The Jedi Knight referred to as the "technobeast Jedi" was a male individual active during the Sictis Wars, a period within the broader New Sith Wars. This Jedi warrior, during the course of the aforementioned war, was exposed to the nanogene spore, a viral agent that converted living organisms into a hybrid of part-machine, part-organic beings, more specifically mutants called technobeasts. Using his connection to the Force, he resisted the virus's attempt to lobotomizing his brain's frontal lobes. As a result of this struggle, the Knight maintained his sense of self and was thereafter called the "technobeast Jedi," continuing to protect the galaxy for many decades under this new designation.
