Misha Sharuk was a human Jedi Knight[3] that lived during the High Republic Era.[4] In 132 BBY,[1] Sharuk was briefed by Jedi Knight Yord Fandar on a mission to Khofar to locate secluded Jedi Master Kelnacca.[2]
Sharuk accompanied a team led by Jedi Master Sol through the forests of Khofar in search of Kelnacca. As night began to fall, the team eventually reached Kelnacca's shelter and demanded the surrender of anyone inside. Unbeknownst to them, a mysterious stranger approached them from behind. Sharuk ignited her lightsabers in response to the Stranger drawing his blade. Charging him, Sharuk was flung back by a powerful Force push. In the ensuing battle, Sharuk's blade was shorted-out by the Stranger's cortosis gauntlet. After regaining the use of her lightsaber, Sharuk was promptly impaled through the chest by the Stranger who then pulled Inro Jadrel into his still ignited blade, killing them both.[5]
Equipment
Misha Sharuk wore brown Jedi apparel with gold accents, and wielded a lightsaber with a blue blade.[2]
