Broonmark Broonmark was a male Talz who served the Galactic Republic , and later the Sith Empire during the Cold War . Biography . Early Life . Born into a peaceful clan of Talz on the frozen world Alzoc III , Broonmark had an unquenchable taste for murder and death . While still young , Broonmark ' s father was killed by a wild beast ; Broonmark would resent his father henceforth for failing to kill the beast . Developing a fascination with death , a clan elder denounced him for his violent ways and Broonmark in turn executed the elder . To escape his clan and seek out paths to destruction , Broonmark enlisted in the Galactic Republic military where he was trained and dispatched to the planet Hoth during the Galactic War . A violent leader of the Talz Commandos , Broonmark led campaigns of mass slaughter against the Sith Empire . Joining the Emperor ' s Wrath . His violent ways earned him the disdain of many of his peers and Lieutenant Fetzellen led a mutiny against his leadership . Fleeing his attacks , Broonmark regrouped in a cave to plot the death of his squad mates . In that very cave the Jedi Padawan Sewlor took refuge from the cold as he searched for his Jedi Master Xerender . Knowing that Broonmark was hiding in the cave , Sewlor grew anxious and was unable to fight back when the Talz emerged and snapped his neck . After killing the Padawan , Broonmark confronted and dueled the apprentice of Darth Baras , the future Emperor ' s Wrath , ending the fight in a draw . Leaving the cave , Broonmark later confronted and executed more traitors from his squad , running into the Wrath while doing so . Eventually , the Wrath found the path to Xerender , but it was guarded by none other than Fetzellen himself . Broonmark arrived shortly afterwards and demanded to be allowed to complete his revenge by killing his old second - in - command , promising to pledge his life to the Wrath in return ; the Wrath assented , and after confronting Fetzellen over his betrayal , Broonmark dueled with and finally bludgeoned his mutinous lieutenant to death . From then on , the Wrath permitted Broonmark to accompany him as his personal assassin in his never ending quest for death . While journeying with the Wrath , Broonmark explained about his past life and how he despised the other Talz . The savage alien expressed satisfaction as he and the Wrath massacred their enemies in their wake , and eventually pledged his full loyalty , promising to train the Wrath ' s followers in the art of killing . After the Eternal Empire invaded the galaxy , the Empire ' s Wrath was lost in action . Fearing the worst , Broonmark mourned for his friend , along with the rest of the crew before they all parted ways . Five years later , the smuggler Hylo Visz alerted the Outlander , commander of the clandestine Alliance against the Eternal Empire , to the location of a Wookiee Senator named Gryyzak on Alderaan in order to recruit him for the Alliance . But upon arriving for the meeting , the Outlander found that Broonmark had hunted down the Senator and slaughtered his entire entourage , as Gryyzak had brought " Wookiee customs " to the Talz , encouraging them to hide what Broonmark believed to be his people ' s " true nature " in order to join the Republic . Personality and traits . Despite being born from a peaceful clan of Talz , Broonmark became savage with an insatiable lust for carnage and bloodshed . Violence was also his point of pride , seeing it as a solution to everything . Despite his deep - seated dislike for his fellow Talz , Broonmark did not blame them for their peaceful , and in his opinion passive , ways ; he believed that the old Talz possessed killer strength and instincts , and that the lack of these qualities his fellow Talz exhibited was the doing of the peaceful Republic . Therefore , seeing himself as the last Talz with the strength of his ancestors , Broonmark felt it was his duty to destroy the Republic for what he perceived as the pacifying and enslavement of his kind - a goal that tied in well with the Empire ' s intentions . Broonmark ' s respect for the Sith Warrior grew over time . He was impressed by the Wrath ' s capacity for violence , seeing in the Wrath the strength , violent spirit and destructive capabilities that he believed the Talz had once possessed , but lost . He sought the Sith ' s approval by learning from the warrior ' s example . Broonmark had a strong sense of loyalty and admired the Wrath protecting his fellow companions , whom he accepted as his new clan ; his experience of mutiny at the hand of his unit left the Talz with a strong sensitivity to betrayal . As such , he was outraged at the duplicity of Darth Baras and Malavai Quinn , declaring that he must " cleanse the clan " of them and when offered a place at Baras ' side in return for leaving the Wrath , Broonmark felt grievously insulted , refusing to do so . Interestingly , Broonmark always referred to himself in the plural tense , using " we " , " our " and " us " etc . Likewise , he referred to his own kind as " Talz clan " and the Wrath ' s companions as " Sith clan " . Skills and abilities . Broonmark was an adept melee combatant skilled with the vibrosword , and was very durable . He was also armed a stealth generator , and used it to assassinate unaware or afraid enemies , though he seemingly stopped using stealth when he teamed up with the Emperor ' s Wrath .
