Council of First Knowledge

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Council of First Knowledge was one of the four Jedi Councils of the Jedi Order in operation during the rule of the Galactic Republic. The Council of First Knowledge met in the Council Chambers atop the northwest tower of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

The purpose of the Council of First Knowledge was to advise Jedi on matters which required use of ancient Jedi lore. This Council was presumably linked to the Jedi Archives chamber, though the Tower of First Knowledge also contained a repository of ancient holocrons. The lore stored in this sacred chamber was maintained by a Caretaker, who served as the leader of the Council. The Caretaker position was known to have been held by fourteen Jedi in the history of the Order as of 30 BBY--with Astaal Vilbum having had at least thirteen predecessors.

The Council had one permanent member, the Caretaker, while the other four seats were filled by a rotation of Masters from the High Council, or other influential members of the Order.^[1] Even Piell was a member towards the end of the Clone Wars, and it is possible that Jedi Master T'un was a member of this council.

At some point in it's history, the Council settled the E9D8 Rebellion.

After the execution of Order 66, the Council was dissolved and all its members were executed, or went into hiding. When Luke Skywalker rebuilt the Order, it is unknown if the Council was reformed within the new Jedi Temple.
