Legend

this gray-skinned Pau'an served as the Portmaster of Pau City, on his homeworld of Utapau, for more than 200 years. Tion Medon could trace his family history back to Timon Medon. Although outwardly neutral, Medon was loyal to the Old Republic during the Clone Wars and in the wake of those hostilities. He was unprepared for the arrival of General Grievous and a small Separatist army, which quickly took control of Utapau and established a base of operations there. Grievous eliminated the ruling members of Utapau's government, which left Tion Medon ostensibly in control of his planet. This sudden turn of events led Tion Medon to order his military forces into hiding, so that the Separatists wouldn't be able to discern the true military strength of the Utapauns. Thus, when Obi-Wan Kenobi suddenly appeared in Pau City, Tion Medon provided him with a wealth of information on Grievous' forces arrayed in the city. Tion Medon also placed the Utapaun military at the command of the Republic's forces, with Utai soldiers augmenting the clone troopers during the fight to control Pau City. Although Grievous was defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi, the clone forces were given Order 66 by Darth Sidious. They turned on Kenobi, who managed to escape, then set about subjugating Utapau. Tion Medon was one of the first Pau'ans to be imprisoned, as his resourcefulness was well-known.
