Yarael Poof was a male Quermian Jedi Master who served on the Jedi High Council during the High Republic Era through to the final years of the Galactic Republic. He was both an expert practitioner of Jedi mind tricks and illusions and a skilled diplomat and teacher. Following the Great Hyperspace Disaster, Poof was enlisted by Chancellor Lina Soh to help determine the cause of the incident and prevent it from happening again. After the seeming destruction of the Nihil marauders that had been manipulated into causing the disaster by Marchion Ro, he accompanied Soh to the opening of Starlight Beacon. Two centuries later, Poof witnessed the reemergence of the Jedi’s ancient enemy, the Sith, and the discovery of the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, who was prophesied to bring balance to the Force. He perished on a mission shortly before the beginning of the Clone Wars and was replaced on the Council by the Vurk Jedi Master Coleman Trebor.
