From the Movies
A vast repository of information rested within the polished halls of the Jedi Archives. Serving as caretaker of this lore was Madame Jocasta Nu, the Jedi archivist. While her appearance was one of a frail, elderly woman, she possessed a sprightly demeanor and an abrupt temperament.
During Obi-Wan Kenobi's search for Senator Padm? Amidala's assassin, Jocasta Nu shared information about Count Dooku, a former Jedi much admired in the order. She was mystified, however, by Kenobi's search for the planet Kamino. As the world did not appear in the Archive records, Nu instantly concluded that the planet did not exist. So reliant was she on the Jedi Archive's data, she neglected to consider that perhaps the information could have been tampered with. This was but one example of Jedi complacency getting in the way of their service.
From the Expanded Universe
Jocasta Nu served as Archives Director for over 30 years, attending the position after a decade-long term on the Jedi Council. Her patterned robes bear the symbols of the Ansata, indicating devotion to knowledge and learning. Though not a frontline warrior, Jocasta still wore her lightsaber as testament to her younger days of field service. In addition to serving as custodian of the records, she would prepare mission briefs for Jedi taskforces and Knights on assignment.
