R'cardo Sooflie IX
this Lannik served as the Crown Prince and ruler of the planet Lannik, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. His abrupt and terse nature earned him the ire of the Lannik people. Despite the fact that the Jedi Master Even Piell - himself a Lannik - saved R'cardo's parents from death at the hands of the Red Iaro, Prince Sooflie paid the Jedi little heed. In fact, Prince Sooflie was quoted as denouncing Piell's effort, claiming that he could have become Prince sooner if the Jedi hadn't interfered. Prince Soofliee even rebuffed his chief advisor, Hutar Zash, in the public forum of the peace negoations with the Red Iaro, on the planet Malastare, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. It was Sooflie's actions which forced the Red Iaro to alter their philosophy, and their terrorist activities were changed to ousting Sooflie in favor of the old regime. Sooflie was briefly captured by the Red Iaro, but was freed when the Jedi intervened. He left Malastare without a full treaty, and gruffly failed to thank the Jedi for his life.
