Legend

this Anzati Dark Jedi haunted Quinlan Vos' past. At one time, many decades before the Battle of Naboo, he was a student of the Force at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, despite the Jedi Council's underlying apprehension at training an Anzat. Volfe Karkko was arrogant, believing that he could overcome his species' innate desire to consume the "soup" of another being's brain. In his arrogance, Volfe Karkko told himself that tasting the soup just once would not affect him, but instead it made Karkko desire to feed quite often. He even fed on other Jedi, gathering a measure of their strength in the Force, and eventually used his control of the Force to trap and consume other beings. When he turned to the Dark Side of the Force, the Jedi Council was forced to trap him in a stasis field on the prison world of Kiffex, where he languished for many years. The Jedi placed his lightsaber in a smaller stasis field, as a warning to other Jedi about what he had become. However, the Dark Side energy that surrounded him twisted the local population of Anzati, turning them into feral beings who survived simply to do his bidding. Volfe Karkko managed to attract the attention of Aayla Secura, who traveled to Kiffex to kill her former master, Quinlan Vos. She released Volfe Karkko from his stasis, allowing him to obtain complete control of the feral Anzati. Volfe Karkko took her as his Queen, and groomed her to become an extension of his Dark Side powers. However, Vos returned to Kiffex with the Jedi Knights, and defeated Karkko in combat. Quinlan nearly succumbed to the Dark Side, but the combined contact of Masters T'ra Saa, Tholme, Zao, Mace Windu, Adi Gallia, and Plo Koon gave him the strength to resist the temptation of the Dark Side. Vos cut Karkko in half with his lightsaber, eliminating the Anzati threat.
