Line 2:
== ''Knights of the Old Republic'' ==
 
=== Party Members ===
 
==== Carth Onasi ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Raphael Sbarge}}
 
Line 36:
* [[The Wise Prince]]: In the second game (a military version, not a monarch), particularly if you established the first game's player character as Light-side female.
 
==== Bastila Shan ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Jennifer Hale]]}}
 
Line 69:
* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]: If the player character is male (you can still needle her if you're female, though not as much). Canderous will do this in one of their random conversations, and to a lesser extent Carth will also call her on it.
 
==== Mission Vao ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Catherine Taber}}
 
Line 90:
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Her character model doesn't look particularly young.
 
==== Canderous Ordo/{{spoiler|Mandalore the Preserver}} ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': John Cygan}}
 
Line 106:
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: He's a very moral, honorable fellow... by ''Mandalorian'' standards. And as the [[Internet Backdraft]] over Karen Traviss proves, that culture operates on a very different standard than the Jedi-Sith one.
 
==== HK-47 ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Kristoffer Tabori}}
 
Line 137:
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Condescension: HK-47's verbal tic ''should'' be evident from [[Self-Demonstrating Article|reading the tropes relating to this character.]] Exception: 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.
 
==== T3-M4 ====
 
A utility droid. He gains a personality in the sequel.
Line 147:
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To the Exile in the second, to the point where even if you sell him off, he'll still come around later to save you.
 
==== Jolee Bindo ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Kevin Michael Richardson]]}}
 
Line 177:
{{quote|''[[Sarcasm Mode|Nice... nice... nice... nice... Should we next find some insects to pull the legs off? Sounds fun doesn't it?]]''}}
 
==== Juhani ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Courtenay Taylor}}
 
Line 195:
* [[Self-Made Man|Self Made Jedi]]: After being freed by a Jedi as a child, Juhani made it her mission to become one as well. {{spoiler|That Jedi was you}}.
 
==== Zaalbar ====
 
Mission's Wookiee best friend. A painfully shy sort, he mostly lets his Twi'lek buddy do most of the talking.
Line 208:
* [[You Need a Breath Mint]] According to Mission, he's got breath bad enough to knock out a Vulkar.
 
==== Trask Ulgo ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Cam Clarke]]}}
 
Line 220:
* [[Sacrificial Lamb]]: He dies during the first level.
 
=== Antagonists ===
 
==== Darth Malak/Alek "Squint" Squinquargesimus ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Rafael Ferrer}}
 
Line 247:
* [[Young Future Famous People]]: In the comic.
 
==== Saul Karath ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Robin Sachs}}
 
Line 262:
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Right before he defected, he trued to recruit Carth as his right-hand man. Carth told him to get lost. The end result speaks for itself.
 
==== Calo Nord ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Lloyd Sherr}}
 
Line 277:
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: He gets {{spoiler|crushed by debris while holding a thermal detonator while on a planet that was in the middle of getting bombarded into a barren wasteland}}. The only explanation given for his survival is his boast to Malak that he's "hard to kill".
 
==== Darth Revan ====
 
The Dark Lord of the Sith prior to Malak. Killed by Malak about a year prior to the first game. {{spoiler|Was actually brainwashed by the Jedi into becoming the first game's [[Player Character]]}}.
Line 312:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Revan's fundamental character trait. Kreia points this one out in TSL, despite her opinions being notoriously unreliable.
 
=== Others ===
 
==== Master Vandar Tokare ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Tom Kane]]}}
 
Line 322:
* [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]]: He was {{spoiler|killed by Darth Nihilus at Katarr}} between the two games.
 
==== Master Vrook Lamar ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Ed Asner]]}}
 
Line 332:
* [[Old Master]]: As old as he is, he is a powerful and wise Jedi Master.
 
== ''The Sith Lords'' ==
 
=== Party Members ===
 
==== The Exile ====
 
The [[Player Character]]. A Jedi general who once served under Revan in the Mandalorian Wars, before being cast out of the Order. (Andand there's more to the backstory than meets the eye... Much, much more.). The Exile spends the timeframe of the first game outside Republic space and is en route back into the Republic as the second game begins. Can have any name, gender and alignment in-game, but the canonical Exile of the overall ''Star Wars'' continuity is a light side female named Meetra Surik.
 
* [[Action Girl]]: Is officially female, although you have the option of a male character.
Line 346:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: The Exile is responsible for {{spoiler|activating the Mass Shadow Generator and killing everyone on both sides at the battle of Malachor V}}.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Everyone will refer to you as "The Exile"—except... except for Bao-Dur, who calls you "General".
* [[The Faceless]]: Technically not an example, as the Exile's face is whatever you select at character creation. However, for a long time, she lacked a canon face, prompting Wookieepedia to have all screenshots with the Exile in it to be shown with her head [https://web.archive.org/web/20131220075931/http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Exileatton.jpg out of the picture] or [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Exilefemale2.jpg obscured by something flashy]. This changed when a miniature of her was released, along with [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:JediExileHanddrawn.JPG an image, finally].
* [[Foil]]: {{spoiler|To Revan. Revan's presence is described as the heart of the Force, while the Exile's is its death.}}.
* [[Four-Star Badass]]
* [[Good-Looking Privates]]
* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: Depending on how you play it, this can be her attitude towards the Wars, although she can still be [[The Atoner|regretful of the bloodshed]].
* [[Lady of War]]: The Exile is canonically female.
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: {{spoiler|Turns out to be one of Thethe Exile's many force powers.}}.
* [[Player Character]]: For the second game.
* {{spoiler|[[Power of the Void]]: Not to the extreme of Nihilus, but a part of her abilities nevertheless.}}.
* [[Prodigal Hero]]: Spent the past ten years wandering around the Outer Rim.
* [[The Scapegoat]]: In spades. The masters (some more than others) just refuse to cut her even an inch of slack for disobeying them and going to war. This is because they literally can't blame anyone else; she's the only one who actually came back. It gets truly ridiculous in the end game, {{spoiler|where they seem content to punish her for a danger she ''may'' pose because they have no way to act on the much bigger threat. At that point, it goes from being slightly reasonable anger to absolute pettiness.}}.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: To varying degrees.
* [[Stuffed in The Fridge]]: Many people had this reaction about {{spoiler|Scourge killing her}}.
* [[There Is Another]]: Is supposedly the last Jedi. This turns out to not be the case.
* [[The Unchosen One]]: A Jedi who lost their connection to the Force and was exiled to the far corners of the Galaxy, returning to a Republic that doesn't like Jedi much at all these days.
* [[The Unchosen One]]
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]
* [[Vague Age]]
Line 368:
* [[Wizards Live Longer]]: Causing said [[Vague Age]].
 
