Gurney (Human)

Gurney was a Human male from Taris who lived in the Upper City during the Sith Empire's occupation of that world. He worked as Zelka Forn's assistant in the Upper City medical clinic that he owned; however, he also worked as an informant for the crimelord Davik Kang through Zax the Hutt.

Biography
When Zelka expressed an interest in obtaining a sample of the rakghoul serum to the amnesiac Revan, Gurney was present and overheard his boss conversing with the newcomers. As Revan and Carth Onasi were leaving the clinic, Gurney approached them, informing Revan that Davik was also interested in acquiring a sample of the serum, and that he was willing to pay much more in credits than Zelka would ever be able to; all that Revan would have to do was present the serum to Zax, who worked at the Lower City Bounty Office. However, believing that the serum should be used to benefit the Outcasts and other citizens of the planet, Revan gave the serum to Zelka, who was able to synthesize it in mass quantities. Afterward, Gurney expressed his outrage, however this was more likely due to the fact that he had been denied a finder's fee.

He was likely killed when Darth Malak ordered the orbital bombardment of Taris in a failed attempt to prevent the Jedi Bastila Shan from escaping the planet.

Behind the scenes
Gurney's name is most likely inspired by the English word "gurney", which is a form of stretcher. The fact that Gurney works in a medical facility reinforces this.
