Jak Denariss

Jak Denariss was a Kajain'sa'Nikto who was a member of Red Ancher's crew.

Early life
Jak Denariss was born on Kintan in 69 BBY. As a young Nikto Jak trained himself to be proficient with both vibroblades and blasters, although he preffered vibroblades. He eventually stumbled upon a small supply of phrik and built a pair of vibroblades with guard shoto like handles. He attempted to become a guard for a criminal but found that he disliked it and left. After hearing about a wanted mercanery hiding out on Phaeda he took up his vibroblades and hunted him down. He presented him to the man who had wanted the mercenery and was rewarded. Finding enjoyment in hunting people and collecting bounties he decided to become a bounty hunter.

Life as a bounty hunter
Jak continued to work as a bounty hunter for many years afterward and gained notoriety after he succesfully took down a Jedi under the order's of a Vigo for the Black Sun. Because of his skill he was approached by Red Ancher and invited to a meeting that he was holding. Intrigued, Jak agreed to be at the meeting point. At the meeting point Red told Jak and a group of other bounty hunters that he planned to start up a group of bounty hunters that would work together to capture wanted people and share the reward. Jak was silent when some others objected to the idea but had his doubts about a group of bounty hunters. However he decided to join Red despite his doubts. He quickly became friends with Nik Hamud and Lunaro Dell. He was suprised at how succesful the group was and how little infighting there was. He was shocked when the Republic branded the Jedi as traitors, and refused to believe it due to having what he believed to be a friendly rivalry with the Jedi. He and the other's were later hired by a rogue Jedi to help him fake his death and they complied. After the mission was completed the Jedi paid the bounty hunters to transport him to Ensolica, where he would remain behind whiule the bounty hunters left and took his padawan, Tett Gorshun with them. Jak was suprised by this but went along with it anyway. Jak trained Tett in several forms of combat and Tett did likewise. When Red was killed while on a mission, Jak was slow to accept Tett as their new leader, despite their friendship.

Later missions
In 2 BBY, The group was contacted by the Dark Jedi Cronal to eliminate another Dark Jedi on Nar Shaddaa. Jak, along with Nik Hamud, Tanodore Tanwa and Devriss Nordan was sent out to locate him. Nik searched one area of the bar while Jak, Tanodore and Devriss searched another. However they were not prepared for the strength of their quarry and Nik was quickly killed when the Dark Jedi used the force to smash a glow pole into the side of his face and when the others confronted him he used force lightning to stun Devriss before slamming him into the ground before turning on Jak. The two dueled while Tanodore looked on. Realizing that he couldn't win, Jak ordered the panicking Tanodore back to the ship. However when Tanodore turned to leave he was ambushed by the sudden arrival of a squad of Stormtroopers, who quickly gunned him down. Shocked by the sight, Jak lost his focus and the Dark Jedi used this to his advantage by throwing a table at Jak and then slamming his head into the table 3 times before throwing him away. Once he regained consciousness he saw that the Imperials had gone and that Devriss was still alive. He helped him up to his feet and the 2 staggered away. Once back at their ship they explained to the shocked Tett what had happened.
