Legend

this Alwari Ansionian was outcast from Tasbir clan because of an accident which left him without an arm and mentally damaged. While the arm was replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis, Kyakhta's mind was rendered almost useless. He was employed by Soergg the Hutt for his lack of a mind, in the hopes that the Ansionian could approach the Jedi Knights who were on Ansion to mediate a settlement between the Alwari and the city dwellers. Soergg wanted to kidnap either Anakin Skywalker or Barriss Offee, in an effort to force the Jedi to abandon their efforts in search of the Padawan. Working with Bulgan, the two feeble Ansionians managed to capture Barriss Offee, but were unprepared when she offered to fix their mental deficiencies. Barriss was able to use the Force to repair the mental damage done to both Kyakhta and Bulgan, and the two Ansionians suddenly found themselves able to think and communicate with incredible dexterity. Both also pledged their support to help the Jedi. They were able to guide the Jedi Knights to the Borokii overclan, where Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli convinced the Alwari join the city dwellers in agreeing to remain with the Old Republic instead of seceding.
