Malek

"Come on, guys! We have to show this Sith Lord what we're made of!!"

- Malek Grugno, to Anakin Skywalker and Rizion Concorkill.

Malek Grugno was a Jedi Padawan, turned Sith Acolyte, turned Sith Apprentice. He, Rizion Concorkill, and Anakin Skywalker were considered the best combination of a Padawan Special Operations team ever.

Early life
He was born on Neimoidia, and, -as red skinned Neimoidians are considered ugly, - was thrown out of the hive. Hungry and scared, he would have been eaten by another Neimoidian if Jedi Master Plo Koon hadn't noticed his force ability. He was trained as a Jedi Youngling, with Plo Koon eventually taking him on as his Padawan.
