This article is about the in-universe character. You may be looking for Ryan Kaufman, the real-world author.

Ryan Kaufman was a sentient individual who was a translator of the Kaminoan language to Basic. Kaufman translated a Kaminoan myth of the magical and powerful god-beast Protas, and both his defeat and death due to a pod of the cetacean aiwha. The tale served to explain why the aiwha were accorded respect by all creatures in the oceans of the planet Kamino.[1]
