Brother Nicos Fate
this elderly X'Ting was one of the longest-tenured members of the Desert Wind terrorist group, having survived with the band for more than twenty years before the onset of the Clone Wars. He was the decendant of a noted clan of healers, and made use of his own healing skills with the Desert Wind for many years. Under Thak Val Zsing' leadership, Brother Fate was often the individual who tested a new recruit's loyalty and desire to join the terrorists. He was in charge of maintaining the basket of dashta eels - known as The Guides - for testing new members. Brother Fate was among the many Cestians who settled in the Zantay Hills, where fertile land was abundant. After Desert Wind was infiltrated by JK-series combat droids, he took as many refugees as he could and fled to the Zantay area, where he hoped the terrorists could regroup. At Zantay, Brother Fate did what he could to help heal the wounds sustained by the ARC trooper known as Jangotat in the raid, but had to leave much of the healing up to Jangotat himself.
