Chak (Wookiee)

"Very clever is Chak. [...] I think maybe is a little Devaronian in him."

- Vilmarh Grahrk

Chak, born Cha'ka, was a male Wookiee smuggler and captain of the Grinning Liar. He was a friend of ex-Jedi Cade Skywalker, and was known as a loyal friend—and a dangerous enemy.

Biography
Chak was the grandson of Gumbaeki, elder of the village of Palsaang, a village targetted by Trandoshan slavers, under the cover of the Battle of Kashyyk. During this time, the smuggler Vilmarh Grahrk, whom Chak affectionately referred to as "Uncle Villie," had been living in the village, smuggling goods to and from Kashyyk, especially Palsaang. During the year or so that Grahrk was with them, Chak served as co-pilot of Grahrk's ship, the Inferno.

Following the issue of Order 66, Chak also helped Grahrk's old friend Quinlan Vos survive assault by his own troopers in the jungles of Kashyyyk. He was responsible of the deaths of CT-1212 and CT-9662, two members of Bogey Squad.

Years later, Chak was present at the Battle of Kashyyyk.

Around 130 ABY he was the captain of the Grinning Liar, which was likely named after his old Devaronian mentor. He and his co-pilot, Kee, were often patrons of Rik's Cantina on Coruscant.
