Shak'Weth was a Human Sith Lord and the Blademaster of the Odacer-Faustin Sith academy in the years preceding, during, and after the Great Galactic War. While all students were subject to his tutelage, he often gave private training sessions to a young Sith Acolyte named Rance Lussk, the academy's premier apprentice. Eight years after the Sacking of Coruscant, a virulent outbreak overtook the student populace of the Odacer-Faustin academy, and Shak'Weth prepared to depart as mayhem rapidly consumed the planet. However, just outside the academy, the Blademaster encountered a wandering Jedi named Rojo Trace, whom he proceeded to duel. When it seemed as though he would emerge victorious, Shak'Weth was unexpectedly attacked and viciously gored to death by a victim of the plague: the reanimated corpse of one of the very students he had trained in lightsaber combat.