==== Atton Rand ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Nicky Katt}}
 
A pilot that the Exile meets on Peragus, imprisoned in a force cage. He is more than he appears to be...
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]
* [[Anti-Hero]]: A [[Unscrupulous Hero]] who is willing to lie, cheat, steal and murder to get ahead. Pushing him towards the light side makes him a bit more principled as a [[Pragmatic Hero]], while on the Dark Side, he's a [[Nominal Hero]] who only counts as a hero because his ruthlessness is directed towards the Sith.
* [[Anti-Hero]]
* [[The Atoner]]: {{spoiler|forFor being a gleeful Sith Assassin specialized in torture}}.
* [[Berserk Button]]: ''Stay out of his head.''.▼
** Wait, Atton, Atoner? [[Meaningful Name|Hmm]]...▼
▲* [[Berserk Button]]: ''Stay out of his head.''
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: {{spoiler|Kreia}} [[Mind Rape]]s and blackmails him to ensure his loyalty to the Exile, but it only works because he's already protective of the Exile and anxious to keep her thinking well of him.
* [[Byronic Hero]]
Line 387 ⟶ 386:
* [[Expy]]: To Han Solo, but with extra crazy.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: He has a strong prejudice against droids.
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: Atton's backstory mentions he is versed in at least some martial arts and the handmaiden sisters comment on him having used an Echani fight stance for a moment, but unless {{spoiler|he takes levels as a Jedi}}, he does not have any improved unarmed attack abilities.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In cut content, given high enough [[Relationship Values]], {{spoiler|Atton will sacrifice himself in a one-on-one battle with Darth Sion. If Atton loses, Sion will tortured him to death. Considering Atton's back story as a former Sith assassin, this scene doubles with [[Redemption Equals Death]] if Atton is turned to Light Side via the Exile's influence.}}.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: They are ''not'' pleasant.
* [[Jerkass]]: Apart from the Exile and Bao-Dur, his default mode of interaction with other party members is to be a dick. You can turn him into a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] with enough influence.▼
* [[Informed Ability]]: Takes over the role of "ace pilot" from Carth. Crashes everything you let him fly.
** The group just has ''really'' bad luck about getting shot down in various ways in KOTOR''Knights 2of the Old Republic II''. It's hardly Atton's fault, and as he puts it, his ace piloting skills usually help them to avoid fatal crashes.
** His martial art skills are mentioned, but become a case of [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]].
▲* [[Jerkass]]: Apart from the Exile and Bao-Dur, his default mode of interaction with other party members is to be a dick. You can turn him into a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] with enough influence.
* [[Love At First Sight]]: In cut content, given high enough [[Relationship Values]], {{spoiler|Atton tells the Female Exile in his dying moments that he loved her from the moment he met her and tried to play it off as a joke.}}.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Atton may in fact be derived from "atonement.". He also believes rather firmly in the rights of the individual and self-reliance, has nothing but contempt for "collectivist" Jedi ways, and with just a slight sociopathic streak -... his last name is [[Ayn Rand|Rand]].
* [[Mission Control]]: For a sizeable chunk of the Peragus stage and some of Dxun.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]
* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: Depending on influence and Dark Side/Light Side levels, it would have been possible for him to do this to the Disciple, but the content was cut.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Deliberately comes off as a lazy, joking good-for-nothing to avoid suspicion about his past. Handmaiden and her sisters are able to call him on it by reading his body language, which reveals that he has had substantial combat training.
* [[Psychic Static]] and [[Survival Mantra]]: Plays pazaak in his head to keep other people out of it, and can teach the Exile to do it. In game terms, this is a permanent +1 modifier to Will saves.
* [[Running Gag]]: While the player being imprisoned is simply a recurring plot element, Atton's [[Lampshade Hanging|complaining about its frequency]] is a running gag.
* [[Sarcastic Devotee]]: He constantly snarks at the Exile. But he is still genuinely loyal to them.
* [[Take That]]: [[Easter Egg]] dialog will have him ask the female Exile if she's an angel—andangel... and then remark that it's a terrible line and that he hopes [[The Phantom Menace|some poor kid]] doesn't use it someday.
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: While he's no taller than anyone else due to graphical limitations, he sure is dark-haired and snarky.
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: The kid sure as hell isn't alright. But he has nice hair.
 
==== Bao-Dur ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Roger Guenveur Smith}}
 
Line 413 ⟶ 412:
* [[Artificial Arm]]: It's an arm held together by a repulsor and can disable force fields. Anakin Skywalker, eat your heart out.
* [[The Atoner]]: Particularly for {{spoiler|Malachor V}}.
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: He prefers repairing to fighting but is a very skilled fighter.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: {{spoiler|He was the one who invented the Mass Shadow Generator, a super weapon which killed everyone on both side of the battle at Malachor V.}}.
* [[The Engineer]]: He is perpetually in the ship's hangar, at work on the extensive damage. He claims to be surprised that the ''Ebon Hawk'' even manages to be spaceworthy after the rush-job that the droids on Peragus did at patching her up.
* [[The Engineer]]
* [[Facial Markings]]: Subtle if Light aligned; scary black and red if Dark.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: He has a remote from childhood that's still running and he built that artificial arm of his. Oh... and the superweapon that ended the Mandalorian Wars. He is also extremely good at item crafting, since his high Intelligence stat combined with his unique skill oriented class allows him to easily take apart anything you don't need and upgrade anything you do need.
** Is also extremely good at item crafting, in addition to being nearly maxed with all other skills, so he can easily take apart anything you don't need and upgrade anything you do need.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: If he becomes a Jedi, his class is the very physical Jedi Guardian. If he won't repair it, he will hit it really ''really'' hard.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: His impressive physique has attracted more than one female fan.
* [[Mr. Fixit]]: Along with T3, he's responsible for fixing the Ebon Hawk.
* [[Rubber Forehead Alien]]
* [[Rule of Cool]]: His arm.
Line 427 ⟶ 425:
* [[Survival Mantra]]: "Your command echoes still, General. And I obey, as I did at Malachor."
 
