Takadox XIV (Last Barraki)

Takadox was a male rakata warlord (Barraki) and a member of the league of the six kingdoms. He ruled the southernmost kingdom within the league, including Naboo, Dagobah , Utapau , Hoth , Bespin , Mustafar and many planets in wild space. He also controlled several planets in the mid rim.

Takadox joined pridak in a rebellion against the architects in 50,000 BBY. When this failed, he was sentanced to death. But before he could be executed, Botar appeared and instead teleported him and the other Barraki to the pit of Ghalon Mahri. For millenia he was in suspended animation, until a massive asteroid impact destroyed the pit and freed the Barraki. However, contact with water caused their bodies to mutate.

For several years, takadox would sit in his cave and scheme, using his hypnotic powers to entrance nocturn and carapar, who provided him with food. When a second impact sank the city of Mahri Nui, Takadox began to plan an escape. Like the other Barraki he spent the next 5 years terrorizing and looting the city, trying to find the technology that could get him offworld.

When the mask of life was discovered beneath the ocean, takadox used it as part of his escape plan, bargaining with Karzahni to exchange the mask for a star cruiser. After Nocturn escaped with the mask, the Barraki turned their armies against one another. Like the others, Takadox managed to escape in one of the starships orbiting the planet.

His present whereabouts are unknown, but he must wear advanced breathing apparatus to survive normal atmospheric conditions, and he has been unable to reverse his mutations. Karzahni is still hunting him.

Biology and Appearance
Upon contact with the pit water, Takadox developed a hunchback shape. Armoured, luminous shells developed on his legs and arms. His mouth grew into a perpetual grin and thorns developed all over his body. He would also develop a bizarre insect stinger at his rear. Takadox glowed in the dark.

Personality and Traits.
Takadox was always a schemer and a coward. Before the rebellion he let minions deliver his orders while he was locked in his fortress. He never felt comfortable with Pridak's rebellion, but joined it anyway fearing he would miss out on the spoils should it succeed. When it failed Takadox begged for mercy just before being teleported to Ghalon Mahri by Botar. After reawakening, takadox found he had assumed a monstrous form.

He had already been a skilled hypnotist, but the fact that he now emitted eerie blue light seemed to enhance this power. He rarely ventured from his cave in the pit, relying on Nocturn and Carapar (whom he frequently entranced) to provide him with food.
