"He's hurt—"
"Crazy… Gone mad…"
―Jinn finds the burglar[2]

A human burglar was part of a group of thieves who destroyed the power core of a mining outpost on Codia's second moon while attempting to steal a shipment of diamonds. The core's destruction created unusual radioactivity that drove the Defel miner Rosack Denahst into a frenzy, and the miner fatally injured the burglar. The wounded burglar was then discovered by the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn but perished soon after.

Biography

"He's dead…"
"Yes. May he be one with the Force."
―Kenobi and Jinn[2]
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn discovered the wounded burglar.

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn discovered the wounded burglar.

A human working as a burglar was part of a group of thieves who attempted to steal a shipment of diamonds from a mining outpost on the planet Codia I's second moon[2] at some point between 44 BBY and 32 BBY.[1] The group used a non-incendiary photonic charge to destroy the fuel rod of the outpost's power core, but the photonic burst interacted with the accelerite in the core and created unusual radioactivity that suppressed the entire light spectrum in the outpost. The radiation also drove the Defel miner Rosack Denahst into a frenzy, and after the thieves murdered six miners, Denahst slaughtered five of the criminals.[2]

After Denahst disemboweled the burglar, he did not perish immediately, lying wounded near the outpost's entrance. The Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had been sent to investigate the darkness at the outpost, discovered him there. The burglar, whom the Jedi assumed to be a miner, muttered about Denahst's madness and the threat he posed but perished before revealing what he was talking about. Kenobi, who had knelt beside the burglar in his final moments, was taken aback by the death, but Jinn stayed focused on the task at hand and helping other survivors, simply hoping that the deceased would become one with the Force. The Jedi later learned of the burglar's true occupation and repaired the power core, restoring Denahst's sanity.[2]

Equipment

He wore an orange jumpsuit with black boots.[2]
