Lazith ' chika had authority over several members of the Rebel Alliance , even though he was not a military officer . He was commonly involved in briefings and debriefings of the Roughnecks , including Tay Vanis and the Green squad . Although his goals and background remained obscure , Lazith ' chika had earned the Reekeenes ' respect and , as such , was treated with deference by the Roughnecks . A member of a humanoid , but cadaverous , species , Lazith ' chika was considered to be frightening by Humans in his environment ; however , he was a good - natured being ; a trait that could be appreciated with a careful analysis of his behavior . Secretly Force - sensitive , Lazith ' chika feared the Galactic Empire ' s hunters of Jedi , and thus he hid his powers pretending to be an eccentric , inoffensive being . Biography . Santhou Lazith ' chika was a male alien of a humanoid species . He was said to belong to a long - lived race ; he himself claimed that he had traveled through the galaxy for more than two centuries , but he refused to elaborate further about his background . A Force - sensitive being , Lazith ' chika had learned to use the power of the Force to a certain extent , following a path different from that of the Jedi Order . During the reign of the Galactic Empire , Lazith ' chika believed that Emperor Palpatine ' s minions might pursue him because of his knowledge of the light side of the Force . Lazith ' chika thus decided to not demonstrate his skills and to pretend to be a harmless , comically mad being . At some point , Lazith ' chika came into contact with the mercenary Lens Reekeene and her husband , engineer Mikka Reekeene . The Reekeenes had joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic , in which Lens had become a high - level officer . Lazith ' chika revealed little of his past to the Reekeenes , but he earned their trust and became Mikka ' s main adviser , and Lens ' second adviser after Mikka . The Reekeenes and Lazith ' chika then founded the Reekeene ' s Roughnecks , a guerrilla organization that harassed Imperial forces in the Fakir sector . They intended to attract Imperial attention , diverting Imperial resources from engaging the Alliance Fleet . As the highest - ranking members of the Roughnecks , Lazith ' chika and the Reekeenes briefed the members of any sub - team and answered their questions . Also , as a security measure , a member of the Roughnecks who had been briefed for their mission could not speak with anyone except for Lazith ' chika or the Reekeenes . As such , in 0 ABY , Lazith ' chika aided Lens Reekeene while briefing the Roughnecks ' Green squad for a diplomatic mission on Masterhome . Reekeene and Lazith ' chika used holograms to confer with Green squad . After Reekene informed them of their goals , Lazith ' chika apprised them of the details on the people whom they were going to contact and the negotiations that might follow . Around this time , a silent , hooded Lazith ' chika joined the Reekeenes and Rebel Lieutenant Am Serro aboard the modified Tsukkian water freighter " Home " that served as the Roughnecks ' mobile headquarters to hear the report of special operative Tay " Tiree " Vanis ' twentieth operation . Vanis had failed to recruit new agents , but he had executed enough missions to force him into retirement as standard Rebel Alliance doctrine required agents to retire from the field after their twentieth mission . Nevertheless , Lens Reekeene assigned him a new job , and neither Lazith ' chika nor any of the other officers objected to this departure from policy . Personality and traits . Santhou Lazith ' chika was a cadaverous two - meter tall alien with sickly gray skin and eyes larger than a Human ' s . Although mostly humanoid , he had an extra joint in each leg and very low corporal temperature . Humans found his look ghoulish . Lazith ' chika played up this effect by favoring black robes and behaving in the dismally bombastic way used by gravediggers in B - series holofilms , speaking slowly and pretending to be pessimistic . Nevertheless , Lazith ' chika was a warm person and at times this trait showed through his disguise . Lazith ' chika had slight control over the Force , but he refused to publicly display his powers . He had also studied the planets of the galaxy , the species inhabiting them , and the languages those species spoke . Although he was considered a high - ranking officer of the Rebel Alliance , Lazith ' chika refused to wear an identifying patch because he disliked military insignia . Behind the scenes . Santhou Lazith ' chika first appeared in " The Long Shot Campaign " , a chapter of the role - playing book " Star Wars Campaign Pack " , written by Paul Murphy and published by West End Games in 1988 . " The Long Shot Campaign " was later re - published in 1994 , along with another campaign , in " Classic Campaigns " . He was first graphically depicted in the webcomic " " ( 2006 ) by Pablo Hidalgo . Lazith ' chika ' s role - playing stats follow the template " Alien student of the Force . " One of the features of the template is that the character belongs to a little - known species , in this case exemplified by the fact that no other character knows Lazith ' chika ' s species .
