Horell was a male Human senior administrator of Czerka Corporation who lived during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire . During the war , in 3643 BBY , he took a vacation to the planet Nal Hutta , the adopted homeworld of Hutt species . On Hutta , he began hunting the native Evocii species for sport , earning himself the name " Black Death " among his prey due to the black hunting gear he wore . He hunted in the swamps close to an Evocii work camp near Jiguuna , an industrial town controlled by a Hutt crime lord named Suudaa Nem ' ro . Whilst hunting , the administrator traveled in a speeder with a number of hunting droids , whom he left to guard his speeder whilst he hunted . Initially , the Black Death only hunted rebellious Evocii , but soon turned to killing any he could find , including those from the work camp . From each Evocii he killed , he took their ears and teeth as trophies . A Twi ' lek salvage dealer called Var ' soonta , who ran a store in the work camp , offered to pay an Imperial - aligned individual visiting the shop to persuade the Black Death to stop killing Evocii , as it was bad for his business . The individual found the hunter ' s speeder and destroyed at least six of his droids , drawing his attention . The Black Death rushed to the speeder to stop the individual from destroying any more of his property . Outraged , he demanded to know what the individual wanted and when they claimed to be there to stop him killing Evocii , he refused to believe them , claiming no one cared enough about the Evocii to do so . He then offered to pay the individual to leave him alone so he could continue to hunt , which the individual accepted . The administrator paid the individual 122 credits as well as a Nal Hutta commendation and some gear , after which the individual left and the hunter returned to hunting . Personality and traits . The Black Death considered the Evocii he hunted to be equivalent to non - sentient species such as Akk dogs , which could also be found in Nal Hutta ' s swamps . Due to this , he had no moral issue with hunting them and did not believe that any other being could possibly have one either . He was greatly angered by the destruction of his property , but chose to pay those responsible to leave him alone rather than attack them . He was reasonably cowardly and , if threatened with physical violence , was quick to surrender . He also held great respect and fear for Nem ' ro the Hutt . The Black Death had pale skin , black hair and green eyes . Equipment . The Black Death owned a number of hunting droids , which he took with him whilst he hunted , to guard a speeder he owned and used for transport in the swamps of Hutta . Whilst hunting , he wore black and yellow hunting gear and carried a Blaster rifle on his back . Behind the scenes . The Black Death first appeared in the video game " " released by BioWare in 2011 .
