Background: An Abednedo male native of the planet Abednedo, Prauf started working as an engineer on the planet Bracca before the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He took part in the Scrapper Guild and helped to refit and rebuild broken-down ships.
During the Clone Wars, some Scrapper Guild members aided the Separatists, trying to wrestle Bracca away from the Republic. In retaliation, the newly formed Galactic Empire cut wages and lowered safety standards on the planet. Prauf continued to work under the Empire, but he noticed that most of his fellow engineers were turned into scrappers. The Abednedo operated heavy-duty cutters and welders in order to dismantle derelict starships.
Sometime before 14 BBY, he befriended Cal Kestis, a former Jedi Padawan in hiding. Prauf, who was unaware of his friend’s true nature, helped Kestis get jobs through the Scrapper Guild, and both were supervised by a foreman droid. He also believed that Kestis deserved better, as he wanted him to explore the galaxy and find his destiny, moving away from Bracca and the life of a scrapper. Both Prauf and Kestis were hardworking and avoided trouble, allowing them to be largely ignored by guild overseers. In 14 BBY, Prauf and Kestis were required to secure cables on line Ten-A, an area on the wing of a wrecked Venator-class Star Destroyer. Kestis said that the work was dangerous, but the chief offered them double pay for the maneuver. While trying to reach line Ten-A, after Prauf went on it, the stairs that led to a structure collapsed, forcing Kestis to pass through another way. After securing the cables, Prauf and Kestis noticed an Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, and they briefly discussed the Jedi.
As they were about to leave the Star Destroyer, the supports that prevented the starship to plummet broke, and Prauf and Kestis slid down. As they were about to fall into the Ibdis Maw’s mouth, Kestis’ leg got stuck in a tube, and he used the Force to slow down Prauf’s fall. Kestis and Prauf landed on a damaged hoverbarge, but they were able to pilot it to the ground. Prauf asked Kestis if he had used the Force to save him, but Kestis made him promise not to tell anyone. Prauf suggested to the former Jedi to leave Bracca, and Kestis planned to take refuge on the moon Nar Shaddaa. However, an Imperial Probe Droid observed the event and contacted the Inquisitorius.
The Second Sister and the Ninth Sister, two Imperial Inquisitors, were dispatched to Bracca with a squadron of Purge Troopers to execute the Force-sensitive that worked as a scrapper. The train where the workers traveled was stopped by several stormtroopers and the scrappers got lined up. The Inquisitors, not knowing who among them was Force-sensitive, asked the scrappers if someone wanted to turn himself in freely, otherwise, everyone would have faced summary execution. Prauf, to distract them, ranted about what the Empire had done to Bracca and the Scrapper Guild. The Second Sister agreed with him, before killing Prauf with her lightsaber. Kestis, in anger, tried to kill the Second Sister with his lightsaber. His strike, however, was blocked by the Inquisitor, and Kestis was forced to flee.
Prauf’s death led Kestis to escape from Bracca, fulfilling Prauf’s wishes for him to leave the planet. Kestis later told Nightsister Merrin about how an old friend told him to find his place in the galaxy and fulfill his destiny.
