Legend

this Jedi Knight accompanied Klin-Fa Gi on a mission to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong ranks, during the height of the New Republic's struggle against the alien invaders. Unfortunately, both Jedi were captured and enslaved aboard a Shaper's worldship. They discovered that the Shapers had been working to devise a method of exterminating the Jedi Knights, and managed to steal a qahsa with information on the project. They fled captivity and tried to return to the Republic, but Bey was recaptured by the Yuuzhan Vong and Klin-Fa was nearly incarcerated on Bonadan. Klin-Fa convinced Uldir Lochett and the crew of the No Luck Required to launch a rescue attempt for Bey, after returning to Wayland to recover the organic key to the qahsa. Unknown to his friends, Bey had been twisted by the Yuuzhan Vong, and was actually the delivery mechanism for the Shaper virus developed to destroy alazhi trees. He had become disenchanted by Klin-Fa's attention to Yabaley, a fact that shattered his fragile mind. He decided to help the Yuuzhan Vong destroy bacta, then believed he could kill them himself afterward. A Shaper's villip was implanted in his skull, allowing Viith Yalu and Tsaa Qalu to communicate with Bey and give him his orders. He nearly succeeded in tricking his friends to bring him to Thyferra, but Uldir figured out that Bey was the carrier. Bey was cut down in a lightsaber battle with Klin-Fa and Uldir, and the small amount of virus he was able to disperse was quickly eradicated.
