Bacalo grew up in the shadow of his older brother. No matter what he did, he never was quite as good as his brother was. Even when he was better, it always seemed that his brother had the advantage somehow. Fortunately for his sanity, Kyesara never lorded this fact over his brother. In fact, it turned into a competition, where Kyesara would publicly beat Bacalo, but privately give him pointers for doing better next time. All in all, he grew up to be an average wookie.<br/><br/>They both tried out for a position to be the personal bodyguard of a semi-powerful Jedi. Naturally, Kyesara won the position, but not by much. Bacalo moved on to the Kashyyykian Defense Force. While he proved adept at the bowcaster, it was revealed that he was a natural at using the ryyk blades. <Check here for pictures of these blades. Top is a standard ryyk, bottom is a ryyk kerarthorr. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Ryyk_blades2.jpg (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Ryyk_blades2.jpg)><br/><br/>He was present on the day that Master Yoda and the Republic defended the city of Kachirho from the Trade Federation. The pride he felt that day, doing something right and good, turned to ash once Order 66 was enacted. His ryyk spilt a lot of clone blood (and later, Trandoshan slavers) as he fought his way off the surface. In the end, however, he had to abandon his beloved blade, buried in the chest of a Trandoshian who couldn't wrap his mind around the concept that this walking carpet didn't want to go quietly, in order for him to make it off of Kashyyk.<br/><br/>Within a few months, Bacalo went to look up his brother. Unfortunately, he found out (overhearing some clones boasting in a bar) that Kyesara had died, along with the Jedi he was escorting. Shot in the back, before he could realize something was wrong. Bacalo returned the favor, before slipping out to the outer edges of the system.<br/><br/>He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and a smoldering hatred for the Empire, seeing first hand what it did to it's loyal members. This, among other traits, makes him a perfect match for the Rebellion.
