Kadru sai Xantik

«*Ah, the Kaleesh! Yes, it is rare indeed to see a Kaleesh not in the employ of the Hutt Ruling Council these days.*»
―Sono Molec[src]

**Kadru sai Xantik** was a male Kaleesh warrior who was captured and sold into slavery alongside his brother Qysaam and sister Ronderu at the end of the Huk War. Twenty-one years later, he was part of a group who killed Sono Molec, the Prince of Kowak, and instigated a rebellion on Kowak.

## Biography

### Sold into slavery

Kadru sai Xantik was born on Kalee during the Huk War, a devastating conflict between the Kaleesh and the Yam'rii. He had an older brother, Qysaam, and a younger sister, Ronderu, both of whom were captured and sold into slavery just as he was shortly after the war concluded with the Galactic Republic's arrival. Ronderu was eventually separated from both of her brothers on Vual, bought by a Zygerrian who the brothers vowed to kill if they saw him again.

Kadru and his brother would remain together, being sold throughout Hutt Space and the Outer Rim Territories. Qysaam watched over Kadru as he created his *lig'qrata*, and eventually they ended up on Nar Shaddaa, where Qysaam was killed in a dispute with Dowutin gangsters. Kadru believed he dishonored his ancestors because he was unable to provide Qysaam with a proper Kaleesh funeral. At some point, Xantik encountered a Togruta slave mother whom he gave a ration bar to help her with her newborn. He also encountered a Thisspiasian who believed that it was pointless to fight for freedom.

### The Kowak rebellion

«*Illustrious One—*"
"*This slave would not harm a Prince. He simply must be taught his place.*»
―Beroya and Molec, on Xantik[src]

At some point, Xantik became the slave of Pen Tleida, a low-level crime lord, and when Tleida died he ended up on Kowak, in the slave pens beneath its capital city, Sclavos. Nam Beroya, a former Mandalorian and the Prince of Kowak's best gladiator, selected Xantik, as well as the Mikkian Sachi, the Nautolan Neaed Fisto, and a Skrilling, to be examined by Prince Sono Molec at his palace.

When they arrived there, Kadru sai Xantik was ordered to remove his *dazmakkh*, the traditional war mask of his people, by Molec, but in refusing he broke Molec's wrist and caused a melee which concluded with Molec's death at the hands of the Skrilling. In the process, Xantik and Sachi killed a Dowutin guard together. Afterwards, Xantik offered to train Sachi in combat but not before they would return to the slave pens to free the other slaves kept there.

## Personality and traits

«*You have not been a slave for long, Nam Beroya. You may know our language to some degree, but you have not experienced the brotherhood these chains forge.*»
―Kadru sai Xantik[src]

Kadru sai Xantik was a male Kaleesh with orange eyes. He was fluent in Huttese, Evki, and Kaleesh, and had been hardened by his experiences as a slave in Hutt Space. He was loyal and kind to his fellow enslaved people, wishing to free the others trapped in Sclavos' slave pens before heading to a safehouse.

## Skills and abilities

As a Kaleesh, Xantik was incredibly skilled with weapons, such as his *lig'qrata* and *shoni* spear, while also being incredibly strong. He was valued for his combat ability as a bodyguard by his slave owners.
