Tol Skaros was a Force - sensitive Whiphid who lived during the time of the Galactic Empire and worked as an enforcer for the Hutts . He later became an independent bounty hunter and regularly carried out assignments for the Empire . After the Dark Jedi Thaum Rystra found Skaros , he offered to make the Whiphid his apprentice . Skaros agreed , and Rystra trained him to use the dark side of the Force . Rystra wanted Skaros to be prepared to fight other Force - users , so he instructed him in various fighting styles that were used by the Jedi , as Skaros refused to learn how to use a lightsaber like most Dark Jedi did until he was skilled enough to construct one himself . Using the money that he had earned while working as a bounty hunter , and some additional contributions from Rystra , Skaros purchased various weapons that would aide him in fighting experienced Force - users . He also obtained several cybernetically - enhanced Nek battle dogs and three stolen Viper probe droids . Confrontation on Dalicron - 4 . Rystra was himself the apprentice of the Sith spirit Valik Kodank and wanted to resurrect her to a physical form . He believed that he could achieve this by using the Force energy of Caeleb , a Force - sensitive child who had been referred to in an ancient prophecy as the " Child of Light . " Caeleb lived with his family on the planet Dalicron - 4 in the Outer Rim Territories , and Rystra decided to send Skaros there to capture the child . Caeleb ' s parents were both trained to use the Force , so Rystra believed that the assignment would give Skaros some useful combat experience against fellow Force - sensitives . Rystra contacted Skaros ' starship , a Z - 10 Seeker , via a holoprojector . He gave his apprentice the coordinates of Dalicron - 4 and ordered him to kill Caeleb ' s guardians , and then return with the child . Before flying to the Dalicron - 4 settlement of Dalia , Skaros promised Rystra that he wouldn ' t fail to complete the mission . Skaros landed his ship in the settlement ' s landing field and then traveled to a farm where Caeleb ' s grandfather , an elderly Jedi named Gel , lived . Skaros interrogated the old man to try and force him to reveal Caeleb ' s location . Gel attempted to resist Skaros but didn ' t have the strength to succeed . Skaros pretended to have captured Gel ' s granddaughter Jhara and threatened to feed her to his battle dogs if the Jedi didn ' t tell him where Caeleb was . Gel gave in and told Skaros where Caeleb lived with his parents in a house that was sited beneath a tree , where the ancient Jedi Master Duumas had created a " bubble " that was devoid of the Force . Skaros then departed the house , leaving Gel fatally injured . With his probe droids and battle dogs , Skaros traveled in a skiff toward Caeleb ' s house . He stopped near the building , and after observing the family through a set of macrobinoculars , he tapped a code into his wrist comlink . After receiving two beeps in reply , Skaros moved his skiff closer to the house and attacked Caeleb ' s parents . Skaros commanded his battle dogs to attack Caeleb ' s mother , while he attacked Caeleb ' s father himself . The man fought Skaros with a green - bladed lightsaber but lacked Skaros ' combat expertise , and when the battle dogs killed his wife , he was overcome with grief and was dispatched by the Whiphid . A short time before Skaros arrived on Dalicron - 4 , Gel had sent message to the Alliance to Restore the Republic , requesting that Caeleb be placed in the care of Luke Skywalker , an Alliance commander and Jedi . The Alliance sent the crew of the YT - 1300 light freighter " Lazy Katarn " to Dalicron - 4 to find Caeleb , and Gel had sent Jhara to meet them . Jhara and the Alliance agents arrived at Caeleb ' s house just as Skaros finished off the boy ' s father , and they approached the Dark Jedi . Skaros was alerted to their presence when one of his probe droids shot Jhara , and he shouted an order at his battle dogs and prepared for combat while the probe droids attacked the agents . The Trandoshan Goort and the Human Garek Tolas attacked Skaros , while the rest of the agents engaged in combat against the probe droids and battle dogs . Skaros attempted to keep the fight within the confines of the Force bubble , but he was eventually killed by Goort and Tolas . The agents then took Caeleb and left Dalicron - 4 with him . Rystra later traveled to the scene of the battle and observed the body of his apprentice through a pair of macrobinoculars . Four months later , Rystra kidnapped Caeleb and traveled with the child to the moon Nar Shaddaa , where he met with representatives of the Pamorjal Freeman ' s League , a resistance group that opposed the actions of mega - corporations on the planet Pamorjal . The team of Alliance agents who had defeated Skaros were again tasked with finding Caeleb and began tracking Rystra , who planned to slow them down by persuading the Freeman ' s League to attack the agents . Rystra told the representatives that the agents had killed Skaros and warned the League to be cautious . Personality and traits . Skaros stood 1 . 6 meters high , the average height for a Whiphid . He was covered in thick , white fur and had black - colored eyes . He was completely loyal to Thaum Rystra and was eager to perform any task that Rystra set for him . Skaros was also very ruthless and had considerable combat experience . Skaros wore armor and carried various pieces of equipment to assist him in his assignments , including a wrist comlink , which he could use to contact people , and a set of macrobinoculars , which he could use to view things from a distance . He was armed with a quarterstaff and a vibrodagger . Behind the scenes . Tol Skaros was created by Lee Pickler in " Child of Light " , a supplement to the " Star Wars Roleplaying Game " . In the supplement , the players role - play as the group of Alliance agents who fight Skaros . The way their battle is fought can vary , depending upon the actions of the player characters . If any of the players reveal themselves to be Force - sensitive , Skaros asks them to meet him in honorable combat and claims that it is unfair if all the player characters fight him at the same time . " Soulsaber " , the second adventure in the " Child of Light saga " , confirmed the canon set of events during the fight , revealing that it was Goort and Tolas who killed Skaros .
