Yakun Kwaad

Yakun Kwaad was a Shaper Initiate of the Yuuzhan Vong. A member of Domain Kwaad, Yakun was an apprentice of Mezhan Kwaad. On the worldship Baanu Kor, Yakun tended the mernip pools with Nen Yim, Mezhan's other apprentice. Eventually, Yakun and Nen became lovers. However, like many of Domain Kwaad, Yakun began practicing heresy, and was latter arrested. Nen Yim never saw him again. Also, Yakun Kwaad was presumed to be dead, most likely after being sacrificed to the Gods. Nen Yim carried his memory, but almost never took time to remember her lover.

Tsun Qel, while investigating Mezhan Kwaad's shaping of Tahiri Veila, mentioned Yakun Kwaad's name to Nen Yim, to signify that he had been sent by Mezhan Kwaad. In truth, he had been sent by Master Shaper Yal Phaath.
