* {{Jerkass}}: A massive {{hypocrite}}. At times, it seems like he's just using whatever excuse he can come up with to belittle Zayne. At one point, he accuses Zayne of never having the guts to do what needs to be done, which may very well be true, but the example he uses is not killing [[spoiler:Haazen]] when he had the chance. At the time, Zayne had literally never met or even heard of [[spoiler:Haazen]] before, and [[spoiler:Haazen was still masquerading as a loyal servant of the Draay household]]. Zayne had absolutely no reason to suspect him of being a Sith acolyte.

This is also what undoes the Covenant's cover story and forces them to execute their padawans before Zayne could arrive, as Shad Jelavan knew that there was no way that Lucien would ever want to knight Zayne.

* ActionGirl: When first seen, she's fighting her way through the Undercity's rakghouls alone, and keeps that level of skill throughout. Thousands of years later when she awakes during the time of the Empire, she's able to go toe-to-toe with ''Darth Vader''.
* AndIMustScream: She was stuck in Dreypa's torture device for 4000 years.

Vader'' and with the Muur Talisman, actually chase him off. Later, he is disinclined to go toe to toe with her again, and instead tries to use her as a Trojan horse against the Rebellion. Later, in the Legacy era, despite being over 130 years out of practice and struggling with Muur, she has no problem taking on the One Sith or the monstrously powerful Darth Krayt.
* AndIMustScream: She was stuck in Dreypa's torture device for 4000 years. Having Muur whispering in her ear for a century and a half wasn't exactly a great situation, either.



* {{Determinator}}: She spent four thousand years in a torturous suspended animation chamber, then another century and a half alone with only Muur and Rakghouls for company, keeping the former on a leash while keeping his Talisman away from Darth Vader, Luke and Leia (who Muur thought would be more pliable hosts), and Darth Krayt. 'Determined' is underselling it.



* TheDreaded: She's not exactly well known, but she tends to inspire this reaction in those who ''do'' know of her. After his first encounter with her, Vader opted not to go anywhere ''near'' her, instead using an entire ship to test if she was still around, then manipulating the Rebellion into her range to use her as a Trojan Horse style bioweapon. When ''that'' didn't go as planned and she hijacked a Star Destroyer, he didn't even bother trying to follow her.
* DyingAsYourself: When she gives the Talisman to Cade Skywalker, she goes out in peace, whispering that Zayne Carrick did send someone after all - he sent Cade.



* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Thanks to Dreypa's Oubliette preserving her in a form of temporal stasis, she's almost four thousand years old (chronologically) when Vader finds her.
* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler:She ends up voluntarily wearing the Muur Talisman containing Muur's spirit to prevent him from taking someone else.]]

* NoImmortalInertia: When she hands over the Talisman, age catches up with her incredibly quickly, turning her to dust.

* BreakoutCharacter: Much like his series predecessor and namesake, Boba Fett, Cassus is probably one of the most popular and well known characters to come from the comic, to the point where he would get the most references in other related Star Wars media. His armor was one of the earliest collectible sets in Videogame/TheOldRepublic and would go for millions on the market boards.

Added DiffLines:

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: By the time of the Vindication arc, the changes to Alek's appearance and the new name he has taken for himself make it clear that he is the future Darth Malak. And if those weren't enough of a hint, the fact that his master adopts the mask and name of Revan removes any ambiguity from the situation.
* FantasticRacism: He develops a seething hatred of the Mandalorians over the series.
* HometownNickname: The people of his world don't have surnames, instead taking the name of their home village as an equivalent. Thus, Alek Squinquargesimus comes from the village of Squinquargesimus.
* MeaningfulRename: He adopts the alias Malak while helping smuggle Zayne onto Coruscant. He decides to keep the new name until the Mandalorians have been defeated and peace has been restored to the galaxy.
* TraumaticHaircut: Alek originally had a full head of scruffy hair, but he lost it all while being experimented upon by Demagol.
* YoungFutureFamousPeople: This man will eventually become Darth Malak, the Dark Lord of the Sith and BigBad of the first ''Knights of the Old Republic'' game.

* ObstructionistPacifist: In the ''War'' miniseries, Zayne gets drafted and is forced to fight on the frontlines of the Mandalorian Wars. He not only refuses to kill, but he refuses to let anyone ''else'' kill anyone either: he limits himself to disarming enemies by destroying their weapons and goes out of his way to stop people on either side from gunning down defeated/retreating combatants. Naturally, this frustrates the hell out of his commanding officers.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: It may be due to his absent-mindness, but him not thinking about changing his ship air filters eventually caused him to fall ill and to push Jarael to go to Arkania for medical help, thus allowing Adascorp to find and capture him. Him also not telling Jarael the true reason why he ran away from them, and of the Adasca family true nature also made it easy for Adasca to trick Jarael into accepting his help and to get his hands on the two of them.
