Pieter was the Chieftain of a village of Ming Po on the planet Carlac during the Clone Wars.
Biography
The elder leader of a village of Ming Po on Carlac,[2] a planet in the Outer Rim Territories,[3] Chieftain Pieter had a granddaughter named Tryla.[2]
In 20 BBY[4] Pieter's village was taken hostage by the Death Watch, which had set up a new camp on Carlac. They subjugated the populace and kidnapped the women as servants.[2] Pieter hated the intruding Death Watch and their bullying ways.[1]
Having exhausted his patience,[1] Pieter confronted[2] bravely[1] Pre Vizsla to leave and return his people, and while Vizsla pretended to agree,[2] it was all a cruel ploy to teach him a painful lesson.[1] He returned to burn the Ming Po town,[2] leaving Pieter to watch in shock as the marauders destroyed his village and killed many of his people.[3] Vizsla then tried to kill Pieter with his Darksaber, but instead killed his granddaughter, Tryla, when she sacrificed herself[2] to save the town leader.[3]
Behind the scenes
Chieftain Pieter's name was inspired by the character Piter de Vries from Dune.[5]
