K'Kruhk
taken from the comic Jedi: Mace Windu
this Whiphid was a student of the Force, training under Master Micah Giiett in
the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was distraught after Lilit
Twoseas gave her life to save him from a Yinchorri warrior on Yinchorr, and
vowed to honor her sacrifice with his own actions. However, K'kruhk became
disillusioned with the Jedi Council's growing military direction, as well as the
growing corruption in the Senate. K'kruhk was believed to have died on Teyr,
early in the Clone Wars, when the charge he was leading met with heavy
resistance. The clone troopers under his command chose to press the attack
despite the obvious losses it would incur on their force, but Master K'kruhk
could not agree to such a sacrifice. He went into hiding, and it was soon
discovered that he had decided to join the dissident Jedi Sora Bulq on Ruul in
protest of the Jedi involvement in the war. When Asajj Ventress came to Ruul,
ostensibly on the orders of Jedi Master Mace Windu to kill the dissidents,
K'kruhk was the only member of the small band to support Windu's side of the
story. He refused to believe that the Jedi Master had sent the assassin, and he
was proven correct when Master Bulq revealed that he had turned to the Dark
Side of the Force. Unfortunately, Master K'kruhk was badly injured in a
lightsaber duel with Ventress shortly afterward. Only the timely intervention of
Master Windu allowed K'kruhk to escape. When it was revealed that Bulq and
Ventress were in league with each other, K'kruhk and Jeisel decided to rejoin
Master Windu, at least in order to eliminate the threat they posed. He agreed to
return to Coruscant, in the hopes of teaching his fellow Jedi about the different
faces of evil they were facing in the galaxy. It was on Coruscant that Master
K'kruhk was assigned to protect Senator Viento, an assignment which he
ultimately failed when Quinlan Vos took the Senator's life. K'kruhk suffered
many injuries in a fall, but eventually regained his health. However, as the Clone
Wars ground on, K'kruhk was forced to return to the battlefield. Late in the
Clone Wars, K'kruhk fought along side of Aayla Secura, Quinlan Vos, and
Asharad Hett during the Siege of Saleucami.
