Roni von Wasaki

A Jedi Knight active prior to 20,000 BBY, Roni von Wasaki was respected as both an able administrator and a skilled warrior. In response to a bounty placed on Wasaki by a crime boss, the bounty hunter Leshy Drobo and his droid partner, XT-8, were ultimately successful in capturing the Jedi, whom they froze in carbonite for transportation to the bounty's originator. Wasaki retained his mental faculties and the ability to use the Force, however, and influenced Drobo's mind so that he would release him.

Wasaki's plan backfired, however, when XT-8 confronted and killed his partner, in the process damaging the hyperdrive of the Starkiller, the starship they were traveling aboard. XT-8 then simply continued the journey at subliminal speed, leading the journey to stretch on for twenty millennia, an ordeal during which the imprisoned Wasaki went insane. During the Galactic Civil War, another starship discovered the Starkiller and its crew eventually released Wasaki from carbonite. His madness and growing paranoia soon caused Wasaki to attack his liberators, but they ultimately managed to calm his mind by using the Force.
