BiographyEdit

Tru became a good friend of Anakin Skywalker after meeting in an alley searching for droid parts. He and Anakin, along with their Masters, were sent on a number of missions together to worlds such as Radnor, Euceron, and Korriban. Tru later, along with Anakin and Ferus, patrolled the Galactic Games. Later, after Darra Thel-Tanis was shot on Haaridan, Tru was enrolled by Master Soara Antana in a practice spar to help improve Anakin's battle skills. A short while later Tru met up with Anakin again after rescuing him. After Olin made a comment regarding Anakin's loyalty to his master, Tru stood up for Anakin saying "You weren't there, You have no right to judge."

Tru ended his friendship with Anakin after a fellow Padawan, Darra Thel-Tanis, died during the mission to Korriban. Tru hid the fact that his lightsaber was damaged from his mentor, and Anakin spied on Ferus Olin, their fellow Padawan, fixing it. Anakin realized it was not fully repaired, but said nothing out of anger towards Tru for going to Ferus for help instead of him. When battled again, Tru's lightsaber started to malfunction. Tru switched lightsabers with Ferus, and Darra gave her life to save Ferus. After her death, the three Padawans returned to the Temple and Ferus left the order, but not before Tru and Ferus realized Anakin knew about the lightsaber and had not told them. In reality, Tru's deception killed Darra, but Anakin might have been able to prevent her death as well. It was after a confrontation outside of the Council chamber's that Anakin realized that Tru would never come around again as his friend. Tru befriended Ferus shortly before Ferus left the order.

Stationed at the Temple collecting and compiling very important information on the request of his former Master, Veld was at the Jedi Temple when Darth Vader initiated Operation: Knightfall. After managing to escape the Temple, the Teevan Knight was being tracked by the Coruscant Security Force, who called in assistance from the 501st Legion to take him out.^[4] Despite his efforts, Tru was unable to escape the devastation of Order 66. After being killed by the clones, his lightsaber, like that of many Jedi, was placed in a bottom-level storage area of the Jedi Temple by the Galactic Empire. This was part of a trap to attract other Jedi survivors who were lured into believing that the area was a prison for captured Jedi. Ferus Olin was the one who found the lightsaber and chose to leave it there out of honor for Tru's memory rather than keep it.

Powers and abillitiesEdit

While moderately skilled in lightsaber combat, Tru was less seasoned when it came to their construction, and his crimson-bladed weapon was forged with several flaws, requiring frequant repairs and maintainence, which True relied on others to peform for him.^[6]
