Hunter ( Star Cabal ) Hunter was a female Human operative for the Star Cabal , who posed as a male Agent with the Galactic Republic ' s Strategic Information Service during the Cold War and the Galactic War . Biography . Little is known about Hunter ' s early life , other than she was found by Star Cabal as only a little girl . Using the Black Codex , they erased her name and homeworld from all known records . She underwent training with the Old Man on Tatooine that would allow her to pass as someone completely different through wearing a holographic disguise . Assuming a Human male persona , Hunter infiltrated the Republic Strategic Information Service and joined the team of Ardun Kothe . When Imperial Intelligence agent Cipher Nine offered to defect , Hunter met the agent on Nar Shaddaa and provided coordinates to the warehouse with the rest of Kothe ' s team . At this point , Hunter also leaked to Kothe the Imperial Castellan mind control performed on the Cipher Agent as well as the code word to make him utterly obedient to commands . Hunter accompanied Cipher Nine on a mission to recover " Starbreeze " from Hoth . " He " passed on a SIS dossier on Imperial Ensign Raina Temple to the agent , but when Temple was recruited to Cipher ' s team , Hunter used the agent ' s brainwashing code to force the agent to kill Temple if she became a liability . However , Cipher later broke free of the brainwashing with the aid of Watcher X . Hunter later betrayed both Cipher Nine and Ardun Kothe on Quesh , sending a bombing run to destroy the Shadow Arsenal , preventing either side from getting an advantage in the war . Cipher Nine soon learned of the existence of the Star Cabal and worked to stop them . Hunter visited the mining colony on Isen IV and , pretending to work for the Empire , performed massive sabotage , trying to frame the Empire as attackers . When Nine arrived at the colony , Hunter had left a holorecording , warning the agent against interfering with the Star Cabal ' s plan , or she would expose the agent ' s identity to anyone who had an axe to grind with them . After Nine had uncovered Megasecurity Ward 23 on Belsavis , Hunter sent Pashon Cortess , who held Nine accountable for his house ' s fall from grace , to kill the agent but he failed . Hunter later contacted Nine via holo after the agent unknowingly brought a rigged holorecording that rendered Intelligence ' s genetically enhanced Watchers comatose and started gloating . She then issued another warning for the agent to stop investigating , threatening to destroy everything Nine held dear . Undeterred , Nine promised to stop the conspiracy before that happens and cut the transmission . As Nine went to Voss to uncover the conspiracy of the Shining Man , Hunter sent Voontara Fa ' athra , whom Nine indirectly got exiled from Nal Hutta , to the planet . Fa ' athra kidnapped Nine ' s contact , Bas - Ton , who held information vital to the agent ' s mission to lure Nine to him , but the Cipher bested and killed him . With Nine having obtained the information from the Shining Man ' s starship , the conspiracy retaliates by using their influence to dissolve the Operations branch of Imperial Intelligence . Hunter then sent Nine a holomessage , revealing the truth behind Intelligence ' s dismantlement , and that she could not protect the agent from her colleagues anymore . Nine went to Corellia , where a significant battle between Republic and Empire was raging , eventually infiltrating an airship , where Hunter was throwing a " apocalypse party " , keeping the wealthy of Corellia from doing anything constructive as their planet burned . Hunter was monitoring the agent ' s progress via hologram and revealed the Star Cabal ' s plan . Through use of disinformation , they ' d trick both Empire and Republic into annihilating each other , thereby destroying both Jedi and Sith and allowing the " ordinary " people to rule once more . Nine dismissed the conspiracy ' s vision as a delusion , stating that the galaxy would remain the same , only with new enemies . Hunter then incapacitated Nine with coma gas and had her mercenaries , formerly of Eidolon Security , to interrogate the agent as to the contents of Moff Zamar ' s report on Imperial forces . But Cipher was actually on the airship to feed false information under torture , thereby upsetting the conspiracy ' s plan . Cipher then escaped the airship and fled to Capitol Square . Hunter tipped off Neyla Hawkins , who ' s sister Nine killed , who cornered the agent in the Military History Museum , only for Nine to kill her in turn and blew up the museum to fake their death . With their plan upsetted , the conspiracy convened at the " Star Chamber " to try to adapt . But Cipher , with the aid of the remnants of Intelligence , discovered and infiltrated the station to kill all the conspirators and obtain their secrets . Hunter soon realized her error and as Nine shot the Prince , Hunter ran off to arm the station ' s defenses for fear of outside attack . As the inner circle was slaughtered by the agent , Hunter jammed the agent ' s transmission with Keeper from the meeting room . Later , coming face - to - face at the Black Codex core , Hunter remarked that she never expected that a Imperial Cipher could threaten the entire Star Cabal . In turn , Nine called Hunter a " sick man with sick dreams " , which she refused to believe and engaged Cipher Nine in battle , ultimately being defeated . At the mercy of the agent , Hunter shed her disguise . She claimed that they were very much alike and that they played " the game " right . Angered at how she saw manipulating people ' s lives a game , Nine refused to compare Hunter to the agent and executed her . Behind the scenes . Fate . In her final moments , Hunter tells Cipher Nine she was , depending on Nine ' s gender , jealous or infatuated with them . If Cipher Nine is male , he has the option of kissing her ( neutral dialogue ) . She will commit suicide to avoid capture ( light side dialogue ) or if she is called a freak , which would not grant any light side or dark side points . Nine can also choose to kill her , before or after Hunter reveals her identity ( dark side dialogue ) .
