Legend

this was the only name given to the former leader of the tribes of Kariek, although many of the planet's natives referred to him as the Glorious Majesty. No Lakra or Eickarie had ever seen what the Warlord looked like, as he was always dressed in ornate armor. The Warlord took control of the planet about four years after the Battle of Naboo, establishing his seat of power in the fortress of the ancient Cro-sal-trei tribe. He ruled Kariek through wanton violence, which led many to believe that the Warlord was a member of the Lakra race. However, he maintained a small contingent of support among the Eickarie, despite his aggression toward their race as a whole. When the United Tribes of Kariek was formed many years after the Battle of Endor, the Warlord retreated to his fortress and made every effort to disrupt the efforts of the UTK to bring lasting peace of Kariek. The UTK requested the assistance of the Empire of the Hand in eliminating the Warlord, twenty-two years after the Battle of Endor. Although the stormtroopers of the Imperial 501st Legion had no problem bringing the Warlord down, they were hesitant to eliminate any of the Eickarie he held prisoner. Aurek Company decided to join forces with Su-mil and his Eickarie soldiers, striking a deal to help free a group of Eickarie prisoners in exchange for gaining access to the Warlord's fortress and capturing him alive. Both sides honored their agreement, and they found the Warlord holed up in a chamber deep inside the fortress. Su-mil and his Eickaries raced ahead, swiftly eliminating the Warlord's bodyguards and capturing the Warlord. Su-mil then turned the dictator over to Twister and his stormtroopers. It was later learned that the Warlord was neither an Eickarie nor a Lakra, but his true race was unknown to either the New Republic or the Imperial Remnant.
