Rune Haako

""We should not have made this bargain.""

- ―Rune Haako to Nute Gunray, talking about their agreement with the Sith Rune Haako was a male Neimoidian who served as the aide and second-in-command to Nute Gunray prior and during the Clone Wars.

Naboo Crisis
During the Invasion of Naboo, Rune Haako was one of the leading members commanding of the Trade Federation's occupation on the planet. However, he openly expressed to Gunray that he was doubtful that the Federation's secret advisor, Darth Sidious should be trusted. But, Queen Amidala, ruler of Naboo, managed to capture Gunray and Haako in the throne room of Theed Palace. After their capture they were taken to Coruscant to be put on trial. Aside from small fines, Haako and Gunray were let off the hook.

Clone Wars and death
Ten years later, Rune Haako became a member of the Separatist Council. The Separatists eventually got into a war with the Galactic Republic. Haako continued to serve Gunray through-out the war. Near the end of the war, the Council met on Utapau, where General Grievous informed them that they were to be sent to Mustafar for safety. After arriving on Mustafar, Sidious contacted the Council and told them that his apprentice, Darth Vader, was coming to reward them. When Vader arrived, he began to slaughter the Council. Soon after watching Rute Gunnay get struck down, Haako fled into the nearby conference room. However, this did little to delay Haako's death as Vader entered moments later and slaughtered him.
