Emerick Caphtor, a Jedi Master of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era, was a human male. Caphtor's assignment involved delving into the enigmatic circumstances surrounding Loden Greatstorm's demise on the world of Grizal. He discovered that a traditional Jedi children's verse provided insights that eluded the Jedi Archives. Concurrently, Lina Soh, the Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, engaged Sian Holt, a private detective, to probe the very same perplexing case.
The debut of Emerick Caphtor occurred in the young-adult novel The High Republic: Out of the Shadows, authored by Justina Ireland, which was released in 2021.
