Studying at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Yord Fandar was an exemplary student and peer to Osha Aniseya. Yord cared deeply about upholding the status of the Jedi Order, which showed in both his dedication to finely-pressed temple robes and his disciplined scholarship. Among his studies, Yord learned the Tynnan language, a skill that served him on away missions that called for a tracker.

When Master Indara was killed by a woman identified as Osha, Yord and his Padawan Tasi Lowa were sent to arrest her. But she was able to escape when the prison transport taking her to Coruscant crashed on Carlac. Afterward, Yord assisted Jedi Master Sol on his mission to track down his former pupil. At first skeptical of Osha and her claims of her innocence, Yord realized she was telling the truth when Master Torbin was killed while Yord was following Osha on Olega. After her twin sister — Mae, the true culprit — got away, Yord was a part of the team that traveled to Khofar to find the Wookiee Jedi Kelnacca.

It would prove to be Yord’s final mission. Although a Tynnan tracker, Bazil, led them to Kelnacca’s shelter deep in the jungle, they arrived to find he’d been killed by a mysterious masked man known as the Stranger. On Sol’s orders, Yord tried to save Osha and get her back safely to the Polan. But she convinced Jedi Knight Fandar to double back and fight alongside the other Jedi, a noble effort that resulted in his demise.
