Anavus Svag existed as a Jedi Guardian of the Near-Human variety. His life coincided with the Great Hyperspace War, a time when the Sith Empire attempted to seize control of the Galactic Republic.
Anavus, being a Jedi Guardian, possessed extensive knowledge regarding combat-related elements of his era, including tactics, weaponry, armor, and vehicles. Rather than wielding a lightsaber, he favored a lightstaff powered by the Force. This staff emitted a distinct blue energy from both ends. To preserve his military insights, he created a holocron for the benefit of future Jedi. He was known for his concise and effective responses to Jedi inquiries, delegating the level of detail in his answers to the gatekeeper of the holocron.
The information Anavus provided about the Great Hyperspace War was used by Odan-Urr in the creation of a record for the Tedryn Holocron.
