Legend

this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived with Vuurok I'pan beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Like the rest of their cadre, Kunra believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. He was a former warrior, and was more than confused when I'pan returned one day with Nom Anor at his side. Like Niiriit Esh, Kunra had heard of Nom Anor's duplicitous ways, and did not trust the former Executor to remain loyal to their band. Kunra argued against telling Nom Anor of the legend of Vua Rapuung, but was outvoted. This did nothing to ease his suspicion, however. Nom Anor also woke an angry sentiment from Kunra when Niiriit Esh began spending more time with the outsider, rather than with Kunra. When their small band was discovered by Yuuzhan Vong warriors, Kunra fled in terror, fearing for his own life. He located Nom Anor, who blamed Kunra's shaming on his deep-seated cowardice. Kunra did nothing to change Nom Anor's mind, and reluctantly agreed to accompany Shoon-mi and the former Executor on a mission of survival. Nom Anor, having adopted the name Yu'shaa, began to spread The Message to the rest of the Shamed Ones on Coruscant. As the only being who knew of the Prophet's true identity, Kunra held some measure of power over Nom Anor, but remained subordinate. When Shoon-Mi attempted to assassinate the Prophet, Kunra intervened and saved him from death, gaining another measure of control over the former Executor. When Nom Anor returned from his mission to locate Zonama Sekot, bringing warnings of Shimrra's plans to eradicate the Shamed Ones, Kunra refused to let him renege on his promise to lead the Shamed Ones to power. As Nom Anor wore the guise of Yu'shaa and pleaded with the masses to avoid the Supreme Overlord, Kunra simply twisted the words into fanatical demands for more pressure on the Yuuzhan Vong elite.
