Biography[]
Infiltration of the Jedi Temple[]
- "You should be able to walk into the Archives and monitor us without a problem."
"Now that I am a Jedi, I can do that." - ―Cad Bane and Cato Parasitti, as the latter disguises herself as Ord Enisence[2]

Parasitti worked closely with Cad Bane.
During theClone Wars, Cato Parasitti was hired by fellowbounty hunterCad Bane to assist instealing aHolocron from theJedi Temple forSithLordDarth Sidious. UsingTodo 360's security chip for the temple, and schematics of the temple from the Sith Lord, Bane and Parasitti made their plans for the heist. Bane had Parasitti pose as the recently murderedJedi KnightOrd Enisence, to infiltrate theJedi Archives to help them from the inside.[2]

Parasitti defeated by Tano.
As Enisence, Parasitti was able to make her way into the Jedi archives. There, she ran into PadawanAhsoka Tano and after exchanging some words, told the young Padawan to leave her alone. She then proceeded to the library and gained access to a computer terminal, where she assisted Bane and Todo in bypassing the security systems. However, they were soon discovered and the Jedi Temple was put on high alert. WhenlibrarianJocasta Nu informed her of the matter, Parasitti knocked her out and took her form. It was not long however, before she was discovered and confronted by Tano. Despite her best efforts to fight her off, Tano was able to subdue her. It was then that Parasitti told her that Bane was trying to get into theHolocron Vault. After Kenobi and Skywalker failed in stopping Bane from stealing the holocron, Parasitti told them about Bane's next target; Jedi MasterBolla Ropal.[2] Parasitti eventually got out of Jedi custody.[4][5]
Disrupting negotiations[]
- "Is she on the guest list?"
"Um. No." - ―Ahsoka Tano and Padmé Amidala about Parasitti[6]

Parasitti's plot to disrupt the negotiations was foiled
Some time later, Parasitti attempted to disrupt negotiations withArthurian delegates inPadmé Amidala'sapartment[6] bybombing the reception.[7] She disguised herself asKarté, one ofSenator Amidala'shandmaidens and hid athermal detonator under a table. However, she made a mistake by setting the table with utensils, which the Arthurians never use, and was noticed by Ahsoka Tano, who was there for security. Parasitti attempted to kill Amidala by setting the detonator off, but that was soon foiled by Ahsoka and Amidala's teamwork and the explosive went of harmlessly in the air above the balcony of the apartment. Parasitti attempted to run away and was stopped with a piece of pottery, in the hands of the Senator, bashing her in the head and knocking her out.[6]
In20 BBY, she was present inChalmun's Spaceport Cantina on theplanetTatooine.[4][5]
