Graaddik was born on Kashyyyk in 104BBY. He lived the a very normal peaceful life of a Wookiee child, with the exception that he had the gift of the Force. His destiny was set to become a shaman, a sagely healer and protector of his clan. But on the day he returned from his hrrtayyk, the day he would celebrate his passing into manhood and begin his training as a shaman, his village was raided by Trandoshan hunters. They killed most of the village and took many of the young males as hostages. Graaddik was sold into slavery in the spice mines on Kessel. He spent 7 long years in those mines.

Then, one day, an envoy with the Republic, including a Jedi, came in to discuss something with the spice traders. Whatever it was, the spice traders didn't seem to like it and a fight broke out. In the commotion the tunnel Graaddik was in began to collapse. The Jedi used the Force to save him. After the spice traders were all dead, he swore a life debt to the Jedi. The Jedi, a Nautolan Consular named Master Khefu Fora, said he would honor this debt. Master Fora also seemed to notice the Force radiating off of Graaddik.

He took Graaddik back to Coruscant with him, to meet the Jedi Council and declare that he would like to make Graaddik his Padawan. Graaddik said he was honored by the Jedi's offer, but he must decline. He said he wishes to preserve the Wookiee traditions, in honoring both his shaman training and his life debt. The Master Fora said he understands, and will continue to honor the life debt and offer Graaddik some help in his shaman training, if he will accept.

As it turns out Master Fora was an emissary on behalf of the Jedi Order and Galactic Senate. Graaddik’s debt to Master Fora would take him all over the galaxy, in the pursuit of spreading peace. In time they would fight alongside each other in the Clone Wars.

It was in the Battle of Kashyyyk that Master Fora fell to a Sith lightsaber. While his life debt was fulfilled, chose not to stay on Kashyyyk. He knew his path was to continue Master Fora and the Jedi’s message of peace and healing throughout the Galaxy. Graaddik set out to aid the needy, fight oppression, and continue growing on his path as a shaman.

Seeks to bring peace and healing to the war torn galaxy, in honor of the training of his Jedi friend, and to be a healer and protector to those in need, as is his duty as a shaman.

However, he also struggles with anger and hatred toward the Trandoshans, the Empire. He has vowed to stop any who seek to harm, enslave, and oppress the innocent and helpless.

Compassion: The character cares about the tribulations others face, and wants to help those he comes across. His compassion may lead to self-sacrifice in order to aid those who need it

Hatred: The galaxy can be a cruel and heartless place, and compassion can quickly turn to hatred of the individuals or situations that cause others to suffer. When a character’s mind roils with simmering hatred, that hatred may be all too slow to fade.
