Shadday Potkin was a human who served as a Jedi Master within the Jedi Order, the guardians of the Galactic Republic.[1] In 19 BBY,[2] Potkin attended a briefing given by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on the Outer Rim Sieges being conducted by the Republic in the ongoing Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The briefing was held in one of the briefing rooms in the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant.[3]

After the briefing concluded, Potkin was one of the last to leave the room, walking out beside another human Jedi as Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker entered the room.[3] Potkin was Force-sensitive and had brown hair, brown eyes, and tan skin.[1] The Jedi Master wore a set of brown Jedi robes including brown boots.[3]