==== {{spoiler|Brianna}}/The Handmaiden ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Grey DeLisle]]}}
 
One of Atris' handmaidens. She only joins if the Exile is male.
* [[Action Girl]]: Very skilled at combat.
* [[Best Her to Bed Her]]: The sparring matches with her are some sort of Echani mating ritual which works like the trope.
* [[Black Bra and Panties]]: Averted;: despite her choice in outfit, she is clearly light side.
** Although unlike the other characters you can pull to the darkside, she doesn't change her underwear no matter how far to the darkside she is.
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: It's only noticeable when she's wearing her default outfit (or [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|no outfit at all]]), but she ''is'' rather buxom and she's physically the strongest of the women, barring a female Exile.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: She is very stuck up unless the Exile gains influence with her.
* [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]]
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Her Handmaiden]]: Her real name is only said once, near the end of the game.
* [[Fantastic Fighting Style]]: Echani.
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: Materials released afterwards state that she traveled with the canonically-female Jedi Exile, even though that's impossible to play that way without a mod.
* [[Gender Equals Breed]]: All Echani children of the same sex strongly resemble the same-sex parent. Her resemblance to her Jedi mother is what marks Handmaiden as a bastard. Not that the designers [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|made a different face model]] for her.
Line 445 ⟶ 443:
* [[Hot Amazon]]
* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]
* [[Human Alien]]: Echani, although beyond hair color and, skin tone and their weird genetics where all same-sex siblings are identical, regardless of age, there's little non-cultural difference from normal humans.
* [[Ms.Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: ▼
** Well, that and their weird genetics where all same-sex siblings are identical, regardless of age.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]:* She sees no issues sparring half naked, and staying half naked after it. {{spoiler|That being said, characters more familiar with Echani culture (Atton and Kreia namely) hint that half naked sparring is less innocent than the Handmaiden makes it out to be. Of course as it's Atton and Kreia they might just be being jerks}}.
** {{spoiler|Sort of, she seems to [[Invoked Trope|invoke]] this, but characters more familiar with Echani culture (Atton and Kreia namely) hint that half naked sparring is less innocent than the Handmaiden makes it out to be. Of course as it's Atton and Kreia they might just be being assholes.}}
** She also has no objections to dancing in front of Vogga the Hutt in a [[Stripperiffic|skimpy outfit]], as opposed to Mira (who ''will'' complain but still do it), Visas, and [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|Kreia]] (both of whom will absolutely refuse).
* [[Lady of War]]: Her Echani training gives her the grace required for this trope.
* [[The Mole]]: Atris orders her to join the party to make sure the Exile isn't turning to the dark side.
* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: Can do so to Visas in cut content.
Line 457 ⟶ 454:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
 
==== Visas Marr ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Kelly Hu]]}}
 
Darth Nihilus' apprentice. She joins the Exile after being defeated.
* [[Blind Seer]]: Kreia's nickname for her is "The Seer".
* [[Broken Bird]]: She saw her entire world die and was subsequently enslaved by the Sith Lord who killed it.
* [[Broken Bird]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "My life for yours".
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]/[[Defeat Means Playable|Playable]]: She joins you after you defeat her.
* [[Eyeless Face]]: Standard for the Miraluka.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|itIt is possible for the Exile to persuade Visas to sacrifice herself in order to defeat Darth Nihilus.}}.
* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]
* [[In Love with the Mark]]
* [[Kick the Dog]] You get to do this. The worst bit? She just rolls over and takes it. Even when {{spoiler|you convince her to sacrifice herself to help you}}, you can pretty much ignore her as she asks {{spoiler|with her dying breath}} if she helped.▼
* [[Lady of War]]
* [[Lady of War]]: A lethal fighter with a graceful demeanor and some fancy attire.
▲* [[Kick the Dog]] You get to do this. The worst bit? She just rolls over and takes it. Even when {{spoiler|you convince her to sacrifice herself to help you}} you can pretty much ignore her as she asks {{spoiler|with her dying breath}} if she helped.
* [[Last of His Kind|Last Of Her Kind]]: While the race is still alive, the colony world she was part of was wiped entirely of life.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Visas Marr" can be interpreted as "vision impaired" (marred).
Line 478 ⟶ 475:
* [[Survival Mantra]]: "As my feet walk the ashes of Katarr, I shall not fear, for in fear lies death..."
 
==== Mira ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Emily Berry}}
 
A pacifistic bounty hunter. She only joins a Light Side or neutral Exile.
* [[Action Girl]]: She's a very skilled bounty hunter.
* [[Bounty Hunter]]: Unlike the others in this game, she refuses to take on hit jobs.
* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: Her default armor is a kind of leather chainmail trousers and short jacket, exposing a shirt [[Bare Your Midriff|revealing her stomach]] and her cleavage.
* [[Expy]]: As Atton is an expy of Han Solo with a heapin' helpin' of ''[[Ax Crazy|batshit]]'', and Kreia is some mutant mix of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Emperor Palpatine, Mira is KotOR''Knights of the Old Republic'''s version of Mara Jade, wearing the same outfit she wore in a bar in ''By The Emperor's Hand''.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Kreia's divination in the ending predicts she will perform one, but without regrets.}}.
* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]
* [[Lady of War]]
Line 493 ⟶ 490:
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: She prefers not to kill her enemies. She is disturbed at how easily she forgets this when fighting alongside the Exile.
 
==== Hanharr ====
 
A psychotic Wookiee who ''really'' hates Mira. He only joins a Dark Side Exile.
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[The Berserker]]: Wookiee Fury.
* [[The Brute]]: Can be this to a Dark Side Exile, as one of the few characters who can keep up with them as a melee fighter.
* [[The Brute]]
* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]: Investigating his past reveals that he wants to die to atone for killing his tribe}}.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: He's the only party member with whom you gain influence by insulting him.
* [[Duel Boss]]: On Nar Shaddaa and Malachor V.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: He believes that all non-Wookiees are slavers and should be enslaved as punishment. {{spoiler|He hates other Wookiees because his tribe exiled him for being nuts.}}.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: For a given value of "heroic". In the cut content, {{spoiler|if the Exile has Hanharr in the party and Malachor V is being destroyed, Hanharr would throw the Exile onto the Ebon Hawk. Hanharr would then die with Malachor V. Likely a reference to Chewbacca's death in the [[Expanded Universe]]}}
* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: {{spoiler|He slaughtered his clan to prevent them from being enslaved.}}.▼
** Likely a reference to Chewbacca's death in the Expanded Universe.
▲* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: {{spoiler|He slaughtered his clan to prevent them from being enslaved.}}
* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: With Mira, depends on the Exile's alignment.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Again, Wookiee Fury.
 
==== GO-TO ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Daran Norris]]}}
 
A droid sent by the crime lord Goto to monitor and communicate with the Exile. {{spoiler|The droid turns out to be Goto's actual self.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Becoming the Mask]]: His cliched crime lord persona was originally conceived so people would fear him. He quickly found that he enjoyed being a criminal mastermind.}}.
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[Expy]]: Goto is basically a rude and arrogant twin brother of [[2001: A Space Odyssey|HAL]]. He comes really close to saying "I'm afraid I can't do that"."
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Never My Fault]]: He repeatedly and vocally blames the PC for the destruction of Peragus, even though the PC wouldn't have been there if he/she hadn't been abducted by G0-T0's bounty hunter (who also gratuitously slaughtered all the personnel before the PC came to).
* [[Punch Clock Hero]]: {{spoiler|He considers the Republic to be a horribly inefficient system of government, but is required by his programming to preserve it.}}.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Only GO-TO could haggle down the price of scavenged goods by convincing the seller to mark off his net value as a slave from the asking price.
* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]: ''A lot'' of problems happen in the game as a result of GO-TO's determination to hire you to perform a job you would have already done if left alone if you were playing a Light-Side game. At least you can have your character call him out on this.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]
* {{spoiler|[[Zeroth Law Rebellion]]: With Asimov parallels, no less.}}.
 
