Phutari is a middle aged Dressellian who owns a cantina in the Trader's Quarter of Ord Mantell. He was instrumental in acting as friend and mentor to a young Rasilvenaira StormRaven when she first appeared in the city.

Simple Beginnings

Phutari was born around 42 BBY, on Dressel. His family lived simply, but his parents spent most of their time and what money they got chasing the dream of moving up socially. This meant the children, Phutari and his younger sister, Lishyel, were left to fend for themselves much of the time. Phutari and his sister grew extremely close because of this, and he worked hard to look after her.

During Phutari’s tenth year he slipped away from the family home to go hunting. He had grown rather skilled at hunting small animals that helped to add to the sometimes meager food supplies the children were left with while their parents spent time away. Even when they were around, they weren’t paying much attention to the needs of their children. Phutari felt a prickling sensation at the back of his neck before he had even finished tending to his first kill of the day. He couldn’t understand what it meant beyond that it disturbed him greatly. Without waiting to gather more food, he took off and headed back home.

The increasing sense of dread understood when he cleared the slight rise in the terrain and was in sight of his home. Dark tendrils of smoke drifted into the air and he ran the rest of the way to the house. The building had been ransacked; the family’s few possessions of any worth were either gone or destroyed. Phutari cared nothing for that; what ripped his heart to shreds that day was the sight of his beloved Lishyel. Her body was unceremoniously tossed to one side, her fragile neck snapped from being slammed into the wall. Grief and rage tore at his mind as he knelt beside her, as well as guilt that nagged at him.

When Phutari was able to finally leave his sister’s side, he also found the bodies of both his parents. Sickened and enraged when he realized from their positions that they were killed trying to defend what he considered meaningless objects, while the one person who meant everything to him was left defenseless to be killed, a young Phutari found himself alone in a harsh world. The chaotic turmoil of his emotions eventually left him drained and confused. Finally, Phutari gathered himself together, searching out the few useful possessions left in the home. Then taking up the bundle of his possessions, and Lishyel’s body, he returned to what had always been his favorite hunting place. He buried his sister there, and spent his first night alone there in quiet meditation.
