Volfe Karkko

Volfe Karkko was an Anzati Jedi who lived hundreds of years before the rise of The Empire. He became a great and powerful Jedi, despite the fears held by some that the Anzati were too dangerous to become Jedi.

However, his skills made him arrogant. Karkko had never tasted the 'soup' that the Anzati crave - the blend of what you are and what you will be. Karkko believed he was above addictions, and felt there would be no harm in tasting the 'soup' just once. Thus, his arrogance caused him to fall. Karkko became addicted to the 'soup', even harvesting it from his fellow Jedi. He was eventually tracked down on the planet Kiffex, where he was defeated by at least four members of the Jedi Council.

The Jedi would not kill their prisoner, no matter how dangerous he had become. They remembered his glory as a Jedi, and new the importance he had to his kind. So, Karkko was placed in stasis on Kiffex, with hsi mind awake to contemplate what he had done. His lightsaber was left with him to remind Karkko of his past and to serve as a warning to others. His prison was sealed so that only a Jedi could open it.

Over the years, fellow Anzati were drawn to the prison of the one they called 'The Dreaming One'. It is believed that Karkko used the Force to leech away the vitality of the Anzati, strengthening himself and turning the Anzati feral.

Karkko was granted a chance to escape his prison in the year 30 BBY, when the enraged Aayla Secura crash-landed on Kiffex in her hunt for Quinlan Vos. Karkko drew on Secura's anger, influencing her to enter his prison and release him from stasis. He then waited with his army of degenerate Anzati, knowing that Jedi 'soup' would come to Kiffex when they discovered he was free.

Jedi did indeed come to Kiffex: Quinlan Vos, and Masters Tholme, Tr'a Saa and Zao. They tracked Karkko and Secura to the prison, though only Vos entered. After Vos had defeated and redeemed Secura, he attacked Karkko with all of his anger. However, this only strengthened Karkko, who prepared to feast on Vos' soup.

The Jedi outisde of the prison helped Vos to focus and let go of his anger, and with one swift strike Vis bisected Karkko, finally destroying the crazed Anzati.