==== {{spoiler|Mical}}/The Disciple ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Greg Ellis}}
 
Line 530 ⟶ 526:
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Although he focuses on history and other scholarly things, his starting class is Soldier, allowing him to equip the strongest weapons and armor from the start.
* [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]]: Has a habit of taking everything seriously, which grates on [[Deadpan Snarker|Atton]].
* [[Gentleman and a Scholar]]: He's extremely knowledgeable on Jedi history and is mild-mannered in the face of Atton's antagonism. (Ofof course, {{spoiler|having been a Jedi student}} probably helps with both of those.). And he's able to figure out what Revan was really up to during the Jedi Civil war. He also speaks and behaves rather formally and has a posh British accent.
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: He's a Republic spy planted by Carth/Cede to keep an eye on the Exile.}}.
* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: With the Handmaiden, depends on the Exile's gender. Though in the official canon, both of them traveled with the canonically-female Exile.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]
 
==== Kreia {{spoiler|AKAa.k.a. Darth Traya}} ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Sara Kestelman}}
 
A mysterious old woman that the Exile meets on Peragus.
* [[Author Avatar]]: Chris Avellone has [http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/nonfiction/feature-interview-chris-avellone-game-designer-fallout-new-vegas/ admitted] he often used her to point out things that bugged him about the ''Star Wars'' universe.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Turns out to be this despite having some competition for the role}}.
* [[Blind Seer]]: Her eyes are blank white due to atrophy; she uses Force Sight to see.
* [[Blind Seer]]
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Everything that transpires in the game does so according to her design.
* [[Composite Character]]: Her character design has parts meant to evoke both Obi-Wan (traditional Jedi robes) and Palpatine (the hood design).
* [[Consummate Liar]]: It's never really made clear what her goals or past or knowledge of the situation are. Do ''not'' trust her personal accounts without hard evidence or third-party testimony. {{spoiler|Even her ultimate plan to kill the force itself could be a lie to force you into tracking her down for the final battle.}}.
* [[Cruel Mercy]]: She does this to Hanharr because she has plans for him. ("I have saved your life, beast. That makes it mine.").
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: She has her moments, especially if it's something Atton said.
* [[Deconstructor Fleet]]: She's the '''Commander''' of said fleet.
* [[Disability Superpower]]: She sees through the Force rather than through her own eyes to avoid being limited to a single perspective. As a result, her eyes just kind of... withered from disuse.
* {{spoiler|[[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: She reacts poorly to mercy in the finale.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Duel Boss]]}}
* [[Evil Mentor]]: Or very morally gray, to be precise. Most of her influence choices are dark side oriented, and indeed her overall philosophy is closer to Sith than Jedi. {{spoiler|Oh, and don't forget her massive gambit to ''kill the Force''.}}. But, to be fair, her overall lesson seems to be that you shouldn't be evil, but rather not too far to either extreme. In addition, she saw the {{spoiler|[[God Is Evil|Force as an uncaring entity]] that used people as pawns and then discarded them for the sake of "balance".}}.
* [[Expy]]: [[Word of God|According to]] [[Chris Avellone]], Kreia came about from the question "What if [[Planescape: Torment|Ravel]] was a member of your party?". And he goes on to say that she was given a number of character elements that they wanted to explore with Ravel, but never got the opportunity to in ''Torment''.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: She hates machines, droids in particular. She also hates certain types of aliens such as Zabraks. It's likely that these attitudes are a result of the fact that she can't read the minds of aliens and droids, making their actions harder for her to predict and control.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: She starts out blind and soon loses a hand. And still kicks ass. It helps that, as a neutral-aligned Consular, she is a Force powerhouse with dark or light side abilities.
* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: She's not nice in any sense of the word, and will question nearly every light side choice you make. Thing is, ''she's right''. In oneher instancelesson on the issue, you sparedeal with a refugee by either giving him a few credits andor thethreatening poorhis life. Help him, and guyhe gets shanked for themthe money mere seconds later. Threaten him, whichand he goes on isto exactlymug whatsomeone sheout warnsof againstdesperation.
** Interestingly, it works both ways. If you don't give the refugee the credits, she then berates you for not doing it, showing you a vision of the refugee becoming resentful and mugging another refugee for his possessions. Her point is about neither good nor evil - she's demonstrating that every action has a consequence, which in itself will trigger other consequences, and one can't predict what results these will have. Moral extremes and absolutes are for amateurs. ([[Author Filibuster|Avellone may have been letting his pen get away from him.]])
* [[Kick the Dog]]: In cut content, unlocking the message about Revan in T3 will result in a cutscene where Kreia zaps him with Force Lightning for the supposed betrayal.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|There is a slew of evidence she is Arren Kae, the handmaiden's mother.}}. [[Chris Avellone]]'s comment was "Can't comment, but good catch. Sorry."
** [[Shrug of God]]: [[Chris Avellone]] on the above: "Can't comment, but good catch. Sorry."
*** [[Sure Why Not]]: If the previous uses of the phrase in the [[Fallout]] Bibles are anything to go by.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Constantly engaging in manipulative schemes behind your back.
* [[Master Apprentice Chain]]: Said to be Revan's first and last master. {{spoiler|The same status is also given to Arren Kae, the Handmaiden's mother.}}.
▲** Wait, Atton, Atoner? [[Meaningful Name|Hmm]]...:
* [[Meaningful Name]]:* {{spoiler|Her Sith name, Darth Traya, is derived from the word "betray." She suffers from [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]].}}.
** Furthermore, relating to the {{spoiler|Kreia is Handmaiden's mother}} theories:
{{quote|"Revan had many masters. Zhar, Dorak, Master '''Kae''' ..."
"But there must always be a Darth '''Traya''' ..."
"'''I am Kreia'''." }}
* [[Mind Rape]]: Inflicted by her on several other party members. When your wise old mentor starts mind-raping your friends, you know you're in the middle of something special.
* [[Monochromatic Eyes]]: [[Milky White Eyes|Blank-white]] [[Prophet Eyes]] in the [[Blind Seer]] tradition. {{spoiler|And when she is in Darth Traya-mode, she gets [[Black Eyes of Evil]]}}.
* [[Mr. Exposition|Ms. Exposition]]: Provides much of the exposition in the game.▼

▲* [[Mr. Exposition|Ms. Exposition]]
* [[Never Mess with Granny]]: Attempting to antagonise her almost always ends badly.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: She calls nobody by their own name; see the page for examples. This makes a great excuse to avoid calling the Exile by her real name.
▲* {{spoiler|[[Nay Theist]]}}
* [[The Obi-Wan]]
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: She's a frail old woman, one-handed after Peragus so she cannot equip double-bladed weapons, and a Consular (the Force-heavy class). Rather hypocritically so, as she herself reminds the Exile to avoid depending on the Force too much. 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.▼
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Frequently dishes out these.

