Maichel Nahk was an influential Jedi Knight in the years after 40 ABY due to his participation in Nerd Squadron and its War against Darth Pathos. He later joined the dark side, and what he lacked in midichlorians he made up for in tactics. He spent much of his life researching a way to engineer midichlorians to multiply, but did not succeed until late in his life. Realizing it was too late for him, he injected one of these midichlorians into his son, Ressak Nahk. Though Ressak enjoyed a couple years of extreme power, he later died from an excess of midichlorians disrupting his body systems.
