Gilthos Uksaris Gilthos Uksaris was the founder and manager of The Twisted Rancor Trio . Biography . Gilthos Uksaris originally founded the Twisted Rancor Trio to earn a date with a young singer named Elinda . Scrambling to find musicians to complete the band , he discovered the Bith Ujaa , hiring him alongside his brother Ujii to form the first incarnation of the group . The band struggled in its early days due to Ujaa ' s mediocre skills as a musician . The frustrated Elinda eventually threatened to quit if Ujaa was not dismissed . Unwilling to lose her , Uksaris acquiesced , firing Ujaa and replacing him with another Bith Loopa . This development displeased Ujii who followed his brother out of the band . To fill this vacancy , Uksaris agreed to Loopa ' s recommendation Fodo . This new composition of the Twisted Rancor Trio proved far more successful than its predecessor , and it soon began to rise in prominence . On Taris , its homeworld , the band was especially popular , as the public greatly admired Elinda ' s voice . Such was their growing reputation that around 3956 BBY they attracted the attention of the powerful businessman Davik Kang , who was in actuality the head of the crime syndicate the Exchange . Kang invited the band to play at his estate , but while Kang ' s connections to the Exchange were not expressly known to the public , enough rumors abounded that Elinda became fearful of performing for him . Indeed , Elinda and Uksaris both knew that if the band did not perform to the satisfaction of Kang , the crime lord ' s infamous temper could have dire consequences for their lives . Unlike Elinda , however , Uksaris was not intimidated by this prospect , believing that the opportunity of being propelled to stardom by Kang ' s sponsorship far outweighed the risks . Nevertheless , he was unable to dissuade Elinda from abandoning the band in the face of this invitation , and the group ' s existence threatened to crumble . As a last minute solution , Uksaris replaced Elinda with her sister Ashana on the eve of the scheduled performance . In 3956 BBY , Uksaris was in the process of writing a book detailing the history of the band titled " " . That same year , a friend delivered a package to him containing 50 credits and a suit of Echani fiber armor , all of which was placed inside a security crate protected by a Holo - Sec Corp anti - theft explosive at an apartment in the Lower City . With this delivery was a message from the friend reminding him that to disarm the trap and open the box safely , he only had to activate the surrounding holoprojectors of the members of the Twisted Rancor Trio in order of their recruitment , a task meant to be easy for him as he was the band ' s manager . The friend also expressed apprehension over Uksaris ' s choice to replace Elinda with Ashana , in light of the danger of incurring Kang ' s wrath should Ashana ultimately prove to be unable to fill in for her sister , and wished him good luck on his band ' s performance . Unfortunately for Uksaris , the Republic soldier Revan during the Sith quarantine of the planet discovered the crate himself and retrieved its contents for his own use when he visited the apartment . The draft of " Guts and Glory " left on a datapad on a nearby table easily provided him with the correct order of the band to disarm the trap . Behind the scenes . Gilthos Uksaris ' s existence and life is known only through the draft of " Guts and Glory : A Chronicle of The Amazing Story of The Twisted Rancor Trio " found by the player , Revan , in the video game " " . The unfinished chronicle only details up until the eve of the band ' s scheduled performance for Davik Kang , and as such the success or failure of Uksaris ' s plan to replace Elinda with Ashana is unknown .
