PROXY

"I can hear thousands of droids all calling out to each other."

- PROXY

PROXY was a prototype holodroid who served as a companion and long time friend of Galen Marek and traveled with him on the Rogue Shadow. Despite their friendship, PROXY would routinely try to kill Marek during training as this was his prime directive provided by Darth Vader. PROXY was equipped with advanced hologram technology that, when coupled with its built-in servos, would allow it to change appearance and adopt a wide range of disguises. He could also present messages: he would turn holographically into the sender, and the sender would say the message. Also, when Galen wanted information on an individual, PROXY would turn into that person and access databases to confirm his/her identity. He was also capable of holding his own in lightsaber combat against Marek for a short time.

Missions with Starkiller
PROXY was the only known witness to his master being knighted by Darth Vader. Shortly afterwards, he traveled with Galen when he was sent to eliminate Rahm Kota.

Accompanying a Rebel
After many missions, including rounding up the Rebel leaders, PROXY eventually accompanied Galen and Juno Eclipse to the signing of the Corellian Treaty. Darth Vader and Imperial troops ambushed Senators Iblis, Organa, and Mon Mothma. PROXY in a bold move managed to save the lives of Galen and Juno by using his hologram capabilities to disguise himself as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Darth Vader was momentarily fooled, enough for Marek and Eclipse to get away. Vader, being immensely superior to PROXY in lightsaber combat destroyed the droid and succeeded in capturing the Senators.

After "Death"
Some time after Galen's death, he was recovered from the snow and harsh winds on Corellia by Bail Organa and Juno. They were recovering records of the birth of the Alliance and wanted PROXY because he had the records of the origin, Marek. PROXY continued to retell them exactly what had happened to lead Galen down the path of redemption.

Behind the scenes
PROXY was conceived by The Force Unleashed producers as "not C-3PO, not HK-47, but somewhere in between." PROXY was voiced by David W. Collins.

In a G4 exclusive interview with Project Lead Haden Blackman revealed that PROXY is an unlockable playable character.

According to The Art and Making of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed book, along with a character card, it is revealed that PROXY was programmed by Darth Vader with the primary objective to kill Galen. While PROXY is indeed loyal to his master, he does not realize that fulfilling his goal does not exactly mean well for the secret apprentice.
