Igear Igear was a young Human male native to the Undercity of Taris . He was the Outcast village ' s primary salvager and trader , and was very jealous of Gendar ' s position of leadership . Biography . Whether Igear was a trader before being found guilty of a crime and then sent down as an Outcast or a descendant of one is unclear as there is no information about his history . Igear was good at striking deals with the swoop gangs of the Lower City which made him the primary trader for the Outcast colony . Whenever an outcast found useful salvage they would bring it to Igear and he would trade it with the gangs for food , medicine , or sometimes credits if he was lucky . However , he envied Gendar ' s position and did not agree with Gendar ' s views and ideals . At some point he attempted to hide supplies so that he would give them to the others when they would need them desperately , thereby gaining followerers . His goal in this matter was to this usurp Gendar . However , Gendar caught him and made him share his hoard . Though Gendar never trusted Igear again , he did not banish the shopkeeper because of his ability to make deals . Arrival of Revan . In 3956 BBY , Revan , an amnesiac former Sith Lord , came to the village while searching for Mission Vao as part of a larger quest to rescue Bastila Shan . It was likely Revan did buy a few things from Igear , as the Undercity was a dangerous place . When Rukil sent Revan to find out what happened to Malya , his former apprentice , Revan soon found her dead , and returned to Rukil with her journal . After revealing to Rukil his apprentice ' s fate , Rukil explained to Revan the Tarisian Civil War and the legend of the Promised Land . Revan agreed to Rukil ' s request to search for the missing journals from his father and grandfather , in order to complete the puzzle . Igear overheard the conversation between Rukil and Revan . Unlike many from the Outcast Village , Igear believed there might have been some truth to Rukil ' s stories . It was for this reason he wanted to stop Rukil from discovering its location . Igear felt that , for an Outcast , he lived life pretty well . His position as deal maker and shopkeeper meant the villagers relied on him . He believed his position of power was in turn dependent on the village needing his services . If the Outcasts discovered the Promised Land , his services would no longer be needed and he ' d be " another nobody . " He offered Revan a considerable sum of credits , something Rukil couldn ' t offer , to give the clues to the Land ' s location to " him " instead of Rukil , so that they might be destroyed . Revan found the missing journals , but refused Igear ' s offer and instead gave them to Rukil , who then managed to find out the location of the Promised Land . Igear , like all the other Outcasts , left the Undercity village for the Promised Land . Personality and traits . Igear was eager to get his hands on any food , medicine and credits , a trait common among most outcasts . Unlike the others however , Igear didn ' t believe that the salvagers who brought him salvage should get anything , because he believed that it was " his store , his profits " . He also believed that if he was to survive he had to look out for number one . He was so self - centered he believed that if it wasn ' t for Gendar he would be in control of the village , something Carth Onasi commented that if it wasn ' t for Gendar the village would be a lot worse than it is . This self - centered behaviour made him unafraid to ruin the village ' s hope for salvation just because it compromised his position . Behind the scenes . Alternatively , Revan could have given the journals to Igear who then would have burnt them , leaving the Outcasts in the same situation with no hope . If the journals had been destroyed he would have rewarded Revan with 100 credits . He could have persuaded for more - — 200 credits ( if his skill in persuasion had been high enough ) . In the , Igear intends to sell them to the Black Vulkars . Igear is portrayed with a different face in the Xbox version of the game , he is portrayed as light skinned instead of dark .
