Lo Pelkar was a male Human Padawan of the Jedi Order; he operated in the final years of the Galactic Republic and focused his training on becoming a Jedi Guardian.
Being a Force-sensitive Human, Lo Pelkar received his education in the Force at the Almas Academy, which was an experimental school managed by the Jedi Order. He was chosen to be the Padawan of Rodian Jedi Knight Rulo, and together they accepted missions from the Almas Council that led them throughout the Cularin system.
In 31 BBY, Padawan Pelkar and Master Rulo were tasked with investigating the reason behind the destruction of several critical kaluthin farms located on Almas. The Jedi visited a local bar and questioned the customers to see if they knew of any suspicious people passing through. Despite the fact that most of the bar's occupants thought the Jedi were responsible for the farms' destruction, Pelkar, who was normally arrogant, kept his composure and was able to find information that eventually led the Jedi to the real culprits: Dark Jedi Kosa-Yin Hadu and Gar Granga.
