Biography
"You serve with honor, Master Chalk."

- Emperor Roan Fel

Prior to 137 ABY, the male Human Hogrum Chalk was a member of the Imperial Knights, an organization of Force-users dedicated to the preservation of the Empire-in-exile and the defense of its Emperor, Roan Fel. After being maimed in an accident and fitted with cybernetics, Chalk left active service as an Imperial Knight and took on the position of Master Armorer, crafting the armor worn by the Knights. In 137 ABY, Imperial Knight Azlyn Rae was grievously injured by the Sith Emperor Darth Krayt while battling him on Had Abbadon, and was afterwards fitted with life-preserving armor by the mechanic "Bantha" Rawk on Kiffex before returning to the Imperial capital of Bastion. After her arrival at the fortress world, Chalk fitted her with new armor. While the previous armor had covered her entire body, Chalk's design negated the need for a helmet by installing an artificial breathing system in the suit's neck.

Chalk and the Emperor looked on in the Imperial Knights quarters on Bastion while Rae sparred with fellow Knight Ganner Krieg in an attempt to get a feel of how she could fight while wearing her new armor. Fel had recently agreed to meet with representatives of the Jedi Order on Agamar to negotiate an alliance against Darth Krayt's forces, and sought Chalk's counsel regarding the meeting. The two walked away from the duel to discuss the upcoming mission.

Personality and traits
"Rawk's stuff was crude. Some ingenious bits in it, but not Imperial standard.''" "''And not good enough for Hogrum Chalk."

- Chalk and Roan Fel discuss Azlyn Rae's armor

Chalk believed that his accident had been caused by the will of the Force so that he might develop armor for the Imperial Knights. He was very dedicated to his job, referring to the armor he built as his creations. He felt that the armor "Bantha" Rawk had crafted for Azlyn Rae was an unrefined design not befitting an Imperial Knight, regardless of some parts of it that he found impressive. Emperor Roan Fel trusted and respected Chalk's opinion, believing that he understood the Jedi, and sought his counsel in preparation for a meeting with representatives of the Jedi Order.

Powers and abilities
"Takes a former Imperial Knight to know what a Knight needs."

Prior to his accident, Chalk was a member of the Imperial Knights, an organization whose membership was limited to those who displayed potential in the Force. The Imperial Knights were said to be among the most talented and dangerous Force-users in the galaxy. Following his accident, Chalk was very adept at crafting armor for the Imperial Knights, and his skills were respected by Roan Fel.
