Mata Fhernan, a female Human of the Clone Wars era, bore three children: Bant'ena, Chai, and Ilim Fhernan. She was saved from an Anzati assassin by Ahsoka Tano and Taria Damsin; this assassin had been employed by Lok Durd with the instructions to monitor Mata and kill her should Bant'ena decline to create a bioweapon for him.
