Ozrei N'takkilomandrife, also known as Knife, was a male Nagai and one of the foremost leaders of his species' invasion fleet during the Nagai–Tof War in 4 ABY. He commanded several early missions into territory belonging to the Alliance of Free Planets. The son of the scout Krai H'voc, Knife first encountered Alliance agents Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca when he tried to set up a slave ring on Kashyyyk using Chewbacca's family as hostages to keep the native Wookiees in line. His efforts were foiled by a Wookiee uprising, however.

During the invasion, Knife learned of his half-brother Bey and immediately befriended him, not showing any sign of discrimination against the half-breed. Shortly after his activities on Kashyyyk, he led an attack on the planet Kabray, but he and his commando squad were captured by the Alliance in the process. After being taken to an Alliance base on the Forest moon of Endor, Knife's brain was scanned by several telepathic Hoojibs, which revealed to the Alliance the full extent of the Nagai's invasion plans. As the Nagai fleet attacked, Knife was freed from his captivity by Bey, who was acting as a double agent.

Not long after, the Tofs&mdash;old enemies of the Nagai&mdash;followed the Nagai fleet into the known galaxy and began to inflict devastating losses on them. Despite Knife's reservations, the Nagai joined forces with the Alliance to repulse the greater threat. Knife had a hard time adapting to the new allegiance, constantly picking fights with Alliance warriors. However, the allegiance proved fruitful, and they managed to defeat the Tofs on the planet Saijo. With the conflict over, Knife returned with the Nagai fleet to their conquered home planet of Nagi to liberate it from the ruling Tofs.
