Brother Lycos was a Lonto male Child of the Storm who acted as a bodyguard to the Nihil envoy Affanar when the envoy met with the Hutt Skarabda on the planet Ballum. He lead a Nameless off the envoy ship, and briefly traded blows with Skarabda's enforcer. Shortly thereafter, the Republic Longbeam Gios arrived, and Lycos unleashed the Nameless to disorient the Jedi landing force as well as those flying Jedi Vectors.[2]
During the ensuing fight, Republic forces managed to kill the Nameless that Lycos had brought. Jedi knight Terec engaged Lycos in combat and was nearly defeated, but one of the injured Republic soldiers, Sergeant Kemlin, managed to shoot him. Terec brought Lycos before Skarabda and her new ally, Jedi Keeve Trennis. Lycos told those assembled that he had lost his eye to a rogue Trandoshan Jedi in the occlusion zone, who Trennis suspected was her presumed-dead master Sskeer.[1]
Personality and traits
Lycos wore a mask covering his entire face except his eyes, one of which was missing.[2][1] The mask covered severe facial wounds.[1]
Skills and abilities
Lycos was a force user,[1] and exhibited the ability jump unnaturally high and enough strength to punch through the hull of a Vector. He also wielded plantlike vines from the sleeves of his robes. At times, he appeared to float above the ground without legs, while other times he appeared to have two humanoid legs.[2]
