(Rodian), Undu Bevned (Weequay), and Tetna Progana (Kerkoidien). Although Undu was not truely a Sith and did not have The Force, the group was satisfied with his skill with a lightsaber. The group was known as "The Dark Hunters". The group went on many missions together. However their final mission was on Endor, when the Sith were paid by a another group that called themselves 'The Extremists'.
Mission to Endor []
In 48 BBY, the group were paid to kill two legendary jedi and sith. The jedi was a ancient Ewok that had unlocked the secret to immortality. Most people did not believe the Ewok, but when they passed away and she did not, the Ewok's claim became true. Her original name was unknown, but the Ewoks called her Endara . The second target had little known about him. He was a sith named Darth Dendar , and had a "special way" of lightsaber combat. The Extremists took the Bounty Hunters to Endor, and then left. The group made their way through the village, killing all who stood in their way. Finally, they found the home of Endara and engaged in combat with her. The Group underestimated her abilites though, and Undu lost his hand in the battle. Endara defeated Harkle by force pushing him and Serna out the window, but they survived. She then defeated Colran, Lapole, and Tetna, but chose to spare their life for some reason. She then escaped the village along with all the surviving Ewoks. The group then made their way to the hideout of Darth Dendar. Undu did not fight in the battle though do to his injury. The battle was a deadly one, Dendar, instead of weilding his lightsabers, used the force to throw them around, causing the group to be on extra watch during the fight. At one point during the fight, Traya was force pushed through a window into a Gallary. When the group came in after him, they found themselves surrounded by hundreds of Lightsabers Dendar had both created and stolen from other Jedi and Sith. Dendar just stood there and laughed as the group stared in shock at the large quantity of Sabers. Dendar then lifted his hands and the lightsabers ignited a rainbow of color. He then threw all of them at the sith. Harkle and Colran had stayed behind the window, and were at a safe distance from the Lightsaber rain. However, Lapole, Serna, and Tetna had to quickly retreat to the window while dodging the many lightsabers that are flying towards them. Lapole was closer to the window and safely returned, and Serna made it back as well, but not without getting singed on her hip. Tetna, however was too slow and was impaled by two lightsabers.One in the chest, and one gutting him in the stomach. The group stared at poor Tetna as he tried to crawl back to the window despite his fatal wounds, but was impaled in the head by another lightsaber, killing him. The group then quickly retreated back to their ship. As they were leaving. The group argued about Tetna's death. In the end, Colran and Lapole decided to leave the group, and Serna and Harkle decided to leave as well. Undu, now having no one left in his group of Hunters, decided to join Colran and Lapole, ending the Dark Hunters.
Serna's Death[]
Serna was still interested in being a Bounty Hunter, however Harkle thought that his destiny was else wear. Harkle grew a dislike towards his Master, as he thought she dishonored the Sith by completely straying away from their goals. However, Harkle could not bring himself to kill her, even though it was Sith tradition too. Serna had no concern of Harkle betraying her ever, and Harkle had no plans of doing so. Harkle grew an interest in killing a Jedi, a challenge he considered his final test in training. Although it was obvious Harkle was already quite powerful and Serna clearly knew this, Serna questioned nothing and went with Harkle on his quest instead of returning to the life of Bounty Hunting, following him to the planet Mustafar. Harkle had heard of a Republic outpost on Mustafar, and hoped that a Jedi would possibly be there. However, when they arrived they did find a Jedi, but the Jedi actually turned out to be Master Mace Windu. Serna realized his power and told Harkle he had no chance. Harkle, over-confident with himself, did not heed her words and attacked Windu. Windu managed to defeat Harkle and slice his chest with his lightsaber. Serna ran to his side,and Windu, thinking she was attacking, force pushed her into the lava, killing her. Harkle was enraged and attacked Windu again, but to no avail. Windu once again defeated Harkle and left him to die on the platform in which they had dueled. After some time, Harkle managed to get up from the ground and walk over to where Serna had plunged into the lava. Harkle attempted to find his dead master in the lava, but this only gave him burnt marks as he tried to fish her out. He left the planet alone.
Working with the Separatists[]
Between 47 BBY and and early 22 BBY, Harkle returned to his life as a Bounty Hunter, not wanting to continue his Sith traditions after Serna's death. However that all changed for Harkle when the Clone Wars broke out. Harkle saw the Clone Wars as a opportunity to make the Galaxy fear him and to have vengeance on Windu. Harkle joined the Separatist cause, journeying to many planets and helping the Separatist in battle. The Republic soon became

aware of Harkle's existence, and Harkle offically became a enemy of the Republic.
