Demagol

"You are most welcome here, my dear woman. I have an endless supply of theories about Jedi abilities&mdash;yet I keep running out of Jedi."

- Demagol

Doctor Demagol was a Mandalorian Neo-Crusader scientist, who served under the banner of Mandalore the Ultimate during the Mandalorian Wars. After the capture of Flashpoint Station by the Mandalorians, all Jedi prisoners were sent there to be studied by Demagol, in hopes of finding the secret of their powers to negate and/or replicate them, not understanding the complexity of the Force.

Biography
Republic Intelligence did not know his species, age, or even true name; "Demagol" was a contraction of demar agol, meaning "to carve flesh." In later years, Sergeant Kal Skirata stated that the name Demagol could be translated either "sculptor of flesh" or "butcher."



Demagol's prisoners included Alek Squinquargesimus and Jarael, who was mistaken for a Jedi. Demagol was surprised when he looked at Jarael though. He knew that she was a Human/Arkanian hybrid but something else about her shocked him and he immediately wanted to test her next. He never got the opportunity, however. As he was about to take her in, Rohlan Dyre brought another Jedi to him and demanded he be tested next. The Jedi was Zayne Carrick.

After being put in his lab, far from the eyes of the other Mandalorians, Rohlan attacked Demagol and released Zayne. Rohlan locked Demagol inside a storage cabinet as Zayne stole his armor and left the building. After the Mandalorians had escaped (due to their belief that the Republic was attacking), Demagol was taken back to Coruscant by the formerly captured Jedi. However, en route to Coruscant, Demagol fell into a drug induced coma and could not be awakened for trial.

Later generations of Mandalorians introduced the word demagolka (derived from the Doctor's name, and meaning "someone who commits atrocities, a real-life monster, a war criminal") to the Mando'a language. This came because later Mandalorians held Demagol in contempt for his cruel experiments (some even on children), making him a figure of hate and dread for any member of the warrior clan. In 19 BBY, the Mandalorian Mij Gilamar compared the scientist Professor Reye Nenilin to Demagol as a subtle insult, as Nenilin did not know Demagol was.

Behind the scenes

 * Some perceived inconsistency in Rohlan Dyre's behavior has led to speculation Demagol switched armors with him to get on board the Last Resort.    However, this has not been confirmed.
