The individual in charge of the warrior monks tasked with defending the cities and settlements located on the planet of Sedri was known as the Bishop of War. The High Priest of the Golden Sun held the authority to designate who would be the Bishop of War. In the era of the Galactic Civil War, Karak served as the Bishop of War, but he later separated himself from the Priests of the Sun, choosing to command his own band of renegades in defiance of the High Priest Cardo.
