Poreht La served as a Jedi Master within the Jedi Order, belonging to the Lasat species, throughout the High Republic Era. Possessing deep knowledge of archaic Force practices, La, together with Giktoo Nelmo and Tia Mirabel, was handpicked by the Jedi High Council to participate in a ceremony designed to cleanse a set of four statues. These statues, brought to the Jedi Temple, were suspected of harboring a dark side presence.
