Zaalbar

Zaalbar was a Wookie who aided Revan in his quest to find the Star Maps.

Son of the Wookie chieftain Freyyr, Zaalbar was born on the planet Kashyyk. After being exiled from Kashyyk for being a madclaw, Zaalbar travelled to Taris, where he met the young Twi'lek Mission Vao. The unlikely, yet inseperable friends lived in the lower slum area of the planet.

Shortly after Revans arrival on Taris, Zaalbar was captured by Gamorrean slavers. After being freed by Revan, he swore a lifedebt to the former Sith Lord.

When Revan and his companions arrived on Kashyyk, where Chuundar, Zaalbar's brother, has seized power from his father over the Wookies, the Wookie was imprisoned by his brother for not honoring his exile. Revan learned that Chuundar sold several of his fellow Wookiees to the Czerka Corporation, but only a few Wookiees knew this, the rest saw him as a great hero. Chuundar asked Revan to kill an enraged Wookie exile in the Shadowlands beneath the planet's mighty trees, which upon further investigation, turned out to be Freyyr, Zaalbar and Chuundar's father. Revan helped Freyyr retrieve Bacca's Blade, a mighty double-bladed sword, and then led a revolt against Chuundar and Czerka, killing Chuundar. Freyyr resumed his position as chieftain, and Zaalbar rejoined Revan in his quest.
