Summary:
Kaalak was a reptilian prospector who shared a prison stint with Ellie Nardino and Tishla during the events of Breaking Liberty. Opportunistic and wily, Kaalak convinced the two women to assist in reclaiming a valuable mining operation on Liberty that had fallen into the hands of the Cadre—a radical faction attempting to take control of the planet.
Stranded on Liberty for nine years following the Cadre takeover, Kaalak saw the chance for liberation as both a political opportunity and a chance to reclaim his livelihood. Despite his self-interest and slippery demeanor, Kaalak proved a competent field ally. However, he underestimated the intensity of the resistance effort and the danger involved.
Kaalak was killed during the assault led by Lamar to retake the mine, caught in the crossfire during the final push. His death marked the end of a long and bitter entanglement with Liberty’s lawlessness, but his efforts helped pave the way for Ellie and Tishla’s next move.
