Biography
A human male, Ky Narec became a member of the Jedi Order some time before the galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars broke out.[1] After becoming a Jedi Knight, Narec became stranded on the planet Rattatak[2] and, during one encounter with Weequay raiders, witnessed a young Force-sensitive Dathomirian girl named Asajj Ventress use the Force to throw one of the raiders. Narec took Ventress under his wing and trained her in the ways of the Jedi.[1]The two Jedi, now Master and apprentice, remained on Rattatak for the next ten years, aiding its people and being regarded as heroes by most.[2] During another attack by Weequay raiders, Narec was shot in the back with a sniper rifle and died in Ventress's arms. Enraged by her Master's death, Ventress took Narec's lightsaber and struck down the sniper in a fit of rage, becoming the first step in her path to the dark side.[1]