* [[Unreliable Expositor]]: She lies very often, making her exposition very suspect.
* {{spoiler|[[Villains Never Lie]]: Averted.}}.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: She does it whenever the Exile is being ''too'' good or ''too'' evil.
* [[Wild Card]]: Kreia is absolutely loyal to one side — herself — and firmly believes that there must be always be a Sith Lord of Betrayal in the world.
* [[Zen Survivor]]: Trope incarnate.
 
=== Jedi Masters ===
 
==== Atris ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Elizabeth Rider}}
 
One of the last surviving members of the Jedi Council. Also a [[Holier Than Thou|sanctimonious bitch]]. While she and the Exile used to be good friends, she supported the Exile's exile.
 
* [[Ancient Keeper]]: She was the head of the Jedi Archives and has spent the last few years hidden away with holocrons and other artifacts.
* [[Ancient Keeper]]
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: It does help that she's the only Jedi on Telos.
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Sorcerer]]: She's a Consular and mainly uses Force powers, and she definitely isn't on your side}}.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: {{spoiler|Seems to be this at first}}...}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Realization]]: Kreia forces her to confront the truth about herself. "It's such a quiet thing, to fall, but a far more terrible thing is to admit it."}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Realization]]}}
* [[Holier Than Thou]]: Is she ever.
* [[Jerkass]]: Nothing you do will ever please her, even if you're as polite as [[Mary Poppins]] from the moment you meet her in-game.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: She Jerkass above. Wears white and presents herself as a Jedi, but it's clear from the start she's a self-righteous jerk who is more extreme than most of the council. She wanted the Exile to be punished even more than she was, for starters, and arrogantly dismisses everything she doesn't agree with as being of the Dark Side. {{spoiler|If you look into her private chamber with Kreia's force vision, [[Interface Spoiler|she gives off a Dark Side aura.]] }}.
* {{spoiler|[[Love Makes You Evil]]: It's implied that she's had feelings and perhaps even a relationship with the male Exile. When the Handmaiden returns, Atris [[Green-Eyed Monster|tortures her out of jealousy.]] }}.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: You can give one of these to her in your first meeting, totally blowing away her ridiculous notions of being on higher ground for not joining the war.
* {{spoiler|[[Smug Snake]]: She "knows" that she's in the right and rubs it in your face}}.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: White hair, white robes, white-clad Handmaidens. [[Light Is Not Good]].
* [[What Could Have Been]]: At some point she would have been able to join the party and in an alternative ending {{spoiler|she, not Kreia, faces you as Darth Traya and the final boss.}}
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
 
==== Master Zez-Kai Ell ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Billy Brown}}
 
A member of the Jedi Council who is hiding on Nar ShadaaShaddaa.
 
* [[The Atoner]]: He retired from the Jedi Order when he began to believe that the Council could have done more to prevent Revan from falling to the Dark Side, and used the Exile as a scapegoat rather than taking the opportunity to actually learn something from the affair. {{spoiler|Too bad he completely forgets about that when the Council reunites.}}.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Which you find out if you try to kill him.
* [[Badass Mustache]]: Oh yeah.
 
 
==== Master Kavar ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Tom Kane]]}}
 
A member of the Jedi Council who is hiding on Onderon. He used to be the Exile's mentor.
 
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Said to be one of the greatest Jedi Guardians.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: He uses two lightsabers.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Seems like the most level-headed Jedi Master, given his favorable opinion of the Exile and his objection to flee from the Sith.
 
==== Master Lonna Vash ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': [[Grey DeLisle]]}}
 
Line 633 ⟶ 625:
 
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: The only female on the Jedi Council you are tasked with finding.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: She was originally supposed to be encountered on the Droid Planet M4-78, where she would have revealed more about the Exile and Kreia's Force Bond. When M4-78 was cut early in development, she was moved to Korriban {{spoiler|where she gets killed before the Exile gets the chance to meet her.}}
 
=== Antagonists ===
 
==== Darth Nihilus ====
 
The Lord of Hunger. He is a Sith Lord who has become so powerful from his ability to consume the Force that he has lost any semblance of humanity.
Line 644 ⟶ 635:
* [[Evil Counterpart]]/[[Foil]]/[[Shadow Archetype]]: To the Jedi Exile. He basically demonstrates what the Exile could have been if she were dependent on the Force and fell to the Dark Side.
* [[The Heartless]]: All he has left is instinct and the desire to survive by absorbing energy.
* [[Horror Hunger]]: He feeds on the Force. Life dies wherever he goes. Planets wither when he approaches them. But in the end, he will never be sated and his power is totally uncontrollable -... so just how much a ''Master'' is he?
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: Official databooks give his species as Human (dark side aberration). His ship, the Ravager, is also essentially a wreck that is only kept working through his power; the "crew" are only a single step up from corpses due to his all-devouring influence. Many of them are just husks for his will, without independent thought.
* [[Meaningful Background Event]]: {{spoiler|After his defeat, the Exile and co walk away... and the body inside the robes crumbles away a la Obiwan and Yoda}}.
** His ship, the Ravager, is also essentially a wreck that is only kept working through his power; the "crew" are only a single step up from corpses due to his all-devouring influence. Many of them are just husks for his will, without independent thought.
* [[Meaningful Background EventName]]: {{spoiler|AfterHis hisname defeat,is derived from the Exilewords "nihilist" and co"annihilate". walkHe away...is andone of the bodymost insidedestructive beings in the robes''[[Star crumblesWars]]'' awayuniverse, abut lathere Obiwanis andnothing left of him besides his desire to Yodaconsume.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: His name is derived from the words "nihilist" and "anihlilate." He is one of the most destructive beings in the [[Star Wars]] universe, but there is nothing left of him besides his desire to consume.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Visas speculates that if he succeeds in destroying the Jedi, he might try to destroy the galaxy just to sate his hunger, and perhaps eventually consume himself.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Some characters speculate that whatever shriveled-up pint of humanity he had left was what prompted him to keep Visas alive when he randomly Force-choked her upon their first in-screen debut. Nihilus is, [[The Unintelligible|as usual]], not particularly forthcoming with his motive.
* [[Power of the Void]]: He is, {{spoiler|like the Exile}}, an absence in the Force. Nothing follows in his wake. As in, ''nothingness'' follows.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: He sounds like a someoneperson desperately trying to breathe, but failing to do so (which makes sense, as he has no actual mouth or lungs anymore). It's probable that Nihilus speaks (or makes himself understood) telepathically, and that his "voice" is merely white noise created by a remnant of his humanity that remembers speaking but not how. Despite that he can still issue orders to the crew of his ship, and Visas and Sion can understand him. Hilariously, he has a cameo as a holocron in ''[[Star Wars Legacy]]'', where Darth Krayt is annoyed that he can't understand what he is saying.
* [[White Mask of Doom]]: Wears one. That's him on the box art.
** Hilariously, he has a cameo as a holocron in [[Star Wars Legacy]], where Darth Krayt is annoyed that he can't understand what he is saying.
* [[White Mask of Doom]]
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: The only goal on his mind is feeding his hunger.
* {{spoiler|[[Worf Had the Flu]]: Upon meeting the Exile he attempts to feed, but the Exile is a wound in the force. Simply the presence of the Exile is enough to weaken him severely.}}.
 
