Rahm Kota was an elder Human male Jedi and general during the Clone Wars. His lack of faith in the clone troopers allowed the general to escape Order 66.[2]

Prior to joining the Jedi Order, Kota fought in the trench warfare that plagued his homeworld. While negotiating a peaceful resolution to a brutal conflict, Mace Windu befriended the then-eighteen-year-old Kota. Once the mission was completed, Mace sought to bring Kota to Coruscant to begin training in the Jedi arts with Jedi Master Yoda as tutor. He gained few friends due to his outward hostility, but his courage was known to all. Kota always opted for the most hazardous missions. He became a tough, grizzled general and participant in many combat sorties during the Clone Wars.
After escaping Order 66, Kota disappeared into the Outer Rim territories. During the Jedi Purge, he and his followers took over a TIE fighter construction yard over Nar Shaddaa, and were hunted down by an apprentice of Darth Vader.
Kota believed that the apprentice had a far greater calling than just as Darth Vader's servant. At some time later, he helped Kota rekindle his connection to the Force, which he had lost later in his life. He carried a green lightsaber.
