Legend

this huge man was easily distinguished by his smashed-in face, one crushed eye, and muscular physique. He was one of the most wanted criminals in the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War, with a death sentence in over two dozen systems. He was wanted by the Empire, the Alliance, and even Black Sun for committing over 90 murders. Each time he murdered, Karkas carved the letter 'K' in his victim's forehead. Part of the time, Karkas was working for Jabba the Hutt. Karkas had agreed to submit to the B'omarr monk brain removal operation, which would allow Karkas' brain to be placed into another person's body, allowing Karkas to continue his criminal actions. However, Zak Arranda allowed the prisoner Jabba had held for Karkas' brain to escape, so Jabba transferred Karkas' brain to Zak's sister, Tash. They had plans to transfer Karkas' brain into the Shi'ido body of Hoole, but Hoole and Zak foiled their plans.
