Jedi Killer
Rayvis is a powerfulGen’Dai warriorwho has slain several Jedi during theHigh Republic era. The body of a Gen’Dai is a mass collection ofregenerative tentacles, which allows them to heal their wounds quickly. This species was once a peaceful one until their homeworld was destroyed and they resorted to more violent means.
The Bedlam Raiders are essentially a group of space pirates that terrorize the prospectors on Koboh. Theirname comes from their home planet Bedlam,located in the Mid Rim near the Bedlam Pulsar.
Similar to General Grievous, Rayviscollects the lightsabers of his victims as trophies. When Rayvis formed theBedlam Raiders, he would equip his most trusted officers with these weapons but he wouldn’t use one in battle.
Serving Dagan Gera
Before Tanalorr was attacked by the Nihil, Rayvis and Dagan Gera met in battle. Although Rayvis had defeated countless Jedi before, he wasno match for Gera. The Jedi was theonly person to defeat Rayvisand the Gen’Dai swore loyalty to Gera.
When Gera was sealed in the bacta tank on Koboh, Rayvisremained loyal to him. He believed theJedi betrayed Geraand tried searching for his whereabouts but he never found him. Eventually, the Jedi finally defeated Rayvis. However, the Jedi Masters decided to spare his life andRayvis was imprisoned.
Not receiving a warrior’s death was seen as ahigh dishonorto Rayvis and his hatred toward the Jedi grew. Luckily for Rayvis, Palpatine obliterated the majority of the Jedi Order and hemanaged to escapeso he could resume his search for Gera.
Terrorizing Koboh
Rayvis knew Gera was located somewhere on Koboh but couldn’t find his exact location. He formed the Bedlam Raiders andactivated former Separatist battle droidsto boost his army. Rayvis and the raiders terrorized the Koboh settlers and nearly executed a frog before Cal Kestis intervened.
Rayvis explained that Turgle sold him afake relic that would be used to awaken Gera. It was a device used from the High Republic era and was needed to find the Jedi. Kestis killed Zeik, one of Rayvis’s officers, and he applauded the Jedi’s victory.
The Gen’Dai warrior left Kestis in peace but hecontinued to monitor and follow the Jedi. Kestis managed to find and awaken Gera, then Rayvisquickly arrived to rescue Gerabefore Kestis defeated him.
Rayvis would fight Kestis for the first time in theLucrehulk, or at least attempt to fight. Rayvis takes the relic from Kestis and begins to charge him beforeBD-1 slams Rayvis through a wall with a metal container.
A Warrior’s Death
With Gera fully revived, Rayvis settled back into his second-in-command role. After Gera told Rayvis his plan of reclaiming Tanalorr, Rayvis told him he wouldconsider his oath completed to Gera. Rayvis says thegalaxy has changed and there is little honor won in war. Gera envisions anew war for the both of themafter they reach Tanalorr.
The Shattered Moon is inorbit around Kobohwhich was torn apart by anEmergence. The Emergence caused massive damage to Koboh as well, but over time, the broken rocksformed a ring around the moonand the orbit became stable.
Gera sends Rayvis to the Shattered Moon to activate the array andopen the path for Gera to reach Santari Khri’s observatoryfor the compass. However, Kestis arrived and fought Rayvis for a second time. Rayvis uses alarge metal mace and fires rocketsfrom his space suit.
Kestis defeats Rayvis and the Jedi asks for his assistance in fighting Gera. But Rayvis showsno interest in fightinganymore and asks for Kestis togive him a warrior’s death. He tries one last attack but Kestis deflects him and finally kills Rayvis and honors him.
