Jak (Nautolan)

Jak was a male Nautolan who grew up in the Coruscant underworld, where he befriended the Jedi Padawan Cade Skywalker, a frequent visitor of the planet's underlevels. By 137 ABY, Jak had become the personal bodyguard of the Hutt Queen Jool and worked as an enforcer at Rik's Cantina, which she owned. His loyalty to Jool was unflinching, and he would rid the establishment of anyone who caused her trouble if she commanded it. Skywalker visited the cantina in 137 ABY but was soon after taken captive by Coruscant's ruling Sith; Jak later witnessed a hologram that Skywalker had placed inside of his astromech droid, R2-D2. After the hologram concluded, a group of Skywalker's allies began planning a rescue of him from the clutches of the Sith, but Jak left the mission in their hands and exited the cantina.
