Biography . Early life and career . Jor Torlin , a Human male , was born in the decades leading up to the Sith – Imperial War between the Fel Empire , led by Emperor Roan Fel , and the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances . In his youth , Torlin was raised on Korriban , the Sith homeworld and headquarters of Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt ' s One Sith Order . He was trained in their ways , but it was discovered that he lacked sufficient Force - sensitivity to truly become a Sith . He accepted a role as a Sith operative , using his limited knowledge of the dark side of the Force to assist him in his missions . Torlin carried out missions in the galaxy on the Sith ' s behalf before they revealed themselves by allying with Emperor Fel ' s Empire one year into the Sith – Imperial War . After the defeat of the Galactic Alliance and Darth Krayt ' s overthrow of Roan Fel in 130 ABY , Torlin continued to operate on the new Sith Empire ' s behalf , acting as a bounty hunter and locating people at various locations such as Nar Shaddaa and the Wheel , a space station located in the Besh Gorgon system in the Mid Rim . When he found his targets , Torlin typically reported his intel to his superiors , most often to the Sith Lady Darth Maladi , who was the head of Sith Intelligence and Assassination . During his career , Torlin occasionally used the surveillance services of the Chadra - Fan informant Haako , who lived aboard the Wheel . At some point during his career , Torlin acquired the " Raider " , a " Gladius " - class light freighter , using the ship on his missions for the Sith . By 137 ABY , during the Second Imperial Civil War , when Maladi replaced most of the agents of Imperial Intelligence with her own , Torlin was regarded as Maladi ' s preeminent operative . Search for Skywalker and death . In 137 ABY , Darth Maladi assigned Torlin to search for the former Jedi Cade Skywalker on behalf of Darth Krayt , who sought to use Skywalker ' s abilities with the Force to heal himself of the Yorik - Kul seeds that had been implanted in his body by the Yuuzhan Vong nearly a century before , which threatened to overtake the Dark Lord ' s body and mind . Torlin was contacted by Haako , who informed the agent that Skywalker was aboard the Wheel . Torlin instructed Haako to follow Skywalker aboard the station , and by the time Torlin met with the Chadra - Fan to confirm that he indeed saw Skywalker , the former Jedi had left the station . After telling Haako to discover Skywalker ' s location and his companions ' identities , Torlin was confronted by a group of ruffians . He attacked their leader and proceeded to fight the group , before he was hit over the head with a metal object . At that moment , the formerly retired Imperial Intelligence spy Morrigan Corde , who had been reactivated by Moff Nyna Calixte to help locate Skywalker , appeared and aided Torlin in combating the thugs . After they fled from the two Imperial agents , Torlin attacked Corde , who had set up the confrontation between Torlin and the thugs in order to make contact with Torlin . During the struggle , Corde used the knockout gas contained in her left arm gauntlet to disable Torlin and carried the Sith spy back to his ship . After the security forces aboard the Wheel let Corde aboard Torlin ' s ship , Corde inserted a micro - ampule containing a nerve toxin into Torlin ' s body , which she could activate in case Torlin attempted to kill her again . Torlin awoke aboard the vessel strapped to a seat by Corde , who introduced herself and threatened to kill him . After he called her bluff , she released him , and the two began discussing Skywalker ' s possible location . Corde brought the presence of two ships belonging to Galactic Alliance Remnant Admiral Gar Stazi and Fel - Imperial Captain Mingo Bovark , respectively , to Torlin ' s attention . Torlin and Corde came to the conclusion that the two leaders were discussing a potential alliance between the Galactic Alliance Remnant and Roan Fel ' s Empire - in - exile , and they worked together to create a plan to break up the negotiations by playing off the two sides ' mutual suspicions of the other . Torlin launched all six of his Command Override Limpet Droid s — devices which magnetically attached to a ship and enabled him to take control of the on - board computers — which all successfully attached to Bovark ' s shuttle . Torlin then took control of one of the ship ' s turbolasers , and fired on the Galactic Alliance starship . In the ensuing chaos , Admiral Stazi attacked Captain Bovark , who had to be rescued by the two Imperial Knight s accompanying him . After successfully sabotaging the negotiations , Torlin caused the C . O . L . D . devices to detach from Bovark ' s ship and left the Wheel with Corde aboard the " Raider " . When they arrived in orbit around the planet Ossus , which held the ruins of the Jedi Academy , Torlin scanned for heat signatures and found one in the jungles near the ruins . Despite Corde ' s suggestion that they look for Skywalker on the neutral planet of Hapes , Torlin landed the " Raider " a few kilometers away from the ruins . After Torlin and Corde disembarked the " Raider " , the former turned against the latter and opened fire at her with his heavy blaster rifle . Torlin pursued as she retreated , eventually locating her near a boulder . As he took aim to kill her , he began feeling the effects of the poison from the micro - ampule , which she had released when he began firing at her . As he lay dying , Corde explained what was happening to him and took out a holoprojector which displayed an image from her past as the wife of Jedi Master Kol Skywalker and mother of Torlin ' s target , Cade Skywalker . She then abandoned Torlin to his death , taking the " Raider " and departing Ossus . Personality and traits . Jor Torlin was a light - skinned Human male who had wavy brown hair and blue eyes . Despite lacking enough sensitivity with the Force to be a true Sith , Torlin was dedicated to the Sith cause and retained their values as an agent of Sith Intelligence . His skills as an agent led to him being reckoned as the foremost of Darth Maladi ' s operatives in 137 ABY . Despite his dedication , he still accepted pay from the Sith for his services . He occasionally enlisted the services of the Chadra - Fan informant Haako , whose information and scouting services he used during his career as a Sith operative . Torlin was able to handle himself in difficult combat situations , and he objected after Morrigan Corde aided in dispatching a gang of miscreants aboard the Wheel . He mistrusted Corde , which led him to attack her twice , and he did not care whether she was his ally or not , feeling her death was better than taking the chances of her being a foe . Among Torlin ' s possessions were the " Gladius " - class light freighter " Raider " , a comlink , a datapad , and multiple Command Override Limpet Droids . He spoke and understood Basic , and used a heavy blaster rifle during combat . Behind the scenes . Jor Torlin was created by John Ostrander , the writer of the " " comics , for the series ' " " story arc . He was drawn by Colin Wilson in the arc ' s . Torlin received entries in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " and the " Legacy Era Campaign Guide " . His surname was spelled as both " Tolin " and " Torlin " in " Trust Issues , Part 1 " ; however , " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " confirmed that the latter was the correct spelling .