Mission to Mygeeto[]
Harkle particapated in the First Battle of Mygeeto. Harkle's efforts in the battle probably were the reason the Separatists won the battle and captured the planet. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, Dascree Youn , and Luminara Unduli travelled to Mygeeto to help the Republic in the battle. Harkle sliced through the rows of Clones, allowing the Separatists to easily continue forward in their assault. Harkle eventually met up with the three Jedi and the four dueled. However, Harkle managed to keep Mundi and Luminara away long enough for him to one on one duel with Dascree. Sadly, Dascree wasn't strong or fast enough to even stand a chance against Harkle, and he was killed. Mundi and Luminara retreated with their dead comrades body, and Harkle continued his slaughter of the Clones until the remaining Republic forces retreated. Mundi would later particapate in the Second Battle of Mygeeto in honor of Dascree, but Luminara would stay behind not wanting to be reminded of Dascree's death.
Other Battles[]
Harkle particapated in many other Important battles during the Clone Wars, I will add more battles in the future.
Mission to Rugosa[]
After the Toydarian King's death, Harkle build a Separatist station on Rugosa, but it was attacked by the Republic. Harkle tried fighting them, but ultimately failed to save the station. He then attempted to flee in his Shuttle, but he was shot down by a cannon. He survived the crash though, and escaped the planet on another ship.
Death on Mustafar[]
With the Separatists and Republic thinking he was dead, Harkle decided to hideout on the Planet Mustafar until the end of the war. This plan nearly worked, but when the war was starting to come to a close, The Jedi learned of Harkle's location and travelled to the planet to capture him. Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ferrock Cand, Kerrak Hepteg (Sith), and a group of five other Jedi travelled to Mustafar. He was confronted by all of them at an abandoned Mustafar lava reservoir. The five other Jedi quickly advanced on him, but were quickly dispatched immediately by Harkle with a force repulse before he retreated. All of the Jedi then searched the entire reservoir for Harkle, and eventually Ferrock found the Kel Dor sith. However, instead of calling for back-up, Ferrock attempted to take on the Sith by himself. This decision led to his death at the hands of the Sith. However, just as Ferrock fell to the ground dead, Obi-Wan entered the room they were in. Harkle retreated to an outside area, before blasting Obi-Wan with sith lightning. He did not stop until Obi-Wan was on the ground defeated. Thinking Obi-Wan was dead, he left the Jedi's body. Harkle attempted to reach his ship, but it was on the other side of the reservoir's dam area. He attempted to sprint across the dam but was stopped by Anakin Skywalker, who had known the Sith would go this way to reach his ship. Also, Kerrack had followed Harkle across the reservoir, in hopes of surprising the Sith and killing him, but Anakin had foiled that. As Harkle dueled the two back and forth, Harkle accidentally sliced Kerrack's upper chest area, and then continued to duel Anakin before using a strong force push to dispatch him. Anakin landed on his back, knocking the wind out of him. Harkle then returned to Kerrack, stating he never thought he would kill him by accident, before force throwing him off the reservoir. Harkle then continued to his ship, finally making it across the reservoir, only to be confronted by Mace Windu. Harkle gladly engaged in a duel with the Jedi, having an intense hatred towards him for killing his Master. Windu was not as easily beaten though, the two dueled twice, the first time being Interrupted by Obi-Wan, who had recovered from Harkle's earlier attack. Harkle once again however dispatched Obi-Wan with a long blast of sith lightning. The second time Harkle barely managed to defeat Windu, in which he did by a landslide. Harkle managed to get his lightsaber pointed at Windu's throat, forcing the Jedi to surrender or be killed. Harkle was about to kill Windu with a swinging blow to the head, but Windu decided to take this chance to defeat Harkle. As Harkle swung, Windu ducked under the swing and cut off Harkle's hand. Windu then slashed Harkle's waist with his saber. Before Windu killed Harkle, Harkle said that the Separatists were not the real enemy, and that the Sith Empire would soon rise again. Windu then told Harkle that he was at first sorry for killing his Master, but after further thinking, he had no remorse for the action. Harkle then becomes enraged and tries to kill windu by strangling him. This, obviously, does not work, and Windu stabs Harkle in the chest with his Lightsaber. Harkle then stumbles off the rocky cliff they were dueling on and falls into the lava.
Personality and traits[]
Harkle was a cruel, powerful but Cocky Sith Warrior. He was known to not trust anyone, not even the Emperor, which is a reason why he planned on leaving the Separatist eventually in case the Emperor betrayed him. Harkle never let the Separatists capture Dorin after he joined, even though it was in Republic control. He always persuaded the Separatists to find interest in a different planet. This was because he wanted no lives on Dorin to be lost from a battle. Harkle had a deep hatred towards Windu and all Kel Dor Jedi, as he saw them as traitors. This made Plo Koon and Gnost-Dural his mortal enemies. Although Harkle confronted Gnost, he did battle Plo Koon, but did not manage to kill the Jedi. Harkle was very over-confident but Powerful, making his over-confidence not a problem most of the time.
Trivia[]
It is said that Harkle and Plo Koon were brothers, but this is most likely not true.
Kerrak had a extreme hatred towards Harkle after an event during the third year of the Clone Wars. This is why he travelled to Mustafar to kill him.
Harkle some times referred to him self as Darth Eridacate, but he never truly earned the title of Darth.
