Daxar Ies was one of Emperor Palpatine's private accountants. He embezzled two billion credits from Palpatine's personal funds, and stashed it into several accounts across the galaxy. Palpatine sent one of his Hands, Mara Jade, to eliminate him. Daxar made the mistake of making a withdrawal from one of these accounts, and Jade was able to locate him with this transaction. According to UnuThul, Beda and Eremay fled to the Unknown Regions and became Joiners with the Killiks, and that their hatred towards Jade was what created the Dark Nest. UnuThul's account was, however, untrue.