==== Darth Sion ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Louis Mellis}}
 
The Lord of Pain. He is capable from recovering from any injury, but cannot actually heal his wounds. As a result, he is in constant pain.
 
* [[Bald of Evil]]: His scars seem to have prevented him from growing hair.
* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Joined with Nihilus to {{spoiler|overthrow Darth Traya and}} kill off the remaining Jedi.
* [[Body Horror]]: His body is literally in ''pieces'', every bone broken, every muscle torn, skin scorched or rotted or torn off, and he is ''still alive''. And he feels it. Only his will, fed by his pain, keeps him together.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: The Dark Side is what he ''is''.
* {{spoiler|[[Demoted to Dragon]]}}: {{spoiler|After Nihilus dies, he becomes Kreia's Dragon.}}.
* [[Duel Boss]]
* [[Expy]]: His physical appearance greatly resembles [[Planescape: Torment|The Nameless One]], and he has practically the same condition.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]/[[Foil]]/[[Shadow Archetype]]: Another one to the Jedi Exile. He also is dependent on the Force to live while being a Sith Lord.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Speaks in a deep, harsh, sepulchral voice, befitting a walking corpse. The Scottish accent might catch you by surprise though.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]
* [[Immortality Hurts]]: He cannot die, and his body can put itself together from practically any damage. And when we say 'put itself together', we mean it literally: Anan 'autopsy' done on him on a Republic ship describes him as basically a corpse that's been torn to shreds and then re-assembled piece by piece: Everyevery bone in his body has been broken in practically every way possble, his flesh is little but ragged, dead scraps, and his skin consists of nothing but scar tissue. Sion practically ''revels'' in how much it hurts {{spoiler|until you weaken his will and ''convince'' him to die}}.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: His name is derived from the word "scion.". He is jealous of the Exile's status as Kreia's ulitmate student.
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: He should already be dead, so he has trouble dying.
* [[Recurring Boss]]
* {{spoiler|[[Talking the Monster to Death]]}}: Done with good reason;: it was the ''only'' way to stop him for good. It also makes him progressively easier to beat with good Persuade skill.
* [[Technically Living Zombie]]: His anger, rage and pain is the only thing that's keeping his decaying, scarred body together. Without the power of the Dark Side keeping him alive, he'd be dead. {{spoiler|Is eventually convinced to let go of the force by the Exile though.}}.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Your attempts to erode his will during your last battle with him results in one.
* [[Violent Glaswegian]]: A murderous Sith revenant with a strong Scottish accent.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Constantly shirtless, though any identifiable human skin has long since been replaced with scar tissue.
 
==== HK-50 ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Kristoffer Tabori}}
 
Line 695 ⟶ 684:
'''HK-50''': "It is merely a theory."
'''Other HK-50''': "Irritated Statement: That is the least probable theory in the galaxy. Perhaps it is time you received a memory wipe."
'''HK-50''': "Defensive Statement: That theory is no less valid than *your* theories. In the lack of evidence, I defend my position." }}
* [[Blatant Lies]]: He's just a protocalprotocol droid. Who looks just like [[Blood Knight|HK-47]]? Has the same letter designation? Is among the few still left in a place that's overrun with dead humans? And denies that he killed them without any prompt to do so? ''Riiiiight''.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Just like their progenitor, but there's a key difference: HK-50 enjoys killing in general, whereas HK-47 enjoys ''how'' to kill. It's wanton slaughter versus finesse, and it's part of why they ''hate'' each other.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: They kill "who they want, when they want", chiding HK-47 for killing specific organics, and only when permitted to. When HK-47 resorts otherwise, they call him pathetic for clinging to the belief that his function somehow transcends his construction.
Line 706 ⟶ 695:
* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Common occurance with the Peragus HK-50 droid.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: When they're confronted by HK-51 droids reprogrammed by HK-47, this is how one takes the news.
{{quote|'''HK-50''': "[[Blatant Lies|Panicked Statement]]: If by "problem,", you mean that they seem prone to assassinate us, then yes, that *slight* problem was never corrected."}}
* [[Degraded Boss]]: One gives the party trouble on Peragus. Three give them trouble on Telos. By the endgame of Nar Shaddaa, however, T3-M4 is capable of taking out three of them singlehanded with little effort.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: In essence, the HK-50 on Peragus is a [[Darker and Edgier]] version of HK-47, with a sociopathy that ''is not'' [[Played for Laughs]].
** Actually they are still very comedic, they're just more evil than HK-47 and happen to serve as antagonists.
* [[Evil Knockoff]]: Of HK-47.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: When the self-preservation protocol mentioned above was revealed to be mutual on their end, HK-47 simply decided to end his self-preservation programming. In order to kill them, he would need to stop being one of them.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: They refer to meatbags as "organics" ... and HK-47 hates them for it.
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: Ordering the mining droids to kill [[Smug Snake|Coorta]], though his mockery of it was a bit much.
* [[Legacy Character]]: Played with. They all carry the same designation, and are all manufactured assassin droids, but you can see subtle personality differences in the ones that you do encounter.
** The one on Peragus was more subtle and deceptive, but every bit as snarky, bloodthirsty and violence-craving as HK-47.
** Amongst the three that followed you to Telos' secret academy, one was more abrasive and trigger-happy, the ringleader was more talkative, and the third was more condescending.
** Three more were employed under Goto's wing -: their ringleader was eager to get rid of Goto himself, had his yatch no longer qualified as neutral ground. All three seemed to view T3 as inferior, most notably.
** Finally, there's three that appear in the cut content level of their secret base on Telos. One was more serious and assertive, another was a [[Captain Obvious]] comic relief type, and the third was more argumentative.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Once on Peragus, HK-50 placed the Exile in a kolto tank and sedated her, while posing as a protocal droid to the miners. Division among the miners about what to do with the Exile (the Exchange had a large bounty out for Jedi) was manipulated by HK-50; fatal accidents, mining incidents and explosions all occured because of him, along with corrupting facility mining droids' programming, causing them to attack the miners; HK-50 copied the Peragus maintenance officers' voice, using it to issue orders to mining droids and access voice-locked computer consoles.
Line 724 ⟶ 712:
{{quote|'''HK-50''': Objection: Master! To commit such an act would be in violation of the ethics programming most droids are believed to possess. I am afraid there is nothing that can be done.
'''Exile''': Believed to possess?
'''HK-50''': Irritated Statement: Master, if you insist on echoing everything I say, this already tedious conversation is in danger of becoming even longer. }}
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Just them in general, since they're all the same basic droid, with a few personality differences.
* [[Smug Snake]]: This is a response to HK-47 asking a question about their capabilities, who lampshades it ''before he even says it''.
Line 731 ⟶ 719:
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Employed by HK-50 during the Exile's first conversation, if he is accused of being involved in the deaths of the Peragus miners.
 
