Praster Ommlen

Praster Ommlen was an Ottegan male who worked as a gunrunner before putting his life of crime behind him and becoming a devotee of the Sacred Ramulus, an Ithorian sect of worship. Around thirty years after the Battle of Endor, Ommlen spent time in the castle of the pirate Maz Kanata, where he offered spiritual advice to other criminals. While there he connected with the Narquois bandit Pru Sweevant and the Bravaisian gemologists Munduri and Sonsigo. He also witnessed the arrival of the smuggler Han Solo, who was accompanied by the scavenger Rey, the former stormtrooper Finn and the astromech droid BB-8. He was amongst the crowd of patrons that rushed out of the castle to watch the destruction of the Hosnian system by the First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon. Shortly after the terrifying spectacle ended, the castle itself was attacked and destroyed by the First Order. While at Maz Kanata's castle, Ommlen wore faded brown ascetic robes, which offered him little comfort. He had brown skin, black eyes and gray hair.
