** Clarification: The first game accidentally screws it up on the ''Leviathan''. During the initial escape scene, you can talk to one of the prisoners. The game just uses the standard dialogue interface no matter who you pick, so it comes off as HK channeling the player character instead of being his usual self.

Surprising because the encounter takes place around halfway through the game and, since Trask hasn't been mentioned since his death up until that point, the player is likely to have forgotten about him.

He carries out the bombardment when Malak mentions the fate of his predecessor. It's also later revealed in supplemental material that the only reason he joined Revan and Malak was to keep his command intact and his men together.

He praises light-sided acts in the first game, at least the few on Dantooine, anyway. In the second game allows himself to get captured by bounty hunters in an effort to avert all-out war on Dantooine ([[Nice Job Breaking It Hero|which you screwed up]]), then goes off to fight the mercenaries on his own for no reason other than to buy you time to prepare Khoonda for the inevitable invasion. Sure, all in all he may be short-sighted and judgmental, but his heart's in the right place. He also accepts that he was overly harsh to the Exile after she helps take down Azkhul.

When you call her on this, she explains that she uses the Force in order to understand it ({{spoiler|so she can kill it}}), but also concedes that she might just be a hypocrite who's grown too dependent.

* [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]: Although he hadn't overthrown Talia by then, Vaklu used powers as commander-in-chief to declare martial law on several city districts, used the media to exaggerate the incident with the Ebon Hawk and breed distrust towards the Republic, incited his supporters to riot (even attempt assassination), cut off diplomatic and economic ties with the Republic, spread rumors of Republic spies within the Onderonian capital city and used the military to arrest them. Note that most of those "spies" were journalists that openly criticized Vaklu, or off-worlders with close ties with the Republic. He even used the Onderonian navy to blockade the planet, thereby forcing Republic trading ships to be inspected in order to "search for Republic treachery", despite (or ''because'' of) the decrease in economic benefits to Onderon as a member of the Republic that prompted from the blockade.

* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: Although he already layed out a plan to initiate his coup, Vaklu still needed to draw support away from the palace to make it vulnerable to an assault, so he insighted his more radical supporters (like Ponlar) to enact riots near the palace gates. Meanwhile, Anda would offer credits to the player if you agreed to draw military strength and officers away from the Sky Ramp, the most direct route to the palace, thereby allowing Vaklu's forces to attack the Iziz Royal Palace with less resistance when fighting broke out.
