Watcher One Watcher One was codename for a Human male Intelligence Operative of the Sith Empire . Biography . During the Cold War , he was in charge of an operation on Taris to recover the former Galactic Republic scientist Doctor Nasan Godera , who was the creator of many Republic superweapons . In one of Godera ' s labs , Watcher One ' s forces encountered a Jedi Knight who was also looking for the doctor . Watcher One attempted to undermine the Jedi ' s confidence and resolve by revealing his knowledge of the Knight ' s exploits on Tython , but the Jedi remained determined to find Godera . After the Knight defeated an ambush by the agent ' s forces , they helped Godera ' s droid RE - M0 repair the facility ' s computers so that they could track Godera ' s biosignature . By resetting the tracking relays , the Knight was able to track the Imperials to a base south of Lake Brell , in the ruins of an old chemical plant . The Jedi encountered a Rodian named Vulaa in the entrance , whose friend was injured . They told Vulaa to hide and keep his friend safe , while they headed deeper into the facility . In the base , the Jedi found Doctor Godera lying dead at Watcher One ' s feet . However , RE - M0 arrived and revealed Watcher One ' s deception , and " Watcher One " and his assistants wavered and disappeared — leaving an Imperial shadow squad in their place . After they defeated the ambushers , the Jedi was contacted by Watcher One : he had been Vulaa , and his " friend " was the unconscious doctor . Watcher One then made a trade with the Jedi — he would reveal the location of a certain Sith assassin that was about to destroy a Republic colony in exchange for time to interrogate the doctor . The Knight was forced to accept , but continued to pursue Watcher One after defeating the assassin . By the time the Jedi caught up with him , Watcher One had gotten his information from the doctor and transmitted it to his superior , Darth Angral . Angral was furious with him for making a deal with his son ' s killer , and despite Watcher One ' s wish to follow through on his deal to hand over Godera to the Knight , he was ordered to bring the Jedi to Dromund Kaas so Angral could kill them himself . Despite the Knight ' s request for the agent ' s surrender , they engaged in combat . The Jedi defeated Watcher One , but allowed the agent to leave in peace . Knowing that he could not return to the Empire and would be killed by Darth Angral for failing , the Knight suggested that he make a new life for himself in the Republic ; perhaps the agent would find that the Republic was not the enemy he thought they were . Watcher One was surprised at the Jedi ' s generosity , but gratefully accepted the offer and departed . This also allowed the Imperial to fulfill his original deal to the Knight in handing over Godera , who was brought back to Coruscant . Watcher One would send a farewell message to the Jedi , saying that while he still didn ' t understand why he was spared , he had not betrayed the Knight ' s trust . Having created a new name and life for himself as a Republic citizen , his skills in espionage had given him opportunities in the corporate sector and was surprised to find his new life as compelling as his old one . He concluded that the message was the final time he would use " Watcher One , " expressing gratitude for his second chance before disappearing into his new life . Personality and traits . Watcher One was a very honorable and loyal man , who was very devoted to his assignments . He was perfectly willing to do anything to succeed in his mission , including compromising with the enemy and betraying other agents of the Empire . He was particularly aware of the dangers of working under " Sith madness " , as he termed it , and had actively avoided potentially lethal situations of Sith temper tantrums for the past 20 years . Watcher One was also skilled at interrogation and psychological manipulation , attempting to unnerve the Knight ' s resolve with his confident knowledge of the Jedi ' s exploits on Tython . His sense of honor prevented him from letting himself be arrested , so Watcher One attacked the Jedi in order to force the Knight to kill him . Behind the scenes .
