Background: Kharrus was a Gran male politician who served as the senator of Kinyen in the Republic Senate during the Clone Wars. He was an ally of fellow Senator Padmé Amidala. When Count Dooku, leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, was captured by the pirate Hondo Ohnaka and his gang, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine sent Senator Kharrus—along with Junior Representative Jar Jar Binks and several clone shock troopers of the Coruscant Guard—to deliver the ransom money to Ohnaka’s base on Florrum. However, Kharrus was killed along with two clone pilots when his Nu-class attack/transport shuttle crashed on the planet’s surface. He was buried near the crash site by Binks and the surviving clone troopers, who continued the mission in the late senator’s stead.
Standing 1.78 meters tall, Kharrus had pink skin and three green eyes, which offered him superior vision. He garnered enough political acumen to serve as a senator in the Republic Senate, over a career that became noted for its length. Like most Gran, Kharrus was deeply loyal and was willing to do anything for the greater good of the Republic. He became respected as a seasoned diplomat and would barely blink an eye when asked to undertake perilous assignments for the Republic, coming to specialize in negotiations under extreme circumstances with the galaxy’s more dangerous elements. A steadfast supporter of Chancellor Palpatine, Kharrus was a trusted ally of the Supreme Chancellor and was honored when tasked with delivering the spice ransom to Florrum, as capturing Count Dooku and potentially ending the Clone Wars made the mission the most important one of the senator’s career.
During official events, Kharrus wore a formal set of white-and-blue robes that were equally dignified and flexible for any possible situations that could arise while he was in the field. He also carried with him an ancient staff, which Jar Jar Binks used to mark his burial site on Florrum. Colleagues such as Binks were saddened by his death and believed that the Gran would be sorely missed. Binks did his best to honor the late senator’s memory, negotiating with the pirates on Florrum on account of believing that it was what Kharrus would have done.
