Ahlan Matale Ahlan Matale was a Human male living on Dantooine during the Jedi Civil War . He was native to the Core Worlds , but moved to Dantooine to get his family away from the crowded bustle of city life . He soon became one of the most successful plantation owners on Dantooine , and was arguably the most powerful man on Dantooine ; until the arrival of the Sandrals . Ahlan and Nurik Sandral developed a heated rivalry , and grew an immense dislike of each other . Ahlan ' s hatred of the Sandrals caused him to become overly possessive of his son . After his son disappeared , Ahlan immediately suspected Nurik , and the two families came dangerously close to feuding , until the local Jedi Council intervened . Biography . Dissatisfied with the crowded core worlds , Ahlan Matale decided to move his family to the distant rural world of Dantooine . Ahlan used his own finances to buy an estate , and took up farming . Shortly after his move , however , another family moved to Dantooine from the core worlds , the Sandrals . Ahlan did not like Nurik , the leader of the Sandral family , and convinced himself that Nurik had followed him to Dantooine to steal his wealth . Ahlan spread his hatred onto his son , to ensure that the Sandrals would face the full force of Matale hatred . Over time , the Matales and the Sandrals developed a heated rivalry , fighting over land and so forth . The many arguments between Ahlan and Nurik sometimes came to the brink of open warfare between the two families . On one instance , Ahlan detected a battalion of Sandral droids on his estate . Assuming that the Sandrals were most likely attempting to assassinate him or spy out the ways of his estate in preparation of an invasion , Ahlan sent his own battalion of droids to destroy the " invaders " . In truth , Nurik was simply searching for his son Casus . A few weeks later , Ahlan ' s son , Shen , disappeared . Ahlan was certain that Nurik was responsible . However , he was not totally willing to invade the Sandrals just yet , fearing that they might harm Shen in retaliation . So , instead , Ahlan went to the Jedi , who had established a secret enclave on Dantooine . However , Ahlan grew impatient waiting for the Jedi to act , and threatened to attack the Sandral estate if the Jedi did not act . Finally , the Jedi Council of the Dantooine Enclave sent a amnesiac Revan to investigate . Ahlan was frustrated that even the Padawan wasted time he thought would be better used searching the Sandral estate . Instead , Revan insisted on questioning Ahlan about the families ' history with each other . Ahlan decided to attempt to motivate the Jedi Padawan with credits , much to the chagrin of Revan , who politely informed Ahlan that Jedi could not be bought with credits . Eventually , Revan left for the Sandral estate . Eventually , Ahlan grew tired of waiting for Revan to conclude his investigation , and took a pair of droids to the Sandral estate , to take matters into his own hands . Upon arriving at the front gate , Ahlan discovered Revan with Shen , who had indeed been imprisoned by Nurik , and also with Rahasia Sandral , Nurik ' s daughter . Although briefly relieved at the sight of his son , Ahlan was quickly overtaken by rage when he realized that Shen was in fact in love with Rahasia . The unhappy reunion was interrupted when Nurik , upon realizing Shen ' s escape , took a pair of droids to confront Ahlan . Nurik accused Ahlan of kidnapping his son Casus , to which Ahlan profusely denied . Nurik also criticized Rahasia for fraternizing with the " Matale dog " , meaning Shen . Ahlan was outraged at this last remark , and the two men came close to opening fire on each other , were it not for Revan , who pleaded with Ahlan and Nurik , and begged them to allow their children to bypass their feud and join their lives . Ahlan initially refused and ordered Shen to come back to the estate with him . Nurik however suggested that they comply with Revan , and pointed out that they had nearly ruined their children ' s lives with their over - possessiveness . Ahlan was uncertain , but eventually conceded to his son ' s love for Rahasia . He and Nurik then agreed to buy their children their own house . While it is uncertain if Ahlan escaped the Sith invasion of Dantooine , but seeing as how several wealthy settlers were rumored to escape Dantooine , while others were executed , and Ahlan ' s estate was preserved and used as the post - invasion center of government , Khoonda , it is likely that Ahlan survived . But Terena Adare said the Matales were all " removed " from Dantooine , so it is possible he was killed when the Sith invaded . Personality and traits . Ahlan was notoriously impatient and impulsive . Although he was correct about his assumption that Nurik kidnapped Shen , it was nevertheless viewed by many as an unfounded conclusion . Ahlan also looked down on those who were not wealthy , and possessed the belief that his wealth made him superior to everyone else . He also viewed those who were wealthy like him with dislike and suspicion , as he did with the Sandrals . Ahlan was also a little paranoid as a result of his feud with Nurik , and never left his home without a contingent of droid bodyguards . Despite being selfish , possessive and rather brutish , Ahlan cared for his only son Shen , and was deeply concerned for his personal welfare . However , his feud with Nurik Sandral got in the way of his relationship with Shen . Due to his fear and distrust of the Sandrals , Ahlan was no longer concerned for Shen ' s welfare , but " obsessed " . He limited Shen ' s ability to leave the estate . Shen chafed under Ahlan ' s possessiveness , and was driven to rebel against his father , eventually falling in love with the daughter of his father ' s rival . Due to his wealth and self - absorption , Ahlan always wore opulent clothing . He also wore a blaster at his side at all times , just in case his droid bodyguards failed in their duties to protect him . Behind the scenes . He was voiced by Neil Ross . If the player follows the dark side , he / she can convince Nurik that Ahlan killed Casus . In an ensuing fight , Nurik fatally shoots Ahlan . If Revan fails to persuade Ahlan to allow his Shen to live his own life , Shen runs away with Rahasia to the Jedi Enclave , leaving his father behind . Ahlan angrily states he won ' t rest until he has Shen back and leaves . Revan can also convince Shen to return with his father and leave Rahasia heartbroken ( either by telling him his relationship with Rahasia won ' t work out or by manipulating him into hating Rahasia ) .
