Baldarek " Red Eye " Baldarek was a Chiss bartender who worked in Baruk ' s Bar on Nar Shaddaa during the Empire Reborn conflict . Biography . Prior to the Clone Wars , Baldarek worked as a bartender in the galaxy . As the Chiss were an unusual sight in the wider galaxy , he picked up the nickname " Red - Eye " , after his distinctive glowing eyes . During this period , Baldarek visited the pleasure world of Zeltros , in the Inner Rim . He partied there for a week , becoming mesmerized by the scent of Zeltron pheromones . Some of his recollections of his time there made it into the tourist guide , " Luxury on the Inner Rim " . Much later , Baldarek was employed by Reelo Baruk , a Rodian crime lord on Nar Shaddaa . He worked in Baruk ' s Bar , a cantina frequented by Baruk ' s thugs . In 12 ABY , Kyle Katarn visited the bar while trying to track down Reelo Baruk . Recommending a ruby bliel to Katarn , the Jedi instead asked for a Corellian ale . The grimy nature of the bar also prompted Katarn to specify a clean glass . When Katarn sought information on Baruk ' s whereabouts from Baldarek , the bartender lured him into a trap by keeping his attention away from a group of thugs who were about to attack Katarn . The bartender succeeded in this role and activated a metal shield to seal the area behind the bar for protection . The attackers , however , were less successful and all died at the blade of Katarn ' s lightsaber . Katarn then threatened the bartender , who revealed Baruk ' s location . Katarn eventually tracked down Baruk and killed him . Later life . With the death of his employer , Baldarek left Nar Shaddaa and sought employment elsewhere . By 14 ABY , he ' d found employment for a Hutt crime lord on the planet Nar Kreeta . The Hutt had kidnapped a group of local Mining Guild elders , and was amusing himself by pitting them against his pet rancor . This drew the attention of the New Jedi Order , who dispatched Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr to deal with the situation . While infiltrating the base , Korr encountered Baldarek in the Hutt ' s cantina . Personality and traits . While working for the underworld , Baldarek often encountered danger , and showed little courage or aptitude for dealing with it . He left fighting to other thugs , and often hid to avoid trouble himself . When directly confronted he cowered in front of Jedi Knights , and quickly broke under pressure . Baldarek had trouble speaking Basic , and often erred in his grammar , which may be explained by the nature of the little known Cheunh language : he could not distinguish between the singular and plural forms of words , and as such , often added the plural " - s " to all his nouns . Behind the scenes . Baldarek first appeared in the Mission to Nar Shaddaa in the game " " ; Baldarek can optionally be killed by the player ( Kyle Katarn ) during the fray which has no effect to the remainder of the game . Later a Chiss bartender , who looks identical to this bartender , appears in the Mission to Nar Kreeta in the PC version of " " as a background figure . This article assumes the two bartenders are the same individual , and that Katarn does not kill Baldarek in " Jedi Outcast " . This is based , in part , on email confirmation from Cory J . Herndon who wrote " " which identified Baldarek by name for the first time . The name " Baldarek " is based on , a character from the British TV series " " . The voice actor for Baldarek in " Jedi Outcast " was Nick Jameson . The role was credited as simply " Bartender " . His in - game model can be used as a character skin for both " Jedi Knight II : Jedi Outcast " and " Jedi Academy " multiplayer . Baldarek was actually added as an in - game NPC character for the mission on Nar Kreeta on the PC version because he doesn ' t give a voice and he also doesn ' t scream when the player starts shooting at him . Baldarek also doesn ' t appear on the Xbox version of Nar Kreeta . There is a hidden NPC in Jedi Academy entitled ' RebornChiss ' , which is basically Baldarek with two red lightsabers and dark force powers . He will attack the player , but is reasonably easy to defeat ; it is unknown if this model was going to have any further use in the game , as the name applies he could have started working with the Cult but this seems to have been cut . It is also notable that there is a ' RebornRodian ' , ' RebornTrandoshan ' and ' RebornWeequay ' , possibly implying that mercenaries would also become working for the cult , possibly under the leadership of Baldarek .
