Liam, a human with Force-sensitivity, was a Jedi youngling. He underwent training at the Jedi Temple situated on Coruscant during the Separatist Crisis. Yoda, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, was his instructor.
Prior to the [Clone Wars](/article/clone_wars], Liam joined the Jedi Order as a youngling some time ago. During the Separatist Crisis, he belonged to the Bear Clan, a group of younglings receiving training from Yoda, the Jedi Grand Master. During one particular lightsaber training session, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Knight, asked Yoda about the whereabouts of the planet Kamino, which he was unable to locate in the Jedi Archives. Kenobi projected a map of the galaxy in the training area, and Yoda instructed Liam to lower the blinds. As a result, the room darkened, allowing for better visibility of the map.
Liam's character made an appearance in the 2002 movie, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. His name pays homage to Liam Neeson, the actor who played Qui-Gon Jinn in the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.
