Sharad Hett was a powerful male Human Jedi Knight who lived during the decades of relative peace prior to the Invasion of Naboo. A heroic and legendary figure in the pre-Clone Wars Galactic Republic, Hett was well known throughout the ranks of Jedi Order. He was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight.

He eventually grew weary of his fame and, after a disaster that destroyed his homeworld and killed his family, He exiled himself to Tatooine, and later became the warlord of a tribe of Tusken Raiders. He married a human slave named K'Sheek and had a son named A'sharad.
