- "Professor Emanus has been leading an archeological dig on Yavin IV, as I said. They were hoping to find artifacts or relics related to Exar Kun near the Temple of Exar Kun. I fear they may have found something far worse."
- ―Professor Cornelius Wagglehorn
Walter Emanus was a professor at the Corellia University, where he was friends with Cornelius Wagglehorn.
In 1 ABY he led an archaeological expedition, including the physician Tyla Grant, to Yavin 4 that excavated the Temple of Exar Kun. However, when the team uncovered the catacombs beneath the temple, they awakened the spirit of Exar Kun and became enslaved to it, becoming the Cult of Exar Kun. He left a diary of his experiences, that was later found by a group of spacers.
