A Jedi Master who saved the day during the Stark Hyper-
space Conflict by rallying the troops into a surprising
victory, Plo Koon was a powerful warrior who often took
decisive action to achieve his goals.
The Force ran strong in Plo Koon's family, and he came
from a long line of Kel Dor Jedi Knights. As Plo Koon, like
all Kel Dor, grew up in an atmosphere containing little
oxygen, he had to wear an anti-ox mask to filter out oxygen
while on other planets. He also had highly developed
extrasensory organs which increased his awareness
during conflict. Plo Koon was more martial a Jedi than
most. Kel Dor natives had a reputation for seeing moral issues in black and white, with clear distinctions between right and wrong. As such, he often took decisive action with little contemplation.
Though some would see this as a flaw - especially in a Jedi - Plo's decisiveness actually aided him and the Republic greatly during the Stark Hyperspace War. After Master Tyvokka - who was once Plo's Master - was killed, Plo rallied the Republic forces and led them to victory. His actions in the conflict granted him the title of Jedi Master, and a place on the Jedi High Council. Plo hoped his good friend, Qui-Gon Jinn, would someday sit on the Council also, but the maverick Jedi Master was killed by a Sith Lord during the Battle of Naboo. Plo attented his cremation, and the Naboo victory celebrations afterward.
