Lo Bukk

"I am Master Ni-Cada. And this is Padawan Lo Bukk."

- Ni-Cada talking to Plagueis

Lo Bukk was a Zabrak male who served the Galactic Republic affiliated Jedi Order as a Padawan thirty five years before the onset of the Clone Wars. His Jedi Master Ni-Cada and he and were sent by the Order to the world of Abraxin to investigate the continuous killing of marsh haunts, which were being carried out by the Force-sensitive Nautolan Naat Lare. On the planet, the Jedi unknowingly crossed paths with the Muun Sith Lord Darth Plagueis, who was also looking for Lare. After Plagueis managed to make contact with Lare, the Muun convinced him into taking the offence against the Jedi as proof of his worthiness to join the Sith; the resulting skirmish was short, in which Bukk's master killed Lare.

Biography
"Master?" "It's done. He's dead."

- Lo Bukk and Ni-Cada, after Ni Cada kills Naat Lare

Lo Bukk was a male Zabrak Jedi Padawan of Jedi Master Ni-Cada, and served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic thirty five years before the confrontation between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems known as the Clone Wars. He and Ni-Cada were sent by the Order to the swampy planet Abraxin in the Tion Cluster, to investigate the continuous killing of non-sentient Marsh haunts, who where red-eyed gray and green skinned creatures. The killing of marsh haunt were committed by the Naat Lare, a Force-sensitive Nautolan selected by Darth Venamis, a prospective male Bith Sith Lord of the lineage of Darth Bane, as a potential Sith apprentice.

During their stay on Abraxin, the Muun Sith Lord Darth Plagueis passed by them disguised while the Jedi were bargaining with a member of the Barabel species, who were cold-blooded reptilians from the planet Barab I, for a water skimmer. Both of them felt Plagueis' presence, though did not identify him as a Sith, a group of Force-sensitives who utilized the dark side of the Force. Later, as Bukk and his master emerged from an eatery bearing flagons of liquid, they unknowingly crossed paths with Darth Plagueis once again, and later talked with the Muun, who was also secretly seeking Lare, as they sat at a table and talked with the Muun. Plagueis managed to make contact with Lare and convinced him into taking the offence against the Jedi as proof of Lare's worthiness to join the Sith. The Jedi tracked Lare to with the skimmer, and after a short skirmish, which was fought near the water, Lare was killed by Ni-Cada.