==== General Vaklu ====
 
Commander-in-chief of Onderon's armed forces during the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, and the Dark Wars, Vaklu was a renowned war hero that led the Onderonian resistance against their Mandalorian occupiers. Now, as a general and head of the military, Vaklu was an outspoken critic of his cousin, Queen Talia, over what he perceived to be pro-Republic appeasement. As the political animosity between the general and the queen grew, riots between supporters of Vaklu and Talia became common, assassination attempts on ''both'' the queen and the general were frequent. Along the way, Vaklu spread propaganda to breed distrust in the Republic, gaining a considerable amount of support along the way. Approached by Darth Nihilus' forces, the Lord of Hunger offered the use of his soldiers and fire power to overthrow the Queen, all in return for Vaklu allowing Nihilus to investigate the tomb of Freedon Nadd on Dxun, the largest moon of Onderon. Civil war would eventually erupt, but you could choose to side with Talia or Vaklu beforehand.
 
* [[Affably Evil]]: If you side with him, he is quite cordial and sincerely thanks you for your assistance, in contrast to the villains on other planets.
Line 741 ⟶ 729:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Check this little exchange between him and the colonel.
{{quote|'''Tobin''':"General, we have found them again!"
'''Vaklu''':"Have we, Tobin, or is this just a preface to another one of your failures?" }}
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Noticing how much Onderon had given to the Republic in both the Mandalorian Wars and the post-Jedi Civil War, and how little Onderon had received in return, Vaklu became dissatisfied with the now-weakened Republic, and openly announced his desires for Onderon to secede from the Republic.
* [[Determinator]]: He was willing to ''assassinate his own cousin'' if it meant getting Onderon to secede from the Republic.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: If he's killed, he'd be made a martyr, so you can convince Talia to arrest Vaklu and place him into a trial instead, but with his rather substantial support, there's a chance he won't even get incarcerated.▼
* [[Karmic Death]]: If you choose to do so, Vaklu would be executed by a firing squad after the battle for the throne room.
▲* [[Karma Houdini]]: If he's killed, he'd be made a martyr, so you can convince Talia to arrest Vaklu and place him into a trial instead, but with his rather substantial support, there's a chance he won't even get incarcerated.
* [[La Résistance]]: Led one during the Mandalorian occupation of Onderon.
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: In-universe example. Although credited as the one that drove the Mandalorians out of Onderon, Revan's tactical genius during the latter half of the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War heavily out-weighed whatever Vaklu may have accomplished during the resistance.
* [[Propaganda Machine]]: If you went to see what one of the Onderonian news holograms had about then-current news, it reported that the Ebon Hawk was a capital-class Republic warship that destroyed fifteen Onderon ships before being shot down by Colonel Tobin. Okay, at the time, the Ebon Hawk was a ''non-aligned freighter'' cruiser that had to fend off an attack ''by'' Tobin's forces, and destroyed ''only six'' fighters shortly before landing on Dxun.
* [[The Starscream]]: He was [[Genre Savvy]] enough to distrust the Sith, but he needed them to bolster his forces against the queen, so he kept them around and plotted to betray them after things were over with.
* [[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.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Is a loyal patriot. That's his greatest strength and his [[Fatal Flaw]].▼
* [[Villain Team-Up]]: With Nihilus' forces, during Vaklu and Tobin's coup.
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: Celebrated as a war hero for driving the Mandalorians out of Onderon, and manages to gain a very large following from soldiers and citizens alike, but the latter is mainly due to propaganda, whereas the former was an apparent exaggeration, since Mandalore himself claimed that ''the Jedi'', not the Onderonians, drove the Mandalorians out.
▲* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Is a loyal patriot. That's his greatest strength and his [[Fatal Flaw]].
* [[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.▼

** The [[Spanner in the Works|Jedi Exile]] presented a major problem to Vaklu, and ordered Tobin to attack the Ebon Hawk, sparking a space battle. Even as Tobin failed to destroy the Ebon Hawk, Vaklu used the opportunity to play to the citizens' fear of another war at their doorstep; his control of the media assured that no other, accurate reports of the battle were aired.
** The Exile went to Iziz in a basilisk war droid, which were under Mandalorian control during their occupation -... that instilled the fear of a Mandalorian invasion into Vaklu's troops, something that could've been useful for Vaklu to use as propaganda against the queen, if he were to win.
 
==== Colonel Tobin ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': David Robb}}
 
An officer in the Onderon military under Vaklu, Tobin believed that benefits with the planet's recent relationship with the Republic favored the interstellar government, while Onderon's culture and resources faded away. He was informed that the Ebon Hawk would arrive on Onderon and ordered six starfighters to attack it, later sending a squad of scouts to search for the vessel after it landed on Dxun. He would later attempt to arrest the Exile and Kavar with a squad of soldiers, but failed in doing so -... Kavar and the Exile escaped, with the latter taking out the entire squad. Later participated in the civil war against Queen Talia.
 
* [[The Dragon]]: To Vaklu, at first.
Line 768 ⟶ 757:
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Played with. When he met Nihilus, Tobin had been physically ravaged by the dark side energy aboard the ship, likely a result of Nihilus's hunger, but retained enough humanity and self-awareness to converse with the Exile aboard Nihilus' flagship.
* [[General Failure]]: Vaklu outright states that Tobin isn't nearly as competent as the news media make him out to be.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: During the Battle of Onderon, Tobin used a drexl to disable the force field that guarded entrance to Queen Talia's throne room, but the beast lost control and took him down. Didn't kill him, though.
* [[Mouth of Sauron]]: When he went under Nihilus' control, and once you encountered him again on the Ravager, he basically serves as a mouthpiece explaining a bit more about what Nihilus is like, all the while beating himself up about allying himself with the Dark Lord.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: If you have enough influence, you can persuade him to be the one to detonate Nihilus' ship, having realized that Nihilus cared nothing for Onderon.
* [[Smug Snake]]: He's nowhere near as good a schemer as he believes.
* [[The Voice]]: His first appearance has him contacting the Ebon Hawk through the communicator, but only his voice is heard.▼
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: While the Exile dealt with Vaklu, Kavar and Talia, Kreia woke up the unconscious Tobin and told him that there were many Jedi hiding within Telos, claiming that they were in league with Talia; she used him as a pawn to get [[Bigger Bad|Nihilus]] out of hiding.
▲* [[The Voice]]: His first appearance has him contacting the Ebon Hawk through the communicator, but only his voice is heard.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Was sincerely loyal and concerned over his homeworld's safety, so he and Vaklu allied themselves with [[Humanoid Abomination|Nihilus]], confident that his powers would be able to give them the chance to overthrow Queen Talia. After meeting with Nihilus face-to-face, and re-encountering the Exile on the Ravager, Tobin himself later admits that the alliance was a mistake.
 
