Biography . Jasso Toryn was a Human male who lived during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . As a child , Toryn was good friends with the Force - sensitive Human Lanius Qel - Bertuk , and , after Qel ' Bertuk was accepted into the Jedi Order , the pair remained closely acquainted . Toryn went on to become a senator in the Galactic Senate — the governing body of the Galactic Republic — which operated from the Senate Building on the planet Coruscant . At some point he fathered a child , Korlana Toryn , on whom he doted , and he gave her a privileged upbringing . By time of the outbreak of the Clone Wars , a conflict between the Republic and the separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems , Toryn had became a long - serving and respected member of the Senate who was well - known as a staunch supporter of the Jedi . However , he gained some influential enemies among the Separatists , and , fearing for his daughter ' s safety , he sent Korlana and his valet droid , E - 3PO , to go into hiding on the moon Nar Shaddaa , far from the influence of both the Republic and the Confederacy . The war continued to develop , and , in about 20 BBY , Toryn heard rumors of Separatist supporters gathering on Coruscant , in the heart of the Republic . Concerned that Korlana might not be safe from the Separatists even on Nar Shaddaa , Toryn wrote to Qel - Bertuk and requested that Korlana be placed under the direct protection of the Jedi on Almas , a world in the Expansion Region on which Qel - Bertuk served as the headmaster of a Jedi academy . Qel - Bertuk agreed to the Senator ' s request , and the Jedi Master dispatched the Heroes of Cularin , a renowned team of freelance agents from the Cularin system , to retrieve Korlana from Nar Shaddaa and transport her to Almas . The agents successfully located Korlana and brought her to the academy , and Toryn asked Qel - Bertuk to thank them on his behalf . The Senator also offered to aid the agents in the future , by using his influence to reduce bureaucratic paperwork for the operatives if they ever needed to have official dealings with the Republic . Personality and traits . As a child , Toryn wanted to be a Jedi , and he later became regarded as a strong supporter of the Order within the Senate . He also cared deeply for his daughter , Korlana , and he spoiled and mollycoddled her , which led her to develop a very naive outlook on life . Following the eruption of the Clone Wars , Toryn became concerned for Korlana ' s safety , so he sent her into hiding on Nar Shaddaa , but he continued to worry about her well - being and was very grateful when the Heroes of Cularin escorted her to the Jedi on Almas .
