Samhan Dobo

Samhan Dobo was a male Duros merchant who was living on Citadel Station over Telos IV as of 3,951 BBY. He co-owned the Dobo Brothers' Emporium along with his brother, Dendis; although the two established their shops in the same module, each brother held great resentment for the way the other conducted business. Samhan was known to sell anything no matter where it came from in order to make as much of a profit as possible, whereas Dendis adhered to a extremely strict moral code of business and did not sell anything that could ever possibly be suspicious. While his brother sold only medical supplies and pazaak cards, Samhan offered up a number of weapons, including vibroblades, blasters and grenades, as well as various kinds of armor.

Biography
By the time of the destruction of Peragus II in 3,951 BBY, Samhan had become involved in an illegal smuggling ring aboard Citadel Station. Among other things, the operation funneled illegal weapons and weapon components to the Bumani Exchange Corporation, which was the local front for the Exchange. In addition to this, Samhan also made deliveries of unspecified goods for the head of the local Czerka branch, Jana Lorso. Lieutenant Dol Grenn of the Telos Security Force had long been suspicious of the black market dealings that were occurring on the Station; however, he had no concrete evidence to support it and, thus, to bring Dobo to justice.

When the Jedi Exile presented Grenn with a modified holdout blaster that had been used against her by one of a group of thugs while retrieving a droid for the local Ithorian herd, he realized this was the evidence he needed. Grenn then asked the Exile to help him find the person or persons responsible for the operation. After showing the blaster to Dobo, the Exile persuaded him to reveal that he was in fact the head of the local smuggling ring. After giving this information to Grenn, she agreed to pretend to aid Dobo by bringing him the materials he needed for his next illegal shipment; this allowed the TSF officer to catch Dobo red-handed. After a brief battle in which Dobo lobbed a grenade at the group of arresting TSF officers, he surrendered, was arrested, and placed in a force cage at the TSF headquarters. However, he swore that one day he would break free and have his revenge on the Exile.

Personality and traits
As a businessman, as well as a smuggler, Dobo often displayed a high degree of pragmatism. While his brother, Dendis, was an idealist who insisted on doing business in a strictly legitimate fashion, Samhan bore no scruples at all, dealing with anyone who could bring more credits his way. He was also known to be irritable, argumentative and vindictive; when he was arrested by the TSF, he swore vengeance upon those who had set him up, including the Exile.

Behind the scenes
The Exile can also choose to help Samhan with his shipments, and Samhan will reward the Exile with credits and access to his secret stash. Then she could also accompany him to one of the docking bays on Citadel Station, where she would be confronted by a TSF officer. After failing to convince the officer that she is trying to "expose" Samhan, the Exile is forced to kill her. Helping him will lead to a minor Dark Side shift, however.

Although helping Samhan involves stealing from the Ithorians, the Exile can still help both the Ithorians and Dobo at the same time.

During the Battle of Telos IV, Dobo's force cage, if the player explores the TSF station, is found to be empty; he is not in his shop, either. He may have been killed, released or moved to another cell, or escaped during the commotion.
