Dorian Janarus Dorian Janarus was a Human male who was elected as Supreme Chancellor of the Republic in order to replace Paran Am - Ris . General Elin Garza of the Republic Special Forces Division , Governor Leontyne Saresh of Taris , and the Mantellian Separatist Movement were among his political rivals . Biography . When the Galactic Republic was at war , Janarus had long served as a loyal leader to his people and the Republic as senator of Coruscant . However , the Sith Empire brutally ended the war with a surprise invasion that would later be known as the Sacking of Coruscant , with the Sith Lord Darth Angral killing the Supreme Chancellor Berooken during the commotion . When the Galactic Senate met sometime after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant , Janarus was unanimously elected to take up the office of Supreme Chancellor Paran Am - Ris , who had been serving as Chancellor in the interim . In the years since his inauguration , the unified support of his peers had steadily diminished as many system governments continued to chafe at the costs of rebuilding , and his military advisers grew increasingly frustrated with his refusal to take sterner action to stamp out sedition , but Janarus ' s stance had always been that the Republic ' s core values of freedom , justice , and the right to self - governance were much more important to protect when standing in the face of the brutally tyrannical Sith Empire . During his tenure , Janarus established the Republic Privateer Service Corps . During this period , Janarus also looked to the Jedi Council for help , such as when a series of vital and powerful worlds threatened to permanently sever all ties and relationships with the Republic known as the Rift Alliance emerged , Janarus called upon the Council to seek a likely candidate who was a skilled diplomat and would make an excellent representative and ambassador for convincing the Rift Alliance to stay with the Republic . The first name to be mentioned was that of a powerful and notable Jedi Consular , who had recently became the third Barsen ' thor in galactic history . The Barsen ' thor successfully convinced the Rift Alliance to join the Republic , but only after coming to their aid against from the Empire , particularly the Children of the Emperor , mysterious assassins and shadow hands of the Sith Emperor himself that were infused with the Emperor ' s thoughts and strength . After Janarus met with Jedi Master Jun Seros , he publicly condemned the actions of the bounty hunter for allegedly causing the deaths of a Jedi and Republic delegation on Nar Shaddaa , among a kilometer - long list of other charges falsified by Seros . A large bounty was placed on the Hunter ' s head , forcing the Hunter to go underground and the Empire to sever its ties with them . The Hunter was summoned by Darth Tormen , who offered revenge against both Janarus and Seros . But as the two were on Coruscant , far beyond the Hunter ' s reach , Tormen devised a way to draw them out . By having the Hunter ensure Corellia ' s secession from the Republic into the Empire , Janarus would be forced to ratify the treaty and withdraw Republic forces . Seros managed to convince him that he could rally Corellia ' s Green Jedi to liberate the planet from Imperial rule . The Hunter killed Seros and took his effects , providing access to Janarus ' flagship , the " Founder " . Confronted by the very bounty hunter he wronged , Janarus stated that he had already discovered the extent of Seros ' actions and the significant resources the slain Jedi had expended to capture Kellian Jarro ' s murderer . He didn ' t condone the Hunter ' s actions , but understood that they were only doing their job . He explained that he had already disclosed Jun ' s actions to the public , effectively clearing the Hunter ' s name of the false crimes . The political fallout would be tremendous and regardless of what happened between them , Janarus would be removed from office . He even offered to grant immunity for the Hunter ' s true crimes in exchange for killing Tormen , whom he accused of being a mass murderer . The Hunter refused his offer and killed the Chancellor . After Janarus ' s death , an emergency session of the Senate was convened , and Janarus ' s political rival Governor Leontyne Saresh of Taris was elected as Chancellor . Personality and traits . Supreme Chancellor Janarus was a dedicated servant of the Republic who stood up to uphold the Republic ' s ideals in a time of political upheaval . He demonstrated a great capacity for leadership after the Sacking of Coruscant by uniting the people and restoring stability . Nevertheless , he had a number of political rivals . Behind the scenes . Janarus is identified in an entry on " The Old Republic " website ' s Holonet databank which features Aurebesh phrases such as " Key to Corellia , " and " Dangerous Friends . " He is voiced by Robert Clotworthy , who also voiced Senator Evran . Janarus is the main focus of Chapter III of the Bounty Hunter storyline . For light side points , the Bounty Hunter has the option of sparing his life and forcing him to " face the music " . Following the light side path , the Hunter can agree to kill Darth Tormen in exchange for immunity . After the task is done , Janarus upholds his end of the bargain and states that even if his successor questions the justification , overturning the Hunter ' s exoneration will be more difficult . He then announces that he ' s retiring from politics , considering that arranging assassinations have caused him to fall far from his principles . The Hunter can optionally encourage Janarus to maintain his honor , wherever he goes . If spared , Janarus later pulls favors with his old staff and the SIS to send a message to the Hunter , explaining the election of his successor , Leontyne Saresh . Though he wouldn ' t want the Hunter to get mixed up in the Second Great Galactic War , he requests that the Hunter stop the madness if they choose to get involved . Alternatively , the Hunter has the option of freezing Janarus and bringing him to Darth Tormen ( a neutral path ) .
