Don-Wan Kihotay

Don-Won Kihotay was the alias of Hess Korrin, a librarian turned pseudo-Jedi Knight and acquaintance of Han Solo.

Biography
Hess Korrin was a Force-sensitive librarian who catalogued antiquities on Obroa-skai. He spent much of his time reading histories of the Jedi. With the rise of the New Order, his department was closed down by the Imperial Security Bureau.

Outraged, Korrin took it upon himself to preserve the memory of the Jedi. He was able to rescue a lightsaber from the antiquities department's collection before it was destroyed by the ISB. Delusional, he adopted the identity of Don-Wan Kihotay, the last of the Jedi Knights.

Knowing that Korrin's behavior would lead to his demise at the hands of the Empire, his Ithorian supervisor took him to Aduba-3. He was killed by the ISB, but Korrin/Kihotay somehow escaped detection.

When Han Solo was recruiting spacers to help him bring down Serji-X Arrogantus, Kihotay volunteered. The job became much bigger when a local shaman, the Old One, summoned the Behemoth from the World Below to also fight Arrogantus. Kihotay attempted to face the monster one-on-one, but Solo eventually took his lightsaber and was able to use it to defeat the monster.

After the events on Aduba-3, Kihotay went to Telos to recover. However, the medical station at which he was staying was destroyed in a mercenary attack, killing him.

Behind the Scenes
Kihotay's name was misspelled Don-Wan Kioti in Star Wars #9.

Don-Wan Kihotay is also a play on Don Quixote, a madman who thought he was a gallant knight in the classic Spanish novel, Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes.
