A Human male native of the Inner Rim planet Onderon , Rask was a street preacher and philosopher in the years leading up to the Great Sith War . Rask was a member of the Naddist cult , which worshiped former Jedi and deceased Dark Lord of the Sith Freedon Nadd , who ruled Onderon with the dark side centuries before Rask ' s lifetime . Rask eventually had a son , Nebo , who joined him in preaching the Naddist rhetoric to the people of Onderon ' s capital city of Iziz . However , their messages were very unpopular with the general public , who were happy that the Naddist monarchy fell in 3998 BBY . During their sermons , the father - and - son duo espoused the virtues of Naddist rule and denounced the Jedi Knights , whom they blamed for the downfall of the dark side - following Onderonian government . Although Rask and his son ' s views were despised by their target audience , the Jedi refused to arrest them , as they had not technically committed any crimes . On one day in 3997 BBY , Rask and Nebo took to the streets to deliver their usual Naddist sermon . The two preached from the base of a statue in an Iziz courtyard and attracted a large , angry mob of people who had grown tired of their propaganda . The crowd began hurling rocks and other projectiles at the duo . However , a lone Jedi Knight named Exar Kun , stepped out of the crowd and prevented the mob from continuing their attack , defending Rask and Nebo ' s right to free speech . Although the father and son were skeptical at a Jedi Knight interceding on their behalf , Kun clarified that he believed that the two Naddists could help him . Kun revealed his desire to learn the secrets of the dark side of the Force , and after promising them gold , he enlisted Rask and Nebo in guiding him to the Tomb of Freedon Nadd . The three flew a shuttle to the moon Dxun where the tomb was located , finally reaching the Sith Lord ' s mausoleum . Kun proceeded to the tomb alone , assuring that Rask and Nebo would get a hefty reward if he found what he sought within . The two watched as Kun cut a hole in the side of the tomb with his lightsaber , and when Kun returned , Rask and Nebo pulled blasters on the Jedi Knight . Calling Kun a tomb desecrator , the two Naddists demanded that he hand over the Sith scroll s he had gathered while in the tomb ; enraged , Kun killed the father and son with his lightsaber . Personality and traits . Rask was very devoted to the Naddist cause , to the extent that he continued to ardently and vocally support the concept of a Naddist regime even after the fall of the dark side monarchy . He was a very bold public speaker , unafraid to talk about unpopular subjects in front of a crowd . Rask held an admiration for former Onderonian monarchs King Ommin and Queen Amanoa , and praised Freedon Nadd for bringing the people of Iziz protection against the wild beasts of Onderon ' s wilderness . Both Rask and his son despised the Jedi Knights , and were accordingly surprised and skeptical when Exar Kun protected them from a rock - wielding mob . As Naddists , both Rask and Nebo held a measure of reverence toward Nadd ' s tomb and were quick to accost Kun with blasters when the Jedi Knight , in their eyes , desecrated it . Behind the scenes .
