Coleman Trebor

Coleman Trebor was a male Vurk from Sembla, who served as a Jedi Master and Council member of the Jedi Order during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Trebor was one of few Vurks to earn galactic fame some time before the Invasion of Naboo, after averting a number of interplanetary disputes without bloodshed. Something of a celebrity with the media, Trebor was well-connected, with numerous diverse contacts located throughout the galaxy.

In 27 BBY, after the death of Yarael Poof, Trebor was chosen for a place on the Jedi High Council, and he participated in many missions during the Separatist Crisis; along with fellow Jedi Shaak Ti, he foiled an assassination attempt on Chancellor Palpatine in 24 BBY, and participated in the Battle of Antar 4 over a year later.

Coleman Trebor considered himself to be more of a diplomat than a fighter, and was known for peacefully settling a number of interplanetary disputes. Though he was well known for his diplomacy skills, as well as being very humble, he believed that Jedi were servants, not celebrities. He was also insightful and shared a close friendship with a Padawan named Jyl Somtay. Despite his peaceful personality, Master Trebor was courageous.

Although noted more for his considerable diplomatic abilities, Trebor was a deadly lightsaber combatant. One of the greatest Jedi of the Old Republic, Trebor was capable of besting most adversaries with or without his lightsaber. The 360° vision of a Vurk was well-suited for the Soresu style of lightsaber combat, and this was Trebor's chosen technique.

As a Jedi Master, Trebor's knowledge of the Force was almost unparalleled. He was highly skilled in the ability of Force Stealth, which he used to successfully sneak up on Count Dooku.

Vurks were the predominant sentient species of the planet Sembla. The Vurk were reptilian amphibians. They were tall, with gray-green skin and crested heads. Their hands had two fingers and an opposable thumb.
