Riiken was a Human male serving in the military of his homeworld , Onderon , for some time prior to General Vaklu ' s efforts to overthrow the planet ' s monarch , Queen Talia , in 3951 BBY . As a Captain of the Guard placed in charge of maintaining order within the Merchant Quarter of the walled capital city of Iziz , Riiken remained loyal to Talia ' s regime despite his troops ' sympathy for the General and former resistance fighter against the Mandalorian occupation . During the unrest of the Onderon Civil War , Captain Sullio of the Onderon Military was murdered in the streets of Iziz , and Riiken was placed in charge of the investigation . Soon , Doctor Dhagon Ghent , a friend of Sullio , was arrested as a suspect after Riiken had heard eyewitness accounts of a fight between the two fellows . Later , a former Jedi Knight , Meetra Surik , accompanied by Mandalore the Preserver , the leader of the Mandalorians , visited Onderon . Riiken was approached by them , and informed Surik of the doctor ' s arrest as well as giving her general information on his homeworld in addition to snippets of its history . When she and Ghent ' s friend , Nikko , were able to gather the evidence needed to exonerate the physician , those were presented to the Captain . Riiken watched a recording from the protocol droid S - 0D3 - GE3 , one that proved the murderer had come from the Merchant Quarter , which conflicted with eyewitness reports that placed Ghent in his office at the time , on the opposite end of the plaza . Their exchange was interrupted , however , when a major attempted to remove Riiken from the case ; Surik then turned to the newcomer and presented the same evidence , forcing him to fold . Ghent was swiftly set free . In the wake of this incident and a number of fights in the western part of the Merchant Quarter , Riiken chose to relocate his post , intent on patrolling the sector more effectively , hoping to prevent further violence ; as it happened , that was Sullio ' s former posting . Though Riiken was loyal to the current monarch , many of the troops under his command were Vaklu supporters . His loyalty to Talia , who embraced the Galactic Republic and urged peaceful cooperation , would lead directly to his imprisonment during the Second Battle of Onderon . Riiken was freed by Surik when she penetrated the Iziz Royal Palace in an effort to forestall Vaklu ' s attempt at a Sith - aided coup d ' etat . Joining with Surik and the other Royalists , Riiken took a decisive role in the battle by giving her the security code needed to open the door leading to the Queen ' s throne room . After the battle ended , Riiken was promoted to the rank of major . Some time later , he was sent to planet Telos IV in command of an emergency relief force which consisted of a platoon of Onderonian troops , during the Sith invasion of the planet ' s orbital habitation satellite . There , he once again encountered Surik , who led the charge to repel the invading Sith trooper s from the station with the assistance of Riiken ' s detachment . Personality and traits . Riiken was a bald , dark - skinned man with brown eyes . A competent soldier and leader , Riiken was a good - natured pragmatist who took his duty seriously . During his service , he learned that a long - term career required one to do his or her job and not question the system . Although he often harbored doubts about the basic ability of higher - ups within the military , he was careful to keep his thoughts to himself or , in the case of Meetra Surik , anyone whom he considered trustworthy . Riiken was devoted to his homeworld and its people , and thus did not shy away from danger to ensure that the peace was kept ; that included his loyalty to Queen Talia , who was seen by many as the sort of leader one could trust . He was also a skilled investigator , as he was put in charge of the investigation into the death of Sullio , a fellow military officer . Beyond his duties as a soldier , Riiken loved to collect stories about Onderon ' s history , including the Beast Wars and how they came to happen , as well as pointing out interesting tidbits of information to curious tourists . He did not often get the chance to relate his tales , and he was always happy to do so when the opportunity presented itself . Equipment . Riiken wore the standard Onderonian military officer ' s uniform . During combat , he used a blaster rifle . Behind the scenes . Riiken was created for " " , a video game of Obsidian Entertainment , first released in late 2004 . In the game , he was voiced by Phil LaMarr . Riiken ' s appearance overlaps with one of the possible choices for a male Jedi Exile , the player character . Therefore , if the player chooses the Exile to look like him , Riiken ' s appearance will change accordingly . Aside from supporting Talia ' s faction , which is considered the canon ical flow of events , there are other paths the player can take in the game . At the request of a Vaklu supporter named Anda , the Exile can remove the three Captains of the Guard in order to weaken the Royalist military in preparation for the attack on the Royal Palace . Anda is willing to pay the Exile 2 , 500 for each one she removes . If the Exile supports Vaklu during her initial visit to Onderon , she has the option of having Riiken dishonorably discharged for not being loyal to his commanding officer , either through means of normal persuasion or by using the Force to persuade him . He can also be killed while he is patrolling the Merchant Quadrant alone . Subsequently , Riiken will not make an appearance at the Battle of Telos IV . If Riiken appears on Citadel Station during the Battle of Telos IV , it is possible for him to engage in combat with the Sith forces in the Module , even though he is not equipped with a weapon . This will only occur if all of the unidentified members of the Khoonda Militia are killed by the wave of Sith forces , and the player retreats back into Citadel Station ' s Ithorian Compound , leading the Sith forces into it as well . Riiken could also be killed by these Sith , assuming that the weapons they have equipped are strong enough .
