Kaktorf, a Jedi Master, served as the mentor to the Kyuzo Savina Besatrix Malagán and presided over the Jedi Temple located on Takodana in the High Republic Era. The Jedi's response to Malagán's unsanctioned covert operation, where she joined Maz Kanata's pirate crew during the Battle of Jedha, remained a source of amusement for both Malagán and Kanata for more than a century afterward.
