From the Movies
The Jedi High Council was isolated from the rest of the bustle of Coruscant, convening in a circular chamber high above the cityscape. One member of this august order was Even Piell, a diminutive Jedi Master who was present when Anakin Skywalker was brought before the Council for training. Even Piell was a small humanoid with pink skin, large drooping ears, a topknot and a scarred face.
From the Expanded Universe
The humorless and fierce Piell hails from Lannik, a planet long plagued by violence. Corellian diplomats attempted to help the struggling world, but were ambushed by Red Iaro terrorists in the heart of the Lannik High Court. Even Piell came to their rescue, and single-handedly defeated seven attackers, though he lost his left eye in the melee. The daughter of the diplomats, the Jedi Adi Gallia, had long felt indebted to Piell. Piell carried his scar as a badge of pride and symbol of his honor, bravery and persistence.
Behind the Scenes
Though there are superficial resemblances to Yoda (small build, long ears), Piell was not intended to be the same species as the centuries old Jedi Master. Actor Michaela Cottrell, under heavy make-up, played the role of Piell.
