Teshik Kre'shar

The wookiee Teshik Kre'shar was always in the public eye, though he alternated between being heralded as a hero or vilified as a great evil. He worked with the Rebellion to bring the downfall of the Empire, making him one of the Imperial Remnant's most wanted targets. He was captured at least twice, once being rescued by the twi'lek Ria'gan Kale - to whom he swore a lifedebt. After his second capture, he was turned to the dark side and became the evil he had previously sought to destroy. Though eventually returned to the Republic and the light side, his encounter haunted him. Teshik finally removed himself from the spotlight, retreating to the darkest corners of the galaxy where even his closest friends couldn't find him. He returned as an adherent of the Balance, believing that without evil, good could not exist. His fanatic belief eventually led him to strike against the Republic. His former friends were forced to war with Teshik's forces. While Bubba Rieekan directed the space battle, Ria'gan led a strike team to face the wookiee himself. Though unable to kill Teshik herself, Ria'gan gave her team the opening they needed to end the wookiee's tragic life.
