Legend

this young native of the planet Necropolis greeted Zak Arranda when the boy arrived on Necropolis with his sister Tash and their uncle, Hoole. The two became friends, until Kairn and his buddies dared Zak to enter the huge graveyard and travel to the Crypt of the Ancients in the dead of night. Zak agreed, but was confronted with the undead zombies that lived in the cemetary. Kairn tried to rescue Zak, but was captured and murdered by Evazan. Kairn was buried in a ceremony along with Evazan, but Kairn returned to the city the next day as a member of the reanimated dead. He had been the latest of Doctor Evazan's experiments, and a fairly successful one at that. Kairn's death provided Evazan with a freshly dead body, and proved that his reanimation serum was viable. Evazan himself had been killed by Boba Fett, but had injected himself with his reanimation serum and returned to life. Zak was caught up in Evazan's plans, and Kairn became just another zombie until Evazan tried to kill everyone in order to cover his tracks. When the droid D-V9 discovered a way to reverse the reanimation process, Kairn was ordered by Evazan to stop him. However, Kairn disobeyed Evazan and used the droid's new potion to halt the living dead and make them dead again. However, in the struggle, some of the potion got on Kairn's skin, and he was also killed.
