Trask Ulgo

Trask Ulgo was an ensign with the Old Republic during the Jedi Civil War. He was serving on the Endar Spire when the ship was attacked by a Sith fleet under Malak's command. While the ship was being evacuated, he returned to his bunker to help his roommate escape, though he had no idea that his partner was in fact the former Sith Lord Revan, who had lost his memories and been programmed with a new identity. Trask informed Revan that it was their duty to protect the Jedi Commander Bastila, and that they had to meet her on the bridge at all costs. Together they fought their way to the bridge, as the crew fought wave after wave of invading Sith shock troops. However, when they reached the bridge, a large explosion destroyed the equipment and killed many soldiers on both sides; luckily Bastila was not among them having already retreated to an emergency escape pod.

Trask realized that without Bastila onboard, the Sith would have no reason not to destroy the ship, and that their only option was to follow Bastila by using the emergency escape pods as well. However, before they could make it the duo were confronted by Darth Bandon, brandishing his double-bladed lightsaber menacingly. Trask realized there was no way that both of them could escape the powerful Sith Lord, and making the ultimate sacrifice he confronted him and sealed the door behind him, making sure his death would buy enough time for Revan to escape and complete his mission.

Behind the scenes

 * It is possible that Trask's family were the same Ulgos killed by the assassin Selven. If so, then Trask either joined the military to escape her, recently learned of her and planned to confront her on Taris after the battle, or had no knowledge of her, and his placement on a ship over his homeworld is mere coincidence.


 * Trask Ulgo's uncannily helpful dialogue serves to teach the player how to use game controls in the opening sequence of the game.


 * Trask is maybe the least evolved character in the game for the simple reason that his role is only that of a tutor and is killed at the very beginning.


 * On the party selection screen, his portrait is on the square that later will belong to Bastila.


 * Oddly, Trask's alignment is completely neutral. This may indicate he lived by a soldier-like philosophy, seeing neither good or evil in any action, and valuing order and rules over morality. Or more likely, it was an over sight for a briefly used and underdeveloped character.


 * Removing Trask's clothing from the inventory does not change his sprite's appearance.


 * Although his death is strongly implied in the plot, some fans note his final battle is suspiciously never seen onscreen, possibly allowing future retcons about his survival.


 * He was voiced by veteran voice actor Cam Clarke.
