Gorton Colu

Gorton Colu was a Human male who lived on the planet Taris. He was the creator of the Anti-Alien League, an organisation that lobbied for the slaughter of all non-humans living on Taris, and spent time in the Upper City promoting his beliefs. In 3,956 BBY, Colu met with Galactic Republic soldiers Carth Onasi and Revan, attempting to convince them to join his cause.

Biography
Gorton Colu was an elderly male Human who lived on the Outer Rim world of Taris. Sometime prior to 3,956 BBY he formed the Anti-Alien League, an organization dedicated to the eradication of all non-Human sentients on Taris. Colu spent some of his time in the north of the Upper City, publicly voicing his opinions and advertising his league to all who would stop to listen. He made particular mention of species such as Wookiees, Ithorians, Rodians, and Bith, who he described as hideous. However, he was dismissed as a kook by most.

In 3,956 BBY, Colu was approached in the Upper City by Galactic Republic soldiers Revan and Carth Onasi. Colu told the duo about his beliefs, asking them to join the League and spread the word of an impending “day of reckoning” to others.

Personality and traits
Colu was extremely speciescist, believing that all non-Humans were villains that were a plague upon his beautiful homeworld of Taris. He thought that the Sith would support his campaign to exterminate all aliens and the imprison Humans who tolerated their existence. He eagerly awaited a “day of reckoning”, when Taris would be rid of aliens, but feared that continued inaction would lead to Taris becoming irreversibly overrun. Even though most of the general public had disliked non-humans, they considered Colu a kook who was far out of line.

Behind the scenes
Colu’s first appearance was as a non-player character in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game, where the player, Revan, can interact with him. The player can either choose to side with Colu and join the Anti-Alien League, or call Colu crazy. However, the nature of the conversation is such that it does not progress any plot, nor does it change the players alignment. Therefore, it is undetermined whether Revan ever interacted with Colu and, if so, what the form of the conversation was.
