TK-7193 was the designation of[2] a human[1] male who served in the Galactic Empire as an elite stormtrooper tasked with protecting Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin from all threats,[2] prior to the Grand Moff's death during the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY.[3] He wore a set of stormtrooper armor with a black-colored pauldron, and wielded a DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle. The trooper had an exceptional strength, which allowed him to subdue enemies with a single strike from the butt of his blaster rifle.[2]
