Leektar/Legends

Leektar was on Ewok who lived on the forest moon of Endor. He lived with his brother Keoulkeech in Red Bush Grove, south of the famous Bright Tree Village. He was often upstaged by his brother due to Keoulkeech's medicinal and zoological talents, leading to great jealousy from Leektar towards his older brother. Leektar was calmed somewhat when he met Chesea, a female Ewok, and fathered three woklings with her.

However, Leektar's self-consciousness still remained, and he prayed for a greater status among his tribe to a plant said to be connected to the Leaf Queen, an Ewok god. The wish came true in a most unfortunate way, as an fire brought on by a bolt of lightning struck Red Bush Grove, leaving only Leektar alive. Leektar appointed himself to shaman to perform the proper rituals for his fallen brethren, then set out to find a new village.

During his search, Leektar happened upon the Imperial Army investigating the forest moon. As a group of Ewoks was confronted by the Imperial stormtroopers, Leektar rescued them with some well-placed shots from his bow and arrow. Following the Ewoks into Bright Tree Village, Leektar told of his life to the elders Chirpa and Logray. Chief Chirpa, recognizing Leektar's bravery, appointed him to the rare title of Honorary Elder.

Leektar would later fight in the Battle of Endor alongside the Rebel Alliance, repelling the Imperial forces from their peaceful sanctuary. Following the battle, Leektar found his brother Keoulkeech alive, curing the forest after the Empire's dark occupation had damaged it so greatly. Leektar's ultimate fate is as yet unknown.
