[edit] Biography
Rav owed some form of debt to Jariah Syn's father, and as a result took Jariah into his crew. Later, on the request of Jariah, he took Cade Skywalker aboard the Crimson Axe as his apprentice. He and his crew raided the Jedi Praxeum on Ossus, finding the corpses leftover from the attack. He laughed at the bodies, joking that Jedi just die. He had a cross-shaped scar running over one eye, and his right leg was mechanical from the knee down, with weapons supposedly hidden within it. For seven years, Rav trained Cade in the "free" way and had him swear the Bloody Bones oath. He later retired from pirating and opened a bounty clearing house on Socorro. Here, Rav provided the bounty hunters numerous services, including ship repairs. He was also a spice runner, and used this to keep addicted bounty hunters (such as Skywalker) in his debt. Rav frequently spoke Huttese.
When Cade and his crew came to Socorro to cash in the bounties on bond-skipper Naxy Screeger and the Jedi Hosk Trey'lis, he gave Skywalker three deathsticks on credit, enraging Jariah Syn, who wished to be out of Rav's debt. One of his henchmen escorted Naxy away and the other, a Wookiee, carried Trey'lis off. He lectured Syn that one's loyalty is to self and that he will always be owned.
Rav later double-crossed Syn and Blue by turning them into the Empire for harboring Cade, whom he had just found out was a Jedi.
He was later tracked down by Cade, Syn, Chak and Kee because he had Chak's ship, the Grinning Liar. After a brief fight, which Cade and his friends won, Rav reluctantly returned the ship the Chak and Kee and swore his own oath to Skywalker. He later reported to Darth Maladi, swearing his oath to her and promising to deliver any information concerning his former apprentice.
His pirate symbol, the Bloody Bones, was feared across the Galaxy.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- John Ostrander considered calling him the "Dread Pirate Rav" as a nod to Dread Pirate Roberts from The Princess Bride, but decided against it, as Rav was "NOTHING like ANY" of the characters from that movie.
