Legend

this Whiphid was a student of the Force, training under Master Micah Giiett in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was distraught after Lilit Twoseas gave her life to save him from a Yinchorri warrior on Yinchorr, and vowed to honor her sacrifice with his own actions. However, K'kruhk became disillusioned with the Jedi Council's growing military direction, as well as the growing corruption in the Senate. K'kruhk was believed to have died on Teyr, early in the Clone Wars, when the charge he was leading met with heavy resistance. The clone troopers under his command chose to press the attack despite the obvious losses it would incur on their force, but Master K'kruhk could not agree to such a sacrifice. He went into hiding, and it was soon discovered that he had decided to join the dissident Jedi Sora Bulq on Ruul in protest of the Jedi involvement in the war. When Asajj Ventress came to Ruul, ostensibly on the orders of Jedi Master Mace Windu to kill the dissidents, K'kruhk was the only member of the small band to support Windu's side of the story. He refused to believe that the Jedi Master had sent the assassin, and he was proven correct when Master Bulq revealed that he had turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Unfortunately, Master K'kruhk was badly injured in a lightsaber duel with Ventress shortly afterward. Only the timely intervention of Master Windu allowed K'kruhk to escape. When it was revealed that Bulq and Ventress were in league with each other, K'kruhk and Jeisel decided to rejoin Master Windu, at least in order to eliminate the threat they posed. He agreed to return to Coruscant, in the hopes of teaching his fellow Jedi about the different faces of evil they were facing in the galaxy. It was on Coruscant that Master K'kruhk was assigned to protect Senator Viento, an assignment which he ultimately failed when Quinlan Voss took the Senator's life. K'kruhk suffered many injuries in a fall, but eventually regained his health. However, as the Clone Wars ground on, K'kruhk was forced to return to the battlefield. During the mission to destroy the droid foundries on Hypori, K'kruhk was gravely wounded in the fighting by General Grievous. He managed to escape, and later served with Master Jeisel during the siege of Saleucami. Masters K'Kruhk and Jeisel were placed in charge of the ground forces that attacked the Separatist stronghold on the planet, ultimately destroying the primary shield generator that protected the cloning facilities for the Shadow Army.
