Unidentified four-armed Nihil

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A four-armed alien pirate served the Nihil as a member of a Cloud during the High Republic Era. In 228 BBY, the Cloud abducted several Force-sensitive children on the planet Temerancé, with the Tholothian monster hunter Ty Yorrick being hired to rescue the children. After encountering the Cloud in the Osler community, which led them to retreat, Yorrick infiltrated their starship and found the member being held in the air with the Force by the Altiri Lene Kostana. Exhausted, Kostana dropped the Nihil, who then advanced steadily at the girl with their weapon drawn. Before they could harm the youngling, the member was cut down by Yorrick with her lightsaber.

Biography

During the High Republic Era, a four-armed alien served as a member for a Cloud within the Nihil marauder organization.^[2] In 228 BBY,^[1] the Cloud the member operated in kidnapped several Force-sensitive children from a small settlement on Temerancé, a planet located in the Nihil-occupied space known as the Occlusion Zone. After the abduction, the populace of the settlement requested help from the Tholothian monster hunter Ty Yorrick to rescue their young ones. Yorrick agreed, and tracked the Cloud to the Osler community that resided not far from the settlement, with the pirates attempting to capture more Force-sensitive younglings. The Tholothian engaged in battle with the Nihil, which prompted several to retreat onboard a starship with several children.^[2]

Yorrick managed to board the ship as it departed and subdued a pirate before hearing the screams of the member and believing them to be a child. As Yorrick darted through the halls, she ultimately found the source of the shriek and was bewildered to see the Nihil in the air being held afloat through the Force by the Altiri Lene Kostana, who struggled to hold the pirate up and requested for assistance. While the member wailed, Kostana eventually lost her grasp of the member and fell, with the pirate plummeting to the ground. As Kostana was tended to by a Duros child, the provoked member stood up and dragged their weapon on the ground while slowly advancing towards Kostana, calling the girl a small Force-wielding witch. However, they were thwarted as Yorrick severed the member at the waist with her lightsaber, killing them, and noting her closest companions were witches. Yorrick then tended to an exhausted Kostana before delivering the children to the settlement.^[2]

Personality and traits

The member was frightened when Kostana utilized the Force on them and called out for aid from other individuals. After being let down by the Force, the member was furious at the Altiri and attempted to harm her with their equipment. Due to the member being fixated on harming Kostana, they became unaware of their surroundings, which led to Yorrick killing them in quick haste. The member had gray hair with a white beard and light-purple skin. Their body comprised of four arms, with each hand being tipped with brownish speckles. Unlike their body, their face was tan with lengthy ears, a bulky nose, and two teeth in their mouth.^[2]

The Nihil wore a silver holster with two pieces of red fabric suited to it. Additionally, they also donned brown goggles with red lenses on their head. Three of their four arms had maroon cloth wrapped around them, with the fourth having a small greenish band on it. The member also employed a club-like weapon that contained six spikes attached to a circular tip.^[2]
