History Characters / StarWarsPirates

* DatingCatwoman: Alak and the pirate hunter Raf Thatchburn fell in love with each other at some point. However, as Coromont points out, while this kind of thing would be [[LampshadeHanging the stuff of holo-dramas]], their career choices ultimately [[ThisIsReality put them at odds with each other]]. [[spoiler:They get back together again when Raf resigns from being pirate hunter and chooses the pirate's life.]]

* LadyLooksLikeADude: He mistakes Sav Malagan (a teenage female Kyuzo) for a young boy when she's in her "Bazrip Ratht" [[PaperThinDisguise disguise]] [[spoiler:and even after he reveals that he knew she was a Jedi all along]].

* BadassNormal: Taborr has no apparent force sensitivity and is armed with just a vibrostaff and a wrist blaster, but is able to hold his own against Jedi - albeit ones his own age. He's often a match in combat for Kai Brightstar - who is himself also no slouch despite his age - even defeating him on occasion.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: [[spoiler:Underneath his helmet, he has pinkish-red skin. His species isn't explicitly stated, but he and his parents may be Zeltrons.]]

* AttentionWhore: Taborr's only goal is to get awe and adulation as the greatest pirate in the galaxy. He specifically targets the Jedi because robbing them brings get him more respect, but while he sells things he nicks at the local WretchedHive he doesn't actually seem to care about money - he's perfectly willling to ditch a payday if something else happens that might make him even more famous. [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that, since he's a wealthy prince, he doesn't actually ''need'' money. He only cares about making people ''know'' how powerful he is, to make up for how overlooked he feels in his regular life.]]

* PokeThePoodle: Downplayed. As far as pirates go, Taborr is far from one of the worst the ''Star Wars'' universe has to offer (and during the High Republic era in which he lives, that honor uncontestably goes to the Nihil). Most of his crimes amount to simple theft, and there's nothing indicating that he's killed anyone.

!!Crew of the ''Meson Martinet''
The infamous crew of the ''Meson Martinet'' is led by the even more infamous Sidon Ithano.

!!!'''Species:''' Delphidian

->'''Portrayed by:''' Calvin Cornwall
->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Literature/TalesFromAGalaxyFarFarAwayVolumeOneAliens The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku]]'' | ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsAdventures Adventures]]'' | ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsResistance Resistance]]'' | ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker''

-->''"I'm Sidon Ithano. I don't die so easily."''

A pirate known as the "Crimson Corsair", who gained a reputation as the best pirate in the Outer Rim Territories nearly 30 years after the Battle of Endor.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: All of his various nicknames are alliterative: '''C'''rimson '''C'''orsair, '''B'''lood '''B'''uccaneer, '''R'''ed '''R'''aider.
* AffablyEvil: For a feared pirate captain who occasionally goes by the nickname "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Blood Buccaneer]]", he seems a quite pleasant and agreeable enough fellow, and was willing to let both Finn and [[spoiler:Kix]] join his crew with minimal questions asked.
* BadassBoast: The quote above, which he states after surviving a series of catastrophes with no means of escape.
* BreakoutCharacter: His EnsembleDarkhorse status for having a cool design and a cool character in a story involving the Clone Wars as artifacts [[spoiler:and welcoming Kix to his crew]] have led to him and his crew getting at least one more story in ''Adventures''. [[spoiler:He even gets a background cameo in ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker''.]]
* TheCameo: Watch [[spoiler:the Resistance celebration at the end of ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' very carefully]], and his distinctive helmet is there. Wookieepedia confirms that it's him and not someone else wearing a similar helmet.
* CoolMask: He wears a red mask of Kaleesh origins.
* CrownOfHorns: His helmet has two protrusions on the side that resemble horns, though given its Kaleesh origins they were likely originally meant to accommodate and exaggerate that race's pointed ears.
* AFatherToHisMen: His men are loyal enough to him that they can understand his orders without him needing to speak. He was also willing to stay behind on a doomed ship when there weren't enough escape pods for his whole crew to escape in.
* HeelFaceTurn: He appears to have joined the Resistance [[spoiler: by the time of ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'', if his presence at the climactic victory celebration on the base at Ajan Kloss is any indicator.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: In ''The Lost Treasure of Count Dooku'', when him and his crew are stuck on an exploding spaceship that doesn't have enough escape pods for everyone, Ithano stays behind [[TheMenFirst while his men escape.]] They all think he's dead, but they're shocked when he walks into their favorite bar, intact and carrying the treasure.
* TheMenFirst: When there aren't enough escape pods for all of them onboard a collapsing ship, Ithano [[HeroicSacrifice remains behind]] so his crew can escape. [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat He survives, though.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Besides being known as the Crimson Corsair, Sidon is also called the Blood Buccaneer and Red Raider. He must really like [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal alliteration]].
* NobleDemon: While a feared pirate and raider, he has a strong sense of honor and decency, and [[AFatherToHisMen cares enough about his crew]] to [[HeroicSacrifice give up his seat on the lifeboats]] for them when there's not enough for all of them escape an exploding spaceship. He's also no friend to the First Order, if his presence at [[spoiler:the Resistance victory celebration in ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' is anything to go by.]]
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: At the end of "The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku", Ithano is on a ship that is eaten by a sandworm and then explodes on an extremely inhospitable planet. Three weeks later he walks back into the bar which his crew frequents with said exploding ship's memory core, which holds the locations of every Separatist base and factory in the galaxy, including a few hidden ones ripe for plunder. All of the crew except for Quiggold are amazed, although he does ask his captain how he survived.
* PetTheDog: In ''The Lost Treasure of Count Dooku'', he gets two big ones: when the crashed treasure ship starts collapsing around him and his crew, he first orders them to carry the unconscious [[spoiler:Kix]], who they've only just met, to safety instead of leaving him to die, and then [[HeroicSacrifice giving up his seat in the escape pods]] so his crew can make it to safety.
* RedBaron: Known alternatively as the Crimson Corsair, the Blood Buccaneer, and the Red Raider. Bonus points for actually being red.

A male pirate who is Ithano's first mate aboard the ''Meson Martinet''.

A female pirate in Ithano's crew.

* ArtificialLimbs: Her right arm is entirely replaced by a cybernetic prosthetic.
* BreakoutCharacter: Her EnsembleDarkhorse status for being representing the return of a popular species in the Sequel Trilogy era, as well as having a cool design helped fuel the return of Ithano, her, and [[spoiler:Kix]] in at least one more story in ''Adventures''.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only woman in Ithano's pirate crew.
