Xor

"You Jedi act all prim and proper, but inside you must feel the same way I do about the lesser, nonhuman species."

- Xor

Xor was a Twi'lek male Mandalorian slaver who fought in the Battle of Cathar prior to the Mandalorian Wars, participating in the speciecide of the Cathar people. When the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders invaded the planet Taris twenty years later, Xor murdered a Cathar male and eventually found the Cathar's daughter, Juhani, on the auction blocks on Taris. However, Jedi forces liberated Taris before the Twi'lek could purchase her. In 3,956 BBY, during the Jedi Civil War, Xor encountered Juhani&mdash;who was now a Jedi&mdash;as she was assisting the Jedi Padawan Revan during his search for the Star Forge, a Rakatan space station fueling the Sith Empire's war effort against the Galactic Republic. Shortly after this meeting, Xor and two henchmen ambushed Juhani and Revan near the latter's starship Ebon Hawk. The two Jedi defeated Xor and his allies, and the injured Twi'lek unsuccessfully attempted to cause Juhani to murder him before he succumbed to the injuries dealt to him by Revan and Juhani.

Enslaving others
"Not everyone who fought alongside the Mandalorians did it for their stupid concept of 'honor'. Some of us did it just for the pleasure: the pleasure of seeing your world burn. But the treacherous beasts fought back and left me with injuries that meant I could never fight again&hellip; or so they thought!"

- Xor, to Juhani

Xor, a Twi'lek male, was a Mandalorian slaver that lived during the time period after the Great Sith War. When the Mandalorians under the command of Cassus Fett attacked the planet Cathar in 3,973 BBY, Xor participated by fighting and killing many members of the local Cathar species. As he did, the Twi'lek took pleasure in the carnage, due to his hatred of the Cathar people. He was injured during the fighting, and after the Mandalorians had nearly wiped out the Cathar, Xor eventually was prevented from fighting.

Twenty years later, Xor participated when the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders launched an invasion of the planet Taris during the Mandalorian Wars. At some point after this, Xor encountered and murdered a Cathar male in the Lower City, although his wife and daughter were able to evade the Twi'lek. Two years later, Xor saw the daughter, Juhani, and attempted to buy her from the black market. Before he could do so, the Jedi forces under the Jedi Knight Revan liberated Taris, and freeing Juhani from slavery.

Confronting Juhani
In 3,956 BBY, during the Jedi Civil War between the Republic and Darth Malak's Sith Empire, Xor encountered Juhani, who was now a Jedi, as she was aiding Revan in his search for the Star Forge, a Rakatan space station that was fueling the Sith war effort against the Republic. During his conversation with Juhani and Revan, he insulted her by trying to convince Revan to sell her to him. After Revan refused, Xor vowed to capture her when he confronted her later after Juhani threatened to kill the Twi'lek for his actions against her people. Sometime afterwards, Xor and two cronies ambushed and attacked Revan and Juhani near the former's starship Ebon Hawk. However, the Twi'lek was mortally wounded by the Jedi, and his thugs were defeated. As Xor was dying, he tried to goad Juhani into striking him down, but Revan helped keep her from giving into her anger by reciting the first precept of Jedi Code, which denied emotions and encouraged peace. Xor then died, angered that his death was ignoble.

Personality and traits
"So what would it take, Jedi, for you to sell your pet here to me?"

- Xor attempts to purchase Juhani from Revan

Xor had purple skin and eyes and used a blaster rifle during combat. He hated the Cathar species and desired to eradicate or enslave the Cathar, and was among the Mandalorians who attacked the world for the pleasure of destroying it. He viewed Cathar slaves as pets for the amusement of the owners. Although he was injured during the battle on Cathar, he continued to fight with the Mandalorians. Xor killed Juhani's father when he encountered him on Taris, and he was prepared to purchase Juhani on the auction blocks during the Mandalorian occupation on Taris. When he encountered Juhani and Revan during the Jedi Civil War, Xor talked disparagingly to Juhani and taunted her, even going so far as to ask Revan if he wished to sell her to him. When Revan and Juhani defeated him when he attempted to capture her, Xor attempted to cause Juhani to give in to her hatred for him and murder him. Xor also resented the Jedi for their role in hindering his purchasing of slaves during the Mandalorian Wars.

Behind the scenes
Xor was created as a minor villain by BioWare for the 2003 Xbox and PC video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. In the Xbox version of Knights of the Old Republic, the character is depicted as a Human. However in the PC version, he is a Twi'lek. Some of his comments in-game seemed to suggest that he was Human. However, Xor was officially canonized as a Twi'lek in the Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide. Xor appears only if the player character visited a spaceport with Juhani and has learned all that he could about her past through conversation.
