Baldarek

"Jedis, they likes to say that the Force bindses all lifes in the galaxy togethers. But after a week on Zeltros, I thinks the Force is nothings compared to the powers of Zeltrons pheremoneses."

- Red-Eye Baldarek



Baldarek was a Chiss bartender worked in Baruk's Bar on Nar Shaddaa at least during the Empire Reborn conflict.

When Kyle Katarn appeared in the bar to seek out Reelo Baruk, the bartender recommended him a Ruby Bliels, Katarn instead asked for Corellian ale (in a clean glass). When Katarn asked where he could locate Reelo Baruk the bartender managed to lure him into a trap by keeping his attention away from a group of thugs who were about to attack Katarn. The bartender was successful in his role in the scheme and dove for cover behind the bar as the assault on Katarn began. The attackers, however, were less successful and all died at the blade of Katarn's lightsaber. Katarn then threatened the bartender, who revealed Baruk's location. Katarn eventually caught up with Baruk and killed him.

He had problems with Basic grammar: he could not make a distinction between singular and plural forms and had a tendency to add the plural -s to all nouns.

Behind the scenes
"Never trust a bartender with bad grammar."

- Kyle Katarn


 * Baldarek appears in Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. A Chiss bartender, who looks identical to this bartender, appears in the Mission to Nar Kreeta in the PC version of Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy as a background figure. It could be inferred that it is the very same bartender as a cameo.
 * His name is never mentioned in the games since he has a very small role. His name is given in Zeltros: Pleasure Planet, which was confirmed by Cory J. Herndon.


 * Baldarek can be killed in Jedi Outcast after one has interrogated him, but his death is most likely non-canon.


 * His in-game model can be used as a character skin for both Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy multiplayer.
