During that year , Duncan lost matches to both the combatants Gerlon Two - Fingers and the " Mysterious Stranger , " the latter of whom was the former Sith Lord Darth Revan . The two defeats extended Duncan ' s losing streak to fifty - five consecutive matches . In his duel against Two - Fingers , he dropped his blaster and was shot by Two - Fingers . Many dueling fans viewed Duncan as a very poor duelist , and he was considered by some people , including a veteran duelist named Marl and the ring ' s announcer , to be the worst duelist of all time . The dueling announcer went so far as to say that defeating Duncan was expected , and that it was not a surprise when he was defeated . Biography . The Human male who came to be known as Deadeye Duncan lived and worked on the city - world of Taris during the Jedi Civil War , a conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire . He was a competitor in non - lethal duels fought in a dueling ring that was owned by Ajuur the Hutt ; the arena was located in Taris ' s Upper City Cantina prior to the destruction of Taris . The arena ' s energy suppression field s prevented weapons from inflicting fatal damage , but combatants still occasionally sustained serious injuries . Duncan was viewed as the worst of the combatants by dueling fans , and after Duncan ' s defeats , the arena announcer made light of Duncan ' s losses as no great accomplishment for the victors . Some individuals , including the announcer and a veteran duelist named Marl , thought that Deadeye Duncan was the worst duelist of all time . In 3956 BBY , a Sith battle fleet led by the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Malak attacked and destroyed the Republic warship " Endar Spire " above Taris . Soon afterward , Duncan lost his fifty - fourth consecutive match against a maimed but formerly excellent duelist named Gerlon Two - Fingers . Duncan dropped his blaster as soon as the match began , and while retrieving his weapon , he was shot and subsequently incapacitated by Two - Fingers . By that time , Duncan had been attempting to defeat a duelist named Ice in the ring for years . When the amnesiac former Dark Lord , Revan , crashed on Taris after the destruction of the " Endar Spire " , he approached Ajuur the Hutt for an opportunity to earn money in the dueling ring while he searched for the Jedi commander of the " Endar Spire " , Bastila Shan . Duncan continued his losing streak as the first duelist beaten by Revan under the pseudonym " Mysterious Stranger , " before Revan went on to become the dueling champion . After his defeat by the " Mysterious Stranger , " Duncan was ranked sixth among the duelists in the ring , which was still the lowest berth among the competitors . Personality and traits . While Deadeye Duncan ' s profession was that of a duelist , he had very little success as a competitor . Duncan was nonetheless persistent and continued to pursue victory during his losing streak ; he had been trying to beat a duelist named Ice for years before the Sith attack on the " Endar Spire " . By 3956 BBY , Duncan had earned such a reputation that whenever he was defeated , the duel announcer proclaimed that the loss was of no surprise to anyone . Some Taris dueling fans even considered matches featuring Duncan as not worth watching because of his poor performance . There were also fans who wondered why he did not quit due to his lack of skill . Marl , a twenty - year veteran and the second - placed duelist at the dueling ring at the time of the attack on the Endar Spire , viewed Duncan as the worst duelist ever and claimed that his nickname of " Deadeye " was earned because he fought like he was blind . Gerlon Two - Fingers viewed Duncan as a joke , but he also thought that defeating Duncan was not bad for a rookie duelist . Duncan did not think it was fair for other duelists to have great abilities while he had such meager skills . He viewed the other duelists as lucky rather than skilled or well - trained . He enjoyed gloating over any unlucky duelists whom he happened to defeat . As of 3956 BBY , Duncan ' s hair was graying from its original black . He also had brown eyes and fair skin . Deadeye Duncan accused duelists of gloating if they tried to talk to him after they defeated him , as he did to Revan after their match in 3956 BBY , while Revan was dueling under the name of the " Mysterious Stranger . " Equipment . In some of his duels , Deadeye Duncan used a blaster pistol , which he occasionally dropped . However , Duncan sometimes fought in duels with a sword instead of his blaster . Duncan wore a combat suit during his duels . Behind the scenes . Deadeye Duncan appeared in " " , a 2003 video game produced by BioWare . In the game , Duncan was a non - playable character whom the player could fight in the Taris dueling ring , in which he served as the first and easiest combatant for the player to face . After Duncan is defeated in the dueling ring , the player would receive one hundred credits , or more if Ajuur the Hutt could be persuaded to give a bigger cut than ten percent . This article was written with the assumption that Revan defeated Deadeye Duncan , though the player could choose not to fight in the dueling ring at all . Also , the player might have lost to Duncan , which caused him to gloat about his victory if he was approached by the player - character . The dueling announcer would also speculate about the player being the new all - time worst duelist . Duncan was given a minor entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , which merely described him as a below - average duelist working at Ajuur the Hutt ' s dueling ring . Cut content . Originally , " Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic " was to feature a scene on the planet Manaan that would be triggered if the player defeated all the duelists in the Taris dueling ring , including Bendak Starkiller . During this scene , Duncan would approach the player outside of the hangars on Manaan and comment on the player being a Jedi . He would then tell an exaggerated story about how he escaped the destruction of Taris by overpowering a dozen Sith soldiers to take one of their ships . However , due to the player - character expressing doubt about the story , he would elaborate that the Sith soldiers were killed by falling debris . After telling the player about his escape from Taris , Duncan would relate how he was trying to become a mercenary but had been unable to find work because of his poor reputation as a duelist . Duncan would then ask the player for permission to use the name " Mysterious Stranger " — the player ' s alias in the dueling ring — reasoning that he could benefit from his supposed status as the Taris dueling champion , since no one knew what either he , or the " Mysterious Stranger , " looked like . The player had the choice of either accepting Duncan ' s request or denying it . This scene was cut from the final release , but was still available through the game ' s files .
