Legend

this Rattatak warlord was known for his vicious lust for power. Sometime before the Clone Wars, Kirske murdered the parents of Asajj Ventress, an act that would come to haunt him later in life. After Ventress was taken in by Jedi Master Ky Narec, Kirske recognized that the pair were a threat to his power. He banded together with the other warlords to murder Narec, but Ventress managed to escape. With her training incomplete, Ventress gave into the anger and hate she felt at Kirske and the Jedi, and succombed to the Dark Side of the Force. In her anger, she hunted down and eventually captured Kirske and his supporters, locking them away in a dungeon to secure her own position as the leader of Rattatak. After the Battle of Jabiim, Kirkse was freed from prison by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who himself had managed to escape the dungeon. Despite their differences, Obi-Wan and Kirske agreed to work together to complete their escape, although Kirske ultimately wanted to make Ventress pay for her actions. He wsa unprepared for her skill, however, and attacked her without recognizing it. Ventress drew her lightsaber and beheaded Kirske before he could strike a single blow.
