Unidentified Keshiri caretaker

This elderly Keshiri caretaker's life began on the planet Kesh more than a thousand years after the arrival of the Lost Tribe of Sith, a group of Human Sith from the Sith Empire who had become stranded. Around 5000 BBY, the Lost Tribe established themselves as the new ruling class on the continent of Keshtah Minor by asserting that they were the Protectors, deities in Keshiri mythology who had battled against the evil Destructors during a Great Battle. By 3960 BBY, the Keshiri caretaker had reached his twilight years. By this time, the Keshiri on Keshtah had been relegated to a subservient serf class, serving as laborers and peasants for the Human Tribe. Like all Keshiri residing on Keshtah after the Tribe's arrival, the caretaker likely believed that the Sith were a divine race superior to his own.

This Keshiri caretaker was employed by Candra Kitai, a newly appointed High Lord, who had ascended to that position after Lillia Venn became the Grand Lord in 3961 BBY. He resided and worked at the family's rural estate, Starfall, located a two-hour uvak flight south of Kesh. He was also acquainted with Candra's daughter, Orielle Kitai, a Sith Saber who had several apprentices of her own. Adhering to tradition, this Keshiri caretaker was never permitted to address Orielle by her nickname "Ori," as she considered herself superior to the Keshiri. During the Donellan's Day festivities in 3960 BBY, the caretaker remained at Starfall with his fellow laborers, anticipating their masters' return for dinner following the rake-riding competitions at the Korsinata stadium in the Sith capital of Tahv.

However, Candra and Orielle never returned from the rake-riding games. The Grand Lord had framed the mother and daughter for an assassination attempt that she herself had orchestrated to eliminate potential rivals. Campion Dey, the Kitai family's uvak wrangler, had been manipulated by agents of Grand Lord Venn into attempting to assassinate the Grand Lord herself at the beginning of the games. However, he was captured and executed by the Luzo brothers, Flen and Sawj Luzo, after he had served his purpose. As a consequence of Dey's actions, his sponsors were directly implicated in the crime, even though they had not ordered the assassination. As punishment, Lillia Venn ordered their enslavement and stripped them of all their titles, lands, and possessions. Venn and her allies also seized the opportunity to move against Dernas and Pallima, the leaders of the Red and Gold Factions, who were suspected of conspiring with Candra to assassinate the Grand Lord.

Following the incident, Orielle, who had departed after the assassination attempt, returned to Starfall to inform her family's slaves that Lady Candra would not be returning that night, as she had unfinished business to attend to in Tahv. After traveling for two hours on her uvak Shyn, Candra arrived at her mansion only to find her family's laborers carrying her family's belongings to a large bonfire on the lawn. By this point, the two Luzo brothers had already arrived at Starfall with orders from Lillia to destroy the Kitai family's possessions and confiscate their assets. The elderly caretaker was tasked with overseeing the destruction of the Kitai family's belongings. Meanwhile, the Luzo brothers and their Sith apprentices entered the mansion and began confiscating Candra's belongings for destruction.

When Orielle arrived and saw the bonfire, she left her uvak Shyn by the columns lining the front walk. Shocked by what she saw, she ignited her Sith lightsaber and confronted the elderly Keshiri caretaker. He then informed his former master that the Grand Lord had ordered the destruction of her family's belongings two hours prior. He then gestured to the main entrance where two of the Luzo brothers' Sith apprentices were standing guard and supervising the laborers, who were carrying furniture to the bonfire. Orielle initially wanted to go and confront the intruders but the elderly caretaker pulled her behind the bonfire, away from their view. He then warned her that there were more Sith inside the mansion confiscating her mother's things as well.

Orielle then asked the caretaker whether Candra was still a High Lord but he did not know. By that stage, rumors had spread that Candra had made a direct pact with either the Red and Gold factions. There were also unconfirmed rumors that Lillia had died in her box, succumbing to her exertions during the assassination attempt. In addition, it was rumored that Dernas and Pallima had been executed in full public view within their viewing boxes. The only fact that could be verified was that the Kitai family had brought the assassin into the stadium. While rumors of Lillia's death were proven false, it was later confirmed that Dernas and Pallima had indeed been executed by the Luzo brothers. Unknown to most people, Lillia had framed the Kitai family for the attempted assassination attempt.

Orielle decided to return to Tahv and speak with her apprentices, who were well connected enough to have access to the High Seat. She believed that the Grand Lord's faction had burnt her family's belonging to provoke a reaction and reveal disloyalty. She also hoped that her mother Candra had somehow successfully deflected blame and figured out who the culprits were. After telling the Keshiri caretaker of her plans, she turned towards her uvak. The caretaker then bid his former master farewell but addressed her by her nickname "Ori". When she demanded to know why he had done so, the Keshiri merely looked down and wandered away. At that moment, Orielle realized that her family had been reduced to the status of slaves; the worse case scenario that a Sith living on Kesh would ever dread. As a result, Candra changed her plans and returned to her friend Jelph of Marisota, a Human slave would lived alongside the Marisota River.

The Keshiri caretaker never encountered Orielle again. During her time with Jelph, she discovered that he was actually a Jedi Shadow who had become stranded on Kesh. She also discovered his hidden Aurek-class tactical strikefighter, which she regarded as a "Kesh-shaking" discovery that had the potential of restoring her family fortunes. She returned to Tahv and informed her mother of this discovery. Her mother Candra told Orielle to contact the architect Gadin Badolfa, who had contacts with the other Red and Gold faction High Lords. However, Candra informed the Grand Lord of this planned meeting. Meanwhile, Orielle and Jelph reconciled and the two returned to the farm in an attempt to prevent the Sith from discovering this secret.

However, Lillia Venn and her supporters arrived there first and captured Orielle. Jelph managed to ambush Venn's followers and rescue Orielle. They escaped into river while Lillia and her followers were killed when she accidentally activated the starship's anti-theft system: proton torpedoes buried beneath thousands of kilograms of ammonium nitrate. Lillia's death during the so-called Night of the Upside-Down Meteor triggered a millennium of chaos known as the Time of the Rot.

Information regarding the Keshiri caretaker's personality and characteristics remains scarce. However, it can be inferred that he possessed sufficient seniority and experience as a laborer to be appointed as the custodian of the Kitai family's Starfall estate. Like many of his Keshiri counterparts, his existence revolved around obeying and fulfilling the commands of the Lost Tribe of Sith. Following the enslavement of the Kitai family, he complied with Grand Lord Lillia Venn's directives to destroy the family's possessions in a public bonfire without exhibiting any hesitation or dissent. Nevertheless, he displayed enough concern for his former master, Orielle, to shield her from the Luzo brothers, who had arrived to confiscate the Kitai family's assets. Given his status as a slave, this Keshiri caretaker remained indifferent to the plight of the Kitais, who had been enslaved for allegedly orchestrating an assassination attempt against the ruling Grand Lord.
