Graal ( Warden ) Graal was a male Human who served as the Assistant Warden of the Republic prison complex on the planet Belsavis during the Galactic War . After the death of Warden Playt , Graal became Warden around 3641 BBY , but he was killed not long afterwards when he led a Republic Military expedition into the Tomb to stop the escape of the Dread Masters . Biography . In 3641 BBY , Graal was with Warden Playt at the time of the Empire ' s attack on Belsavis , causing a mass prison break . When they summoned a specialized Republic strike team to help them deal with the Condemned , the descendants of Belsavis ' criminal and dissident population who were refused parole , the base was attacked by the Condemned . Though they were able to fend off the attack , Playt was among the casualties , elevating Graal to his position by de facto command . Seeking to restore order , Graal dispatched the strike team to protect Kelsa Gerro as they fought to retake the power generator . Just after restoring power , they learned that the Condemned had acquired magnatar rifle s , forcing Graal to assign the strike team to recover them and use cryo grenades on any prisoners . When the strike team returned to the base , Graal showed them a message from the Condemned leader , Nyranos , making a speech to his followers . Afterwards , he sent them to the Condemned ' s hideout at the edge of Minimum Security Section to find out their plans . Later on , the strike team relays that the Condemned planned on using a neural disruptor against the base to immobilize everyone inside . Though Kelsa was able to remodulate the shields to counteract this effect , it didn ' t stopped the Condemned from storming the base a second time . Many of Graal ' s people , including Kelsa , went down fighting , leaving him as the sole survivor by the time the strike team returned . Driven by grief over Kelsa ' s death , Graal demanded Nyranos ' death . Eventually , when the strike team confronts the Kaleesh , the latter attempts to negotiate , only for his men and his Imperial allies to turn on him . When the dust settled , Nyranos ordered his remaining followers to stand down , just before Graal came running into the control room , still driven by revenge . However , the strike team managed to reason with Graal to let go of his revenge and he agreed to grant the Condemned a piece of land on Belsavis where they could live in peace on the condition that they help restore order . With the Condemned situation resolved , Graal sends the strike team to the High Security Section to assist Colonel Hauler with the rioters . During the chaos , prisoners fleeing High Security made it to Minimum Security and informed Graal of Hauler and Senator Tudos ' Project Noble Focus , in which alien prisoners are pitted against each other in endless war games to research their strengths and limitations . After the strike team deals with the Rattataki leader , Sulkhaz , Graal confronts the Colonel and Senator via holo , accusing them to having escalated the situation with their project and violate numerous ethics laws . Tudos attempted to defend his actions and insisted that they hide the truth from the public , insisting that many Republic worlds would be up in arms if the truth came out . However , the strike team would have none of it and Graal supported their decision to go public with the truth about Project Noble Focus . He then sent the strike team to assist General Skylast in Maximum Security Section . Once the strike team dealt with the Esh - kha leader Gore Claw and sealed the World Razer , Graal made his way to Maximum Security to personally thank the Republic ' s heroes . Despite relief from the Republic , Graal ' s troubles were far from over . The Imperials brought in their own specialized strike team to exacerbate the violence , with the main goal of freeing the Dread Masters . As a distraction , they captured and executed Ellis Ruger before Graal ' s own eyes via holo . Eventually , Graal took a team to pursue the Imperials into the Tomb , where the Esh - kha had taken the Dread Masters , but was too late . The Imperials had already freed the Dread Masters , who were quick to take their revenge on Graal . Induced into a state of fear , Graal started indiscriminately fired on his own squad before they were all executed .
