Biography
A male Zabrak, Doctor Parvux worked on the Republic's Death Mark project during the Cold War with the Sith Empire. Based on the Core World of Alderaan, the satellite superweapon was designed to end the planet's civil war quickly and with minimal loss of life.

However, the project was attacked in 3,641 BBY by Lord Nefarid, the Sith apprentice of Darth Angral. Nefarid's forces overwhelmed the security at Mensaav Laboratory, but the Jedi Master Orgus Din arrived and pushed back the attackers. Nefarid was forced to summon the native Killiks as reinforcements, and Din barricaded himself and Parvux&mdash;the only member of the project he could save&mdash;in one of the lab's secure chambers.

When Din's former apprentice arrived, the pair defeated a Killik ambush and discussed the issue of the Death Mark. After informing the Jedi Knight that the Mirialan Aleyna Hark was in fact a spy who had the weapon's targeting device, Parvux suggested shutting down several power generators to disable the Death Mark temporarily. While the Knight did so, Din escorted the doctor to safety at Wardpost Duvaal.
