Legend

this Quermian, born on the planet Ploo II, was a noted professor teaching galactic history on Coruscant during the years preceding the Battle of Naboo. He was distinguished from other Quermians by the black apparatus which covered his left eye. Doctor Lundi was something of an expert on the lore of the ancient Sith, and his lectures on their magic and the Dark Side of the Force were extremely popular. One of his students, a youth named Norval, listened intently to Doctor Lundi's words, as did another student named Omal. Lundi took took a sabbatical some six years before the Battle of Naboo, in an effort to recover the Sith Holocron which was believed to exist at the bottom of the planet's oceans. Norval, sensing the power of the Holocron, traveled to Kodai and tried to take it for himself, but the Holocron was lost in the struggle to control it. The appearance of Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, forced Norval to flee. However, Lundi was captured by the Jedi and held prisoner on Coruscant. He languished in prison for ten years, going slowly insane, until the Jedi decided to return to Kodai and attempt to recover the Holocron again. This time, Doctor Lundi was accompanied by Obi-Wan and his own apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. Anakin's own growing power frightened Doctor Lundi, who began to die after realizing that the Holocron would never be his. Despite the fact that the Jedi were able to recover the Holocron from Norval, Doctor Lundi died shortly afterward.
