Legend

this Jedi Knight was assigned to be a guardian for the Prackla Sector, and was based on the planet Cartao for the thirty years prior to the Clone Wars. He was seventy-two years old when the Battle of Geonosis took place, and had taken on a diplomatic role in place of the role of solider or warrior. However, he met his greatest challenge in the person of Pilester Binalie's young son, Corf, who revered Torles as an all-powerful, infallible Jedi. This image was shattered when the Separatists tried to take control of Spaarti Creations for their own use. Torles worked tirelessly with Commander Roshton and Kinman Doriana, trying to free the planet from Separatist control. In the end, however, even Master Torles' most ingenious plans were for naught. Just after Troles liberated Roshton and his men, a Republic gunship crashed into the main Sparti Creations facility, purposely killing its crew so that the facility would not fall into the hands of the Separatists. When it was later learned that the Jedi Knights had ordered the suicide mission, Torles found himself exiled from Cartao and the Binalie family. Unknown to Torles, however, was the fact that the gunship had actually been piloted remotely, by an agent working for Darth Sidious. By implicating the Jedi in the destruction of Spaarti Creations, Sidious created a groundswell of hatred toward the Jedi Knights. Torles, without this information, left Cartao to return to Coruscant, hoping to identify the Jedi who ordered the strike which caused so much damage.
