Prauf

Being an Abednedo male native to the planet Abednedo, Prauf began his career as an engineer on Bracca before the outbreak of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He became a member of the Scrapper Guild and contributed to the repair and reconstruction of damaged vessels.

During the Clone Wars, certain members of the Scrapper Guild supported the Separatists, attempting to seize control of Bracca from the Republic. In response, the newly established Galactic Empire reduced wages and relaxed safety regulations on the planet. Prauf continued his work under the Empire, but he noticed that many of his fellow engineers were being reassigned as scrappers. The Abednedo operated heavy-duty cutters and welders in order to dismantle derelict starships.

At some point prior to 14 BBY, he formed a bond with Cal Kestis, a former Jedi Padawan living in secrecy. Prauf, unaware of his friend's true identity, assisted Kestis in securing employment through the Scrapper Guild, and they were both overseen by a foreman droid. He also believed Kestis was capable of more, encouraging him to explore the galaxy and discover his destiny, rather than remaining on Bracca as a scrapper. Both Prauf and Kestis were diligent and avoided trouble, which allowed them to remain largely unnoticed by the guild supervisors. In 14 BBY, Prauf and Kestis were tasked with securing cables on line Ten-A, a section located on the wing of a destroyed Venator-class Star Destroyer. Kestis pointed out the danger of the task, but the chief offered them double pay for doing it. While trying to reach line Ten-A, after Prauf went on it, the stairs that led to a structure collapsed, forcing Kestis to pass through another way. After securing the cables, Prauf and Kestis noticed an Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, and they briefly discussed the Jedi.

As they were preparing to leave the Star Destroyer, the supports that were preventing the starship from collapsing gave way, and Prauf and Kestis began to slide downwards. As they were about to fall into the Ibdis Maw, Kestis' leg became trapped in a pipe, and he used the Force to decelerate Prauf's descent. Kestis and Prauf landed on a damaged hover barge, but they managed to steer it to the ground. Prauf inquired whether Kestis had used the Force to save him, and Kestis made him promise to keep it a secret. On the train ride home from the scrapyard, Prauf expressed his gratitude to Kestis for risking his life to save him and suggested that the former Jedi leave Bracca. Kestis agreed, sharing his plan to seek refuge on the moon Nar Shaddaa, and informed Prauf that he would not be seeing him for some time before falling asleep exhausted.

However, without their knowledge, an Imperial probe droid witnessed the event and contacted the Inquisitorius. The Second Sister and the Ninth Sister, two Imperial Inquisitors, were dispatched to Bracca along with a squad of Purge Troopers to eliminate the Force-sensitive individual working as a scrapper. The train carrying the workers was stopped by several stormtroopers, and the scrappers were lined up. The Inquisitors, unsure of which one possessed Force abilities, asked the scrappers to voluntarily identify themselves, or else everyone would face summary execution. Prauf, in an attempt to create a diversion, began to complain about the Empire's treatment of Bracca and the Scrapper Guild. The Second Sister agreed with him, before killing Prauf with her lightsaber. Enraged, Kestis attempted to attack the Second Sister with his lightsaber. However, his attack was blocked by the Inquisitor, forcing Kestis to flee.

Prauf's demise prompted Kestis to escape from Bracca, fulfilling Prauf's desire for him to leave the planet. Kestis later recounted to Nightsister Merrin how an old friend had encouraged him to find his place in the galaxy and realize his destiny.

Prauf was a cheerful and loquacious Abednedo male with light brown skin. He had fond memories of a time when the shipyards of Bracca were focused on repairing ships rather than dismantling them. He was always protective of Cal Kestis and possessed the wisdom to avoid probing into Kestis' past, while also hoping that Kestis could achieve a better life than his own.

Prauf was proficient in operating cutters and welders due to his physical strength and imposing stature. He was a skilled engineer with the ability to climb, jump, and, with Kestis' assistance, secure cables.

Prauf wore a orange and blue garment and brown boots.

Prauf made his debut in the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, where he is voiced by JB Blanc. The concept art for Prauf was created by Jose Daniel Cabrera Peña.
