Legend

this young Yuuzhan Vong Shaper served under Nen Yim during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong conquest of the planet Coruscant. She was a member of Domain Kwaad, and was forced to continually make up for the shortcomings of Mezhan Kwaad. She suddenly found herself elevated to Master Shaper, however, when Nen Yim was captured and taken away from the planet Coruscant. She was elevated by Supreme Overlord Shimrra himself, who was unaware that Nen Yim had fled Coruscant of her own volition, hoping to locate the living planet Zonama Sekot. Her work on the magubat kan had brought her to the Overlord's attention, and her plans to develop biological weapons for use against the Jedi Knights gave her more power. She questioned Shimrra's decision to assign Ahsi Yim to serve as her assistant, in light of Nen Yim's disappearance, hoping to learn more about the Sekotan starship hidden in the Yim damutek. Her time for questioning these decisions was cut short when the Galactic Alliance launched its final assault on Coruscant, hoping to retake the planet and ultimately defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. When the ground forces of the Alliance reached the Citadel and began moving on the Well of the World Brain, Shimrra dispatched Qelah Kwaad - along with High Prefect Drathul and High Priest Jakan - to the Citadel. From there, they traveled to the Well to anoint the Jedi who had been captured there. Among those captured were Harrar, Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. Drathul's plans to sacrifice them were cut short when Nom Anor, leading Mara Jade Skywalker and a band of Shamed Ones, flooded the chamber and confronted the warriors arrayed before them. Drathul demanded that the captives be executed, but his commander instead turned his forces against Drathul's guards. In a flash, Qelah Kwaad ran from the chamber, but was caught by Han Solo and forced to lead them to the dhuryam. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi - who proved to be the true Supreme Overlord - Qelah Kwaad and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong agreed to surrender to the Galactic Alliance. In accordance with the advice of Jedi master Luke Skywalker, the Galactic Alliance allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to travel to Zonama Sekot to re-establish their civilization. The planetary consciousness Sekot welcomed them with open arms, then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow its new inhabitants to evolve in peace.
