Huyang was a Mark IV architect droid who served the Jedi Order for over a thousand generations as a professor of lightsaber construction. Based aboard the Jedi vessel Crucible, he guided younglings through the Gathering, aiding them in fashioning their own lightsabers after they retrieved kyber crystals; among his pupils were future Grand Master Yoda and Jedi Master Mace Windu.
Nicknamed the Professor, Huyang combined encyclopedic knowledge of Jedi history with dry wit, teaching lessons on the History of the Galaxy alongside his hands-on instruction. He accompanied Padawan Ahsoka Tano and a group of initiates to Ilum during the Clone Wars, and survived the Great Jedi Purge and the reign of the Galactic Empire.
In later years Huyang remained a companion to Ahsoka Tano, assisting her in training Sabine Wren and in the search for Grand Admiral Thrawn and the missing Jedi Ezra Bridger.
