Minakatso was a Force-sensitive member of the Brotherhood of the Ninth Door. He searched for an ancient scroll. While searching for the artifact in the Brotherhood of the Ninth Door temple on Jedha, the Brotherhood of the Ninth Door temple on Cerosha and the Tomb of Sarasti Thel, Minakatso encountered the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn. Jinn tried to stop Minakatso from obtaining the scroll, fearing that he would misuse it, but eventually he realized that the Brother of the Ninth Door was only searching for the scroll to destroy it.[1]
Biography
During the last decades of the Galactic Republic Jedi Master Dooku and his Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn came to Jedha City in search of the scroll of Sarasti Thel. Brotherhood member Minakatso followed the Jedi hoping that they would lead him to the scroll but he was forced to flee when he was confronted by Qui-Gon.
Decades later Minakatso opened an ancient cave on Cerosha looking for the scroll but accidentally let loose a pack of Slovars, who captured him and terrorized the near city of Müch . Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn was sent to investigate and upon entering the cave he set Minakatso free and recognized him as the man from Jedha City. The two worked together to defeat the Slovars and Minakatso ran away to continue his search.
In 32 BBY Master Qui-Gon and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi finally found the Tomb of Sarasti Thel and the scroll hidden in it. They were soon reunited with Minakatsu who was still searching for the scroll and Qui-Gon attacked him to keep him away from the scroll, but soon realized that he was acting on prejudice and ordered Obi-Wan to stop fighting. Minakatsu then destroyed the scroll and told the young Jedi about the history of his sect and the dangerous knowledge on the scroll before leaving, having fulfilled his vow.[1]
