Sneath Lapik was a mysterious and taciturn Umbaran male. After failing in a power grab at a young age, he was exiled from his homeworld and departed, seeking out sanctuary. His natural Umbaran abilities, combined with his Force-sensitivity, led him to track down faint clues indicating agents of a hidden refuge. They detected his approach and confronted him, with the possibility of killing or wiping his memory if he proved dangerous. To their surprise, the Umbaran asked for sanctuary and was granted it after passing rigorous background checks and mental probes.
