Tic Verdun was a Human male scientist, allegedly a practical theorist of planetary origins with a cheerful personality, warm smile, encouraging nature and courageous heart, who lived in the years before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. (In truth, Dr. Tic Verdun was the alias-identity that Force Blank Granta Omega used to lure Anakin Skywalker to places where he might be observed and studied as a Force-wielder; while Skywalker was ultimately captured and further studied by Omega, he was saved by his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who rescued him.)
