Legend

this man served the Old Republic as an officer of the Ministry of Licenses and Permits during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He considered himself an ecxellent hand-to-hand fighter, having won the Ministry's own internal tournament eight years running before was assigned to the Intelligence agency, just after the Battle of Geonosis. For his first mission, Cherek was placed in command of the rescue of Edbit Teeks from the planet Tarhassan. Like most of the rest of the team, Cherek was a rookie, and relied more on his bureaucratic training than his gut instincts. Every step of the mission had to be completely planned out, and execution could not waver if they were to succeed. This grated on Joram Kithe and his partner, Mapper Gann, who had survived an earlier mission on Pengalan IV only through their quick thinking and ability to improvise. Tuhm became extremely flustered by Joram's initiative during the mission, especially when Joram and Mapper reworked the team's original plan in order to break Teeks out of prison. During the daring rescue, Tuhm took a blaster bolt in the chest and was badly wounded. He survived the injury, however, and received medical treatment durnig the team's return to Coruscant.
