Tek Krodak

**Tek Krodak** was a former slave of the Desilijic hutt clan on Tatooine. Born into slavery alongside his family and many in his Zabrak community, he distinguished himself among his peers using his high mechanical and technical aptitude.

When Blaine Hansom, Bota Zi, and Genos Ia'danian overthrew Zorba the Hutt in his son Jabba the Hutt's palace, he quickly joined the crew. Becoming a fast friend with Blaine, he helped him acquire Jabba's Space Cruiser and helped propel him to Baron Administrator.

Using his borg construct, he has created a network of slicers and uses them to gather information. Interestingly enough, he also has released a number of songs usually characterized for their remixed old republic marches and has gathered a following as a result. Previously a common fixture around Cloud City - and his group Slicers Synonymous still operates there - Tek has repaid his debt to its government and has accepted a position as an ambassadorial aide in the New Republic.

In his travels, he discovered the spark of the Force within him. Training under the newly-revived Jedi Master Dask Ra'tava, Tek joined the Twlight Council and forms a close bond with Droo Vos, eventually rising from the rank of an initiate to apprentice and constructing his own lightsaber.

On his new path to become a full-fledged Jedi Knight, Tek has encountered political intrigue, fierce space battles, and fights with truly colossal beings. With little time left for personal affairs, he has also encountered the enigmatic Shiri'ani on Tatooine and the fierce warrior Kirana Ti on Dathomir, and has left a cybernetic woman in the care of his mother on Tatooine.
