Force.
Among the Jedi Council, he was known for his skills in battle
planning and strategy. His fleet strategies were invaluable during the
Stark Hyperspace Conflict, as well as the Clone Wars that plunged
the galaxy into turmoil. Because of his age and his physical stature,
Master Rancisis was one of the handful of Jedi Council members
who remained on Coruscant during the Clone Wars. Some thirty
months after the Battle of Geonosis, it was Master Rancisis who
presided over the trial of Quinlan Vos. Based on the testimonies of
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, not to mention Quinlan's
own defense, Master Rancisis agreed to allow Quinlan to rejoin the
Jedi Order. Shortly afterward, Master Rancisis asked Vos to serve
as his second-in-command on a mission to Saleucami, where they
hoped to locate Master Tholme and destroy the cloning facilities
established on the planet by Sora Bulq. The Dark Jedi Sora Bulq
sent a group of Anzati assasins to attack Rancisis during one of his
battle meditations. Rancisis defeated the attackers, but the Anzati
were just a distraction for Bulq to sneak into the room. Bulq
stabbed Oppo Rancisis in the back with one of his red lightsabers
and killed the Jedi Master.
