A'Sharad Hett was a Human male who served as a Jedi Master in the waning days of the Galactic Republic. The son of Sharad and K'Sheek Hett, he eventually became the Padawan of Jedi Masters Ki-Adi-Mundi, and later, An'ya Kuro. When he was only a teen, his mother was killed the Yinchorri Uprising, and his father was murdered by the Jedi assassin Aurra Sing. Following his father's death, Ki-Adi-Mundi decided to take the young A'Sharad as his padawan. He worked alongside various members of the Jedi Council: Adi Gallia, his own master, Yaddle, Mace Windu, and Even Piell. During the Clone Wars, he served the Republic as a General and established himself as a charismatic leader who often led his troops from the front. A'Sharad attained the rank of Jedi Master near the end of the Clone Wars. When Palpatine declared the Jedi traitors, A'Sharad managed to survive the Clone Wars, and was one of the remaining Jedi to have escaped the Great Jedi Purge in 19 BBY. A'Sharad Hett eventually made his way back to his homeworld of Tatooine where he vowed to wage a private war against the new Galactic Empire.
