Rol ( Human ) Rol was a Human male bodyguard who worked for the droid information broker 8t88 during the year 5 ABY . Rol served 8t88 while the latter stayed in the Barons Hed government building on the moon Sulon for official business related to the Galactic Empire , and at one point helped install a new arm onto 8t88 ' s body . However , Rol ' s " help " merely infuriated 8t88 due to Rol being unable to pick the right tool for the job . Rol later retrieved the government house ' s duplicitous majordomo and witnessed 8t88 execute the man for causing a grievance towards the droid — rather than resting 8t88 and his minions in a lavish VIP suite , he instead placed them in a coat room . Rol , along with fellow bodyguards Hontho and Trox , met their deaths at the hands of Kyle Katarn , a man who was after 8t88 ' s head . Biography . An inferior biological . Rol was a Human male bodyguard who worked for the Model 88 - series droid information broker 8t88 , alongside fellow bodyguards and servants Hontho and Trox , during the year 5 ABY . Rol and the others stayed with 8t88 as he worked for the Galactic Empire on the moon Sulon , and worked out of the Sulon Government House . Due to what 8t88 later perceived as part of an anti - droid sentiment , the house ' s majordomo placed 8t88 and his hirelings in a coatroom that was adjoined to a ballroom . Before setting out to work on the Empire ' s contract , 8t88 decided to replace an arm he had lost while on the moon Nar Shaddaa during a shootout with Kyle Katarn , a man 8t88 attempted to double - cross . 8t88 enlisted Rol ' s help in installing a new arm , and at some point asked Rol to hand him a tuning stylus . Rol , unable to tell the difference between a tuning stylus and a testing probe , handed 8t88 a testing probe . 8t88 angrily threw it back at him , took the right instrument , and proceeded to wonder how a biological like Rol could live . The coatroom debacle . Once 8t88 ' s arm was fully installed , the droid sent Rol to find the majordomo , as 8t88 had come to realize that his supposed VIP suite was a coatroom . Rol found the majordomo , only for him to take his time in actually heeding Rol ' s call . When the majordomo did answer , he preceded Rol up the stairs that led to 8t88 ' s quarters . 8t88 and the majordomo discussed the latter ' s duplicity on the nature of their coatroom suite , which led 8t88 to eventually execute the man ; the majordomo ' s death ended up invigorating the rest of the staff . Rol was about to remove the majordomo ' s body from the room when 8t88 decided to instead feed it to his pet hornagaunt Grendel . At some point , Rol , Trox , and Hontho encountered Kyle Katarn , who had followed 8t88 from Nar Shaddaa . All three bodyguards were killed by Katarn as he made his way through the Government House . When Katarn finally reached 8t88 , the droid called for his bodyguards , only for Katarn to reveal that he had killed them . Personality and traits . A Human male , Rol was uneasy around his droid boss , and spoke shakily when being addressed by the droid . Rol was subject to 8t88 ' s abuse , simply because Rol was a biological being . 8t88 also referred to Rol as an idiot for not being able to identify a tuning stylus . However , when 8t88 demanded that Rol fetch the Government House ' s majordomo , Rol shrugged the reasoning for the demand off as one of 8t88 ' s eccentricities . Rol became uneasy when the majordomo first presented himself to 8t88 , and wrinkled his nose at the smell of the majordomo ' s urine as it pooled at the man ' s feet as he died . Behind the scenes . Rol first appeared in the 1998 novella " " , which was written by science - fiction author William C . Dietz . Although Rol is identified as a male in the novella , Rol ' s voice in the is distinctly feminine . However , as the novella explicitly refers to Rol as a male , this article treats Rol as a male individual . In addition , Rol has no dialogue in the novella . Another difference between the audio drama and the novella is how Rol retrieves the majordomo . In the novella , Rol leaves 8t88 ' s quarters to personally find the majordomo , whereas in the audio drama Rol sent for the majordomo , who then arrived without Rol ever leaving the room . Rol ' s voice actor in the audio drama was not credited .
