- "And who are you?"
"Ha ha ha! Who am I? I'm Sorc Tormo, baby. I'm the boss of this operation." - ―Cal Kestis and Sorc Tormo
Sorc Tormo was an Umbaran male crime lord who led the Haxion Brood criminal syndicate during the Imperial Era. In 14 BBY, Tormo had the former Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis captured by a bounty hunter and forced to fight in his arena, due to his companion Greez Dritus' large gambling debt to the Brood.
Biography[]
Sorc Tormo was an Umbaran male crime boss who was the leader of the Haxion Brood, having asserted himself as a regional boss after the Galactic Empire imprisoned his predecessor.[2]
In 14 BBY,[3] Tormo had the former Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis kidnapped and jailed by a bounty hunter of the Haxion Brood on Ordo Eris, the Brood's space station stronghold, as a consequence of the pilot Greez Dritus' large gambling debt to the syndicate. Kestis escaped imprisonment, as the crime lord anticipated, and was lead to the Haxion Fight Pit. Tormo proceeded to give Kestis his lightsaber and had him battle various creatures in the arena, before dispatching the bounty hunter who had kidnapped him.[1]
After Kestis defeated the bounty hunter, Dritus and Cere Junda located the Jedi, crashing into the arena and rescuing him aboard the Stinger Mantis. As Kestis escaped Ordo Eris, Tormo threatened to have the Haxion Brood chase him across the galaxy. Bounty hunters of the Brood, sent by the crime boss, continued to apprehend Kestis through the remainder of his journey.[1]
In 9 BBY, Tormo tracked down Kestis and dispatched multiple bounty hunters to eliminate him, though Kestis managed to defeat them all. An associate of Tormo, Caij Vanda, targeted Cal to secure the growing bounty, which escalated with each takedown. Caij revealed she was the one who alerted the Brood to his presence on Koboh and tried to apprehend Kestis to collect the enhanced bounty, intending to settle her debts with it. However, after a confrontation Caij was captured by Boba Fett, who had been tracking Caij for her own bounty.
