Legend

this individual was the former High Shaman of the Order of the Terrible Glare. He was the sole survivor of the war with the Jedi Knights that wiped out the Order. A humanoid with thick cranial nodules on his bald pate, Rur placed an image of himself within the Portal Desolate on Garn, in order to guard the Order's secrets and exact a future revenge on the Jedi. He placed his image within a computerm and left it on standby, waiting for the Jedi to return. When Luke Skywalker discovered the Portal sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Rur demanded information on the Jedi. Luke told him that a great deal of time had passed since the creation of the Portal, and that Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader had purged the galaxy of the Jedi. The computer which generated Rur's image was unable to reconcile the huge gulf of time that elapsed, or the fact that the Jedi was gone. The computer overloaded and exploded, destroying the last vestiges of Rur.