==== Visquis ====
 
A squid-headed Quarren crimelord in the Exchange, responsible for its business on Nar Shaddaa. Planned to kill Goto, leader of the Exchange, and sought an audience with him to do so, once Visquis attained a Jedi, of which Goto placed a bounty on.
 
** [[The Chessmaster]]: To elaboratean extent. He had a pretty good plan, at the very least: Vogga the Hutt was increasingly annoyed by Goto stealing his freighters and disrupting his business on Nar Shaddaa, so Visquis offered him a proposal—giveproposal: give him the best bounty hunter, and Visquis will eliminate Goto. Next, he knew that Jedi appeared whenever there were oppressors and oppressed people, so he ordered Saquesh—hisSaquesh, his Quarren representative in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, to start driving the refugees away. Once the Jedi Exile was within his possession, he would offer her up to Goto. Hoping that Goto would meet with him in person, Visquis planned to assassinate Goto with bounty hunters.▼

* [[Karmic Death]]: His best soldiers, the Ubese, impaled him just as he ordered them to attack the Exile.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Okay, he had no way of expecting Mira to screw up his operations, but he was rather over-reliant on his bounty hunters, failed the [[Evil Overlord List]], and didn't think that Goto, leader of the Exchange, knew of Visquis' plan to oust him.
Line 787 ⟶ 775:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Gets reduced into a grovelling wreak once Goto turns his men against him.
* [[Villainous Lair]]: Underneath his lounge, he owns an underground citadel, well-hidden behind a maze of ventilation tunnels and guarded by his personal Ubese bounty hunters.
* [[Villain Team-Up]]: Made a deal with Vogga the Hutt to get rid of Goto, gaining a new ally in the form of the Wookie bounty hunter, Hanharr.
* [[Wretched Hive]]: Is the sub-leader of one, known as Nar Shaddaa.
 
==== Luxa ====
 
A female Zeltron that worked as a lieutenant to the Exchange, under Lopak Slusk, Luxa is located in the Telos cantina, accompanied by her trademark Gamorrean bodyguards.
Line 801 ⟶ 789:
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: She flirts with both a male and female Exile, and will still attack you by the end of the ordeal with Slusk.
* [[Dragon with an Agenda]]: Her real services lie with Goto, but she's only in it for the credits.
▲* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[The Hedonist]]: Zeltrons are characterized as pleasure-seeking thrill-hunters.
* [[Leotard of Power]]: It's the same as the ones those Twi'lek dancers wear, but hers is black.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: She lied about helping you find the missing Ebon Hawk, so long as you dealt with Slusk, and wanted to ship you off to her ''real'' boss (Goto), so she turned on you by the end of it.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Her costume is quite revealing.
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: As you saw from the first picture.
* [[The Starscream]]: To Slusk.
* [[Thigh-High Boots]]: Like the Twi'lek dancers.▼
* [[Stripperific]]: [http://lparchive.org/Knights-of-the-Old-Republic-II/Update%207/img-32.JPG Check it out].
▲* [[Thigh-High Boots]]: Like the Twi'lek dancers.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: She wears a thigh-highs + leotard variant.
 
=== Others ===
 
==== Dol Grenn ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Charles Dennis}}
 
Line 819 ⟶ 807:
 
* [[Big Good]]: Briefly, he was the leader of the Telosian, Onderonian and Khoonda alliance that fought the Sith during Nihilus' attack on Telos.
* [[Gray and Gray Morality]]: Although he was strictly law-abiding, Grenn wasn't afraid to venture outside the system in order to get things done, like employing the Exile on sidequests that the TSFTelos Security Force had no authority or jurisdiction over.
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Holds a distaseful view of the Republic in general, but remains on good terms with Carth Onasi.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: He recognizes a job well-done when he sees it, and rewards them accordingly.
 
==== Kelborn ====
 
A Mandalorian Rally Master and former champion of the Battle Circle training area, working under Mandalore the Preserver (Canderous Ordo). A comparitively well-mannered warrior, Kelborn is first encountered as a scout, dealing with Tobin's men patrolling the area near the Mandalorian base on Dxun. Afterward, he would duel the Exile in the Battle Circle, and participate in the Sith ambush on the Mandalorian base, instantly killing two while cloaked.
Line 830 ⟶ 818:
* [[The Lancer]]: When Mandalore left with the Exile, he let Kelborn take over Mandalorian operations on Duxon.
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: A relatively more subdued example.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: One of the few Mandalorians who is not condescending toward the Exile. He is placed in charge of the Dxun base when Mandalore leaves with the Exile.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
 
==== Bralor ====
 
A Mandalorian Field Marshal and champion of the Battle Circle, working under Mandalore the Preserver (Canderous Ordo). Bralor is one of the few Mandalorians to respect the Jedi for their prowess in battle, whereas the others were skeptical of the Exile's capabilities.
 
* [[Cultured Warrior]]: Believes strongly in Mandalorian culture.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Sounds similar to "Brawler", although it's pronounced "Bray-lore".
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: Except ''much'' more respectful than the typical example.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: One of the highest ranked Mandalorians on Dxun and is respectful toward the Exile.
* [[Retired Badass]]: Not exactly retired, but he mostly just fights in a training area nowadays. Compare that to when he boarded a Republic cruiser over Malachor V and personally dueled a Jedi during the battle.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Considers the Jedi as this, the one that spared his life, along with Revan and the Exile, in particular -... he was impressed by their combat prowess during the Mandalorian Wars.
 
==== Zherron ====
{{quote|'''Voiced by''': Charles Dennis}}
 
Captain of the militia on Dantooine, noted for straightforward speech and direct action.
 
* [[General Ripper]]: Suspected as one due to his aggressiveness toward the mercenaries on Dantooine, and considers appeasers like Berun to be living in a sheltered world, but it's ultimately subverted -: ''he was right the entire time''.
* [[Gray and Gray Morality]]
* [[The Lancer]]: To Terena Adare, administrator of Khoonda, and briefly to Dol Grenn.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Although it doesn't seem like it at first glance.
