Sen Bennex was a human Jedi Knight[2] that lived during the High Republic Era.[4] In 132 BBY,[1] Bennex was briefed by Jedi Knight Yord Fandar on a mission to Khofar to locate secluded Jedi Master Kelnacca.[3]
Bennex 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. Bennex ignited his lightsaber in response to the Stranger drawing his blade. Charging him, Bennex was flung back by a powerful Force push. In the ensuing battle, Bennex's blade was shorted-out by the Stranger's cortosis gauntlet. After regaining the use of his lightsaber, Bennex was promptly cut down by the Stranger.[5]
Equipment
Sen Bennex wore brown Jedi apparel with gold accents, and wielded a lightsaber with a yellow blade.[3]
