During the Separatist Crisis era, Hurlo Holowan, a Kuati, engaged a Clawdite for the purpose of serving as a decoy. This was in case bounty hunters tried to seize or eliminate her. This individual was a shape-shifter capable of replicating Holowan's look.
Zam Wesell, a fellow Clawdite and bounty hunter, arrived in search of Holowan and mistakenly attacked the decoy. The decoy attempted to escape, but was stunned, causing them to collapse. After revealing Holowan's whereabouts, Wesell stunned the decoy once more and hid the incapacitated figure in a closet within Holowan's mansion located on Kuat.
Despite the Clawdite being referenced with "she" in the narrative, the being's actual gender is never explicitly confirmed. As demonstrated by Zam Wesell in that particular novel, Clawdites possess the ability to imitate various genders. Consequently, any assumption regarding the decoy's actual gender remains purely speculative.
