Kith Kark was a Gotal male who served as a Jedi Knight during the days of the Old Republic. He received his training under the Jedi Master Mroon Jassa on the planet of Truuine. During his life before becoming a Jedi, Kith was unusually sensitive, even for a Gotal, to the electromagnetic emissions given off by devices; as a result, he preferred to live away from major city centers, choosing instead to live in the wilderness of Antar 4.

Despite some initial troubles with beginning his training, Kith was able to become a successful apprentice of Master Jassa's, excelling in his Jedi lessons. When Mroon Jassa was unexpectedly called away for an indefinite amount of time, Kith traveled to the Jedi library world of Ossus in order to complete his training. He was chosen as one of five Jedi to be sent to Onderon to assist Ulic Qel-Droma during the Freedon Nadd Uprising. During the fight, a dark side wave of energy ripped down Kith's defenses, allowing fire from a Naddist cannon to hit the Gotal, leaving him mortally wounded. Kith died before seeing the resolution of the Naddist Revolt.
