## Biographical Information

### Current Status

Deceased

Darth Quellik was the apprentice of the Sith Master Darth Intris, and his main enforcer against the Sith-Republic War. He was eventually killed by the Heroes of the Sith-Republic War.

## Background

Darth Quellik was born on Kashyyyk as Lyrenyyanyyk  to a loving family on Kashyyyk near Wyrkwroo Village.

As a young child Lyrenyyanyyk was kidnapped by slavers and sold to a mine. There he toiled for years, growing strong and hard. He lost his leg in a cave in caused by shoddy safety conditions; several slaves died in the accident. He was fitted with a crude peg leg and sent back to work. Lyrenyyanyyk made an attempt to escape after a slave revolt with several fellow slaves. During the revolt he vented his anger on many of the guards and overseers and it felt fantastic to him. He stole a ship with several other escaped slaves, but his ship was shot down and he was returned to his owners and tortured for weeks as punishment for his “misdeeds”. After toiling for years, suffering constant beatings and torture he was spotted by Darth Intris. Intris detected his nascent Force ability, he purchased Lyrenyyanyyk. He then trained him to be, ultimately, the most vicious Sith Warrior ever and dubbed him Darth Quellik in the Sith tradition.

## War Campaign

Quellik was the visible commander of the Sith war effort in the Sith-Republic War, and led several offensives directly. His personal might was unstoppable and he was said to have turned the tide on many land battles during the war.

As the Sith fought their way closer and closer to the Core, and with the war going badly for the Republic overall, Darth Quellik offered a cease fire if the Republic would surrender the Jedi to the Sith. While the Senate debated the ultimatum, the Republic launched a failed and bloody attack to attempt to retake Anaxsis. In retaliation the Sith fleet scourged Anaxsis from orbit and sent death squads to the planet to ensure the populace was further punished for the Republic’s actions. Quellik then issued a blistering statement that they were sneak attacked by the Republic while pursuing peace and for that the only thing that can prevent their utter destruction is the surrender of the Jedi.

Terrified at the threat (and the brutal destruction of Anaxis) many of the pro-Jedi voices in the senate were silenced and, led by Senator Kefla Katz from Kuat, Quellik’s terms are agreed to and she orders the Jedi to be surrendered to the Sith.

Quellik personally led the attack on the Jedi Temple, though he found that most of the Jedi had evacuated, with only a handful, led by Jedi Master Vellis Torth, staying behind to hide the fact that the temple had already been abandoned. Quellik slew several Jedi that day and personally dueled with Grand Master Vellis and killed him, though he suffered a brutal head wound that resulted in a cybernetic plate being attached to his head due to his permanent injuries.

After the battle Quellik appeared before the Senate, ostensibly to open peace talks, though this was a ruse. Instead he and his party slaughtered the majority of the Senators present (as well as much of the Senate Security). Among the dead was Senator Kefla Katz, slain by Quellik directly. Many of the Senators anticipated such a move, however, and were not in attendance.

## Death

Darth Quellik was killed at the Battle of Kuat. He led the ground invasion and personally attacked the Kuati headquarters with a number of his elite sith warriors. During the battle he slew several soldiers and Jedi, including the new Jedi Grand Master, Sun-Ri Atako.

However he was soon attacked by the newly arriving Heroes of the Sith-Republic War. They fired on Quellik directly from their ship, the *Pandora’s Box II*, though the rampaging Wookie shrugged off the attack and launched himself at the members of the group on the ground, hacking the leg off of Disinvolto in one fell swoop.

Despite his terrifying power, the heroes were able to slay Quellik, aided by more shots from the *Pandora’s Box II*.

## Personality and Appearance

Quellik was a fierce and brutal warrior with a rage at the universe that was sparked and flamed by the horrific treatment he suffered as a young Wookie. He was fiercely loyal to Darth Intris, viewing him as the only man who has ever cared for him.

Quellik was an all black wookiee with a prosthetic leg and (after a his duel with Jedi Grand Master Thoth) a metal plate in his head.
