Legend

this former Jedi Padawan was headstrong and proud, traits that worried his Master. In order to teach Dyshkava a lesson about patience, his Master dispatched Dyshkava to moderate the negotiations at an importance conference, many years before the Battle of Naboo. When a group of terrorists attacked the conference and took hostages, Dyshkava found himseld cut off from his Master. Instead of thinking the situation through, he drew on the power of the Dark Side of the Force and began stalking the terrorists. Within a day, Dyshkava had managed to strangle all the terrorists with the Force, never endangering the hostages. This didn't sit well with the Jedi Council, however, and Dyshkava was forced to flee into the Outer Rim. He spent many years hiding from the rest of the galaxy, avoiding contact with the Jedi at all costs. In order to survive, he began ambushing supply ships owned by Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies, and eventually made his way to Lamaredd. There, he was known as The Padawan, and his activities eventually earned him the ire of Chief of Security Ertine. A mission to capture Dyshkava failed badly, and the sole survivor of the mission - Mix Liddell - was named the new Chief. Liddell was able to lure Dyshkava out of hiding and captured him, but Dyshkava managed to escape. He was never seen again, and was believed to have fled Lamaredd as soon as he was free. However, the Padawan never actually left Lamaredd, and eked out a humble living in Bartyn's Landing under a series of disguises. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the dying, 104-year-old Dyshkava came out of hiding to end his life in a slugthrower duel. He accosted a group of newly-arrived freelancers, and challenged them to a duel. After being shot, Dyshkava's true identity was revealed to Liddell, and he told of his years of imprisonment at the hands of the Menahuun.
