The tyrant known as The Warlord originated from an uncharted star system, belonging to an alien species of which nothing is known. He established a tyrannical rule over the planet Kariek circa 28 BBY. However, during the Eickaries rebellion that occurred on Kariek in 22 ABY, he was ultimately overthrown by the 501st Legion of the Empire of the Hand. Following his subjugation by the 501st, the Empire of the Hand extracted the coordinates of his native star system from him, subsequently dispatching a substantial fleet to initiate contact.
