Cydon Prax

Cydon Prax was a Chistori male bounty hunter employed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a bodyguard during the early days of the Clone Wars. Following the death of another mercenary, Jango Fett, Prax took his place as the personal enforcer of Count Dooku in the year 22 BBY.

In the month that followed the First Battle of Geonosis, Prax discovered the remains of the Force Harvester—an ancient technology buried on the planet Raxus Prime—with the help of the smuggler Bera Kazan. Dooku had the weapon transported to the Kashyyyk system and ordered Prax to conduct a field test on Alaris Prime, a forest moon home to a local Wookiee population, where the Separatists could gauge the effects and magnitude of the Harvester's life force draining power. Prax then joined the Separatists on the planet Thule where Dooku, satisfied by the experiment's results, converted the Harvester into a power source for the Dark Reaper superweapon.

Recognizing the Dark Reaper as an existential threat to both the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order, Jedi General Mace Windu personally oversaw the Grand Army of the Republic's invasion of Thule. During the battle, Dooku was evacuated while Prax confronted Jedi Commander Anakin Skywalker in the ancient Sith ruins of Kesiak. Despite Prax's efforts to kill the young Jedi Padawan, the Chistori bounty hunter was slain in battle, allowing Skywalker to complete the mission by destroying the Dark Reaper.
