Druk Rho Zhark was a powerful Force-Sensitive and Abyssin mercenary. He was on the Republic's Most Wanted list for horrific crimes against the galaxy, including the massacre of an entire colony on the Mid-Rim, slaughtering a transport of Force-Sensitive children, and the complete annihilation of a Republic military outpost on Taris. He also committed numerous crimes against the Empire, including the destruction of an Imperial battalion on Voss, the capture of the Imperial Dreadnaught *Annihilator,* and the massacre of a shipment of Force-Senstive slaves bound for the Korriban Academy. He was also responisble for the death of numerous powerful individuals, inculding the wookiee Jedi Master Frrow'lful, Darth Nurin, General Grayne of the Republic Army, Grand Moff Vakel (a renowned duelist and strategist) and many members of the Imperial Guard sent to apprehend or assassinate him. After being barely defeated on Hoth by Jedi Master Krade Tyven and Republic SpecForce Captain Kii'yan Starsnow due to a betrayal from a captain of the White Maw Pirates, he was sent to Belsavis Prison and kept in suspended animation after surviving four executions. However, after only a month of confinement, he was released during the Imperial attack on Belsavis. He slaughtered a squad of Imperial soldiers before taking their transport and escaping the planet and hunting down the captain who betrayed him. He was later recruited by Usha'kk Nem'ro as one of his chief enforcers during the Conquest of Zakuul until his death at the hands of the Hero of Tython, Barona Tyrell.

## Personality and Traits

Druk was a battle-seeking berserker who lived to test his limits, but at the same relished the thrill of killing his opponent regardless of their strength. He had massive potential in the Force and managed to learn several Force techniques from observing Jedi and Sith combat techniques, but he despised the idea of the Jedi or Sith philosophies. He didn't approach to Force as slave or a companion; it was simply a power to draw on for crushing his opponents and sating his bloodlust. His unrestrained use of the Force often resulted in massive civilian casualties as they were caught in the crossfire, something Druk relished deeply. Above all else, Druk desires a battle that will push him to his absolute limit, and despite her disgust for him, he thanked Lop for giving him the battle he longed for before he died of his wounds.

## Biography

### Escape from Belsavis

After Republic High Command came to the conclusion that Zhark could not be executed by conventional means, they had him quietly shipped to Belsavis in the custody of Zale Barrows. However, 1 month after his arrival and confinement in the Maximum Security Wing, the Imperial Army discovered Belsavis and launched an operation to disable the prison in order to free the Dread Masters. Zhark's cell was damaged, and he awakened from suspension. He butchered the guards and destroyed the Warden Droids before beginning a one-man rampage to the upper levels and the surface, killing Republic, Esh-Ka, and Imperials alike. After killing a squadron of Imperial Special Operations Soldiers who had just landed, Zhark departed Belsavis, intent on taking revenge on Ozezus for trying to kill him.
