- Description: Grunnar and his sister, Una, are a bonded pair of Hu-Ed, a species intrinsically linked through a profound force and emotional connection. They are not a family in the traditional sense, but two halves of a single whole. Their purpose is creation and guardianship. They were awakened from a centuries-long hibernation by Krass, who sensed their power and pure if untamed connection to the Force. She offered them a new home and a new purpose: not to guard a dark treasure, but to help build.

- Appearance: Grunnar is a giant of a being, standing nearly three meters tall. His skin is a deep, earthy tan, rough and pebbled like mountain rock, with swirling patterns resembling geologic strata. He has a large bovine head with intelligent, deep-set eyes that glow with a soft, earthen brown light. His two immense, curving horns are etched with runes of protection and strength. He has a shaggy black mane and massive, four-fingered hands.
- Description: Grunnar is the calm, steadfast center of the pair. He is patient, deliberate, and speaks in a low rumble that sounds like shifting tectonic plates. His connection to the Force is through the earth and his own species; he is an artist of immense, crushing forces. He feels most at peace when his hands are shaping stone or when he is in silent communion with his sister. He respects Krass deeply for her skills and for giving them a purpose beyond mere hibernation and guarding.

- Notable Possessions: A heavy pendant made from a shard of the first arch she and Grunnar raised together.
- Holdings: A share in the forge's holdings.
- Appearance: Slightly smaller than her brother but no less imposing, Una shares the same tan, rocky hide and bovine features. Her horns are shorter and sweep back along her head rather than curving forward. Her eyes are the same glowing brown, but they are constantly moving, scanning, and perceiving. She is more expressive, her ears and snout twitching to convey emotion.
- Description: Where Grunnar is the builder, Una is the guardian. She is more alert and perceptive, her Force sensitivity acting as an early warning system for the entire forge. She is fiercely protective of her brother, Krass, and their home. She is the one who listens to the force presences while Grunnar provides the power, Una provides the precision and awareness. She is more social than her brother but still deeply reserved, trusting only their small circle completely.
Grunnar and Una were born into a pair tasked with guarding a forgotten darkside tomb on Shri-Tal. They hibernated for centuries, their natural attunement to the dark side nourishing them. However, the inherent goodness in the air and world from the jedi presence and purification caused a slow, quiet shift against their nature. They did not attack those who came to the tomb; they merely watched, feeling the conflict within the dark side energies.
Their hibernation was broken by Krass, who was drawn to the planet by battle against the Taungs with the silver jedi. She sensed the two immense, slumbering presences not as threats, but as potential. She did not fight them; she spoke to them. She offered a vision of creation, of building something new and a life rather than guarding something old and rotten. Their bond, which had only ever known a directive to protect, was suddenly presented with a choice. Together, they chose to follow Krass.
Now, at the forge, they have learned to re-channel their innate Force Sense from seeking darkness to seeking balance and harmony. Their bond is the core of their strength; they feel each other's emotions and physical states, working in perfect, silent synchrony. They represent a redeemed purpose, using the power that was meant to make them jailers to instead become creators.
