Sao was a Veknoid male who was a servant to the Sith apprentice Varon Krul.
Biography[]
Sao was born on the planet Damosus and grew up in Roth's Town, one of the few settlements on the planet where non-humans were allowed to live peacefully. In spite of this, Sao and his family were often the target of hate crimes committed by Humans, culminating in the murder of his parents. Left without a home or family, Sao was left to fend for himself as he roamed the streets. At some point he met a boy named Varon, who found a kindred spirit in Sao due to being an outcast in his own home.
In 24 ABY, Varon mysteriously vanished, leaving Sao alone once more. Over ten years later, Varon—now a Sith—returned to Damosus and offered to take Sao along on his travels. The Veknoid eagerly agreed and unwittingly became one of Varon's first followers in his plot against the Sith Order of Darth Sedriss. In 40 ABY, Sao accompanied Varon to Vaklin and disguised himself as a merchant to spy on the Jedi Knight Jaden Korr. He later joined Varon in his search for the ancient Sith Lord Darth Glovoc, eventually finding and awakening him on Nyriaan.
After Varon revealed his machinations to the public and declared himself Dark Lord of the Sith, Sao accompanied him back to Damosus where Varon planned to kill his mother Brisha Syo and to erase any trace of his past. To this end, he tasked Sao with burning the graveyard containing the bodies of his uncle and nephew. Sao complied with this order and allowed himself to be consumed by the resulting fire.
