Legend

this Yuuzhan Vong Prefect was in command of the worldship Harla during the early stages of the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. His broad-faced visage was heavily scarred, but Drathul considered himself a handsome Yuuzhan Vong individual. Despite Nom Anor's failure at Helska and the loss of the priestess Elan, Drathul grudgingly decided to keep Anor at the forefront of the invasion. Drathul was eventually promoted to High Prefect, overcoming his support for the outcast Nom Anor and becoming one of Supreme Overlord Shimrra's closest advisors. He soon found himself under closer scrutiny, however, as the Jedi Heresy spread across Coruscant and many of his subordinates were found to be involved with the movement. Much of the evidence of their own involvement was actually planted by Nom Anor himself, who had adopted the name Yu'shaa, as the Prophet of The Message. Drathul remained loyal to Shimrra, however, and bore the Supreme Overlord's criticism and scrutiny with solemn dignity. However, as the Galactic Alliance continued to win battles and as evidence mounted as to Shimrra's past treachery, Drathul began to doubt his Supreme Overlord. He even voiced his desire to join the Quorealists to Nom Anor, who was beholden to Drathul as the prefect of Yuuzhan'tar. When the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance made a final push to recapture the planet Coruscant, Drathul remained at Shimrra's side, until the ground forces of the Alliance reached the Citadel and began moving on the Well of the World Brain. Along with High Priest Jakan and Qelah Kwaad, Drathul descended from the Citadel and traveled to the Well to anoint the Jedi who were captured there. Among those captured were Harrar, Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, and Drathul demanded that they be captured and held as sacrifices. His plans 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, Nom Anor was free, clutching at Drathul's neck and strangling him to death.
