Unidentified male pilot

"I saw my father give it to a pilot who had been badly burned in a chemical explosion. His friends brought him here, but by the time they arrived he had been driven mad with pain. The senflax took the pain away while leaving the pilot still able to answer questions about what chemicals he had been transporting so that my father would best know how to treat him."

- Serra, on the effects of synflax

At some point between 1,008 BBY and 992 BBY, a male pilot was transporting a cargo of chemicals. The chemicals exploded, leaving the pilot with severe burns, and the pain drove him mad. The pilot's friends then took him to the healer Caleb on the planet Ambria. There, Caleb injected the pilot with senflax, a neurotoxin that disrupted the nerves of the primary muscles, paralyzing them, but still allowing the patient to talk. After the toxin eased his pain, the pilot was able to tell Caleb about the chemicals he had transported, allowing the healer to administer proper treatment. Caleb's daughter&mdash;who would eventually become Princess Serra of the planet Doan&mdash;was also present during these events, and she took notice of the effects of synflax, which she later used in the capture of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane in 980 BBY.

Behind the scenes
This pilot was briefly mentioned in Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil, a 2009 novel by Drew Karpyshyn. The pilot's species was not established in the novel, and it was not revealed whether Caleb's treatment helped him to recover.
