Legend

ths son of the Tion Hegemony's Counselor Harthan, Jake managed to acquire R2-D2 and C-3PO on Rudrig, after the droids left the service of Governor Wena on Kalarba. Jake later accompanied his father to Tahlboor. There, while his father was trying to work with the Hobors and Troobs to restore peace, Jake discovered the power of Mount Yeroc and the sky cannon. Hoping to obtain the power for himself, he set in motion a plan that would remove his father from the negotiations. This accomplished, Jake insinuated himself into the counselor's position. From there, he silently killed Ket Krax and tried to frame Larka Nimondro for the murder. Jake hoped that this would ignite a civil war, removing him to take control of Mount Yeroc. Unfortunately, the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO discovered that Jake was the culprit. Although they only had the simplest of evidence, C-3PO bluffed Jake by claiming to have a holo-vid of the crime taking place, as well as fingerprints. In truth, all the droids had was the vibro-shiv used to commit the crime. They knew that the Hobors never used vibro-shivs, and took an educated guess. Jake fell for the bluff and admitted to the crime, taking Madame Krax hostage. She bit his hand and distracted him long enough for a Troob to launch a spear at him. The shot was true, and Jake was killed when he fell into the sky cannon he so desired.
