Triloh1138, also known by his "normal name" Zac Kaplan, has been a Star Wars fan since he was six years old. A self-proclaimed "detailist" known for picking out obscure information and background details, Zac first began his foray into examining the intricacies of the Star Wars universe after cracking open the Star Wars Visual Dictionary at the age of eight. He was amazed by the amount of information presented for items as insignificant as samples of scrap collected by Jawas. At that moment, he began thinking to himself, "Everything has a story." He began, as a eight-year-old child, to intently study any visual Star Wars material he could find, from comic books to video games, as well as the films themselves. Even before he discovered Wookieepedia in 2008, Zac could have told you the functions of the control panels on Darth Vader's chestplate, the model number for the distictive H-shaped Trade Federation Lander, and the name of the  fake bounty that Boba Fett created to lure  his doppelganger to his death.

Zac is known for being down-to-earth and more than a little stubborn. He's typically not satisfied with taking anyone's word for something and is an advocate of firsthand experience. Because of this, sources intended to be used as reference -- such as the Visual Dictionary series, the Star Wars Encyclopedia, and indeed Wookieepedia itself -- are only starting points for him, preferring to get his information from the source cited by the reference material.

Zac's studies of Star Wars lore mainly focus on the things nobody else seems to think about: background items that -- even with the thorough coverage the Expanded Universe offers -- most take for granted. He fluently reads Aurebesh and makes it a point to read every single letter of it visible in Star Wars media, even if that means taking screenshots every five seconds to capture fast-scrolling text in a video game, or pausing a film or cutscene and zooming or enhancing the shot to make the text readable. Of particular note is Zac's edit of the Outlander Club article on Wookieepedia -- pointing out the club's alternate name, "Club Orb" -- based on signs he read while playing Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.
