Biography[]
Before 20 BBY, Lo-Taren was apart of a Trandoshan hunting guild which hunted animals or people for sport. His job for the guild was capturing people on planets around Wasskah for the guild to hunt.
In 20 BBY, Lo-Taren was on Felucia, searching for prey he could use as sport. Apon searching by a Separatist base, he was able to capture a Jedi Padawan by the name of Ahsoka Tano. He then took the Jedi into a ship nearby, flying her and four other contestants to Wasskah. Once arrived, Trandoshan Leader Garnac then ordered Lo-Taren to fire upon the five contestants. He obeyed, and shot two contestants while Garnac flew the ship up to the Trandoshan base.
Later the next day when the sun rose up, Garnac then proclaimed that a new day has begun, and all the Trandoshans cheered and walked out of the base to kill some more contestants. Once they arrived on Island Four, they were able to kill the other two contestants and found Ahsoka. Lo-Taren then tried to kill Ahsoka, but was then force-choked by Kalifa behind him. Ahsoka then told the Jedi to stop choking Lo-Taren out of anger, for it's not the Jedi way, and Kalifa then let him go. Lo-Taren, who showed no mercy, then called for the other Trandoshans to arrive to his position to kill Ahsoka and the other Jedi, but he was then knocked out by the other Jedi, letting them escape near death.
The next day, Lo-Taren then took a break while the other Trandoshans tried to kill the Jedi. However, this resulted in the death of Kalifa and Dar and caused havoc upon the guild. Later the same night, a cargo ship carrying Chewbacca then crashed onto the shores of Island Four after being hijacked by the same Jedi, killing two other members of the guild.
On his last day of being apart of the guild, the Jedi then kidnapped Smug and used him to contact Krix. As Krix arrived on the beaches, the Jedi then kicked him off his veichle and flew up to the Trandoshan fortress. This then caused a small battle to happen, which then resulted in the death of Lo-Taren when he was shot in the head by Tarfful.
