History Characters / StarWarsTheOldRepublicImperialClassSpecificCharacters

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Along with Hylo, he helped to break the blockade on Coruscant.]]

* HumblePie

* PragmaticVillainy: While Gault is one of the more amoral party members and approves of ruthlessness and doing anything for a quick buck, he doesn't like it when you act like a violent thug who goes around pissing powerful people off. He also stays loyal to you because he knows he's safer with you around and he's too afraid of you to betray you.

* BloodKnight

* FatBastard

* {{Jerkass}}

* BadBoss: Chokes out his own men just for failing to prevent a Republic ambush. He also bombed houses, businesses, and hospitals in a world he conquered. Friend and foe alike are not safe with him. In your case, he treats you simply as a hired asset, but a valued and useful one.

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:For Lightside players who accept the Chancellor's offer. The Chancellor reasons with the Hunter that Tormen is a monster, and if he wins, he will gain more power in the Empire, and he has to be stopped. The Hunter can agree with the Chancellor and attack Tormen instead.]]

* BenevolenBoss: At least by Imperial standards, while largely professional and detached in his dealings with the Agent, he's mostly fair and reasonable and it's implied that he does show some care for their basic well-being, such as his concerns with a Light-sided Agent and their dealings with Jadus. [[spoiler:When confronted with the fact that he authorized their brainwashing, he's fairly honest about what he did and doesn't expect forgiveness.]]

* AmericanAccents: She speaks with a thick Southern accent. Her daughter in Shadow of Revan has it as well.

* HeroKiller: Considering that Bounty Hunters are the premier Hero Killers of the Star Wars setting, this is a given. As noted, the Hunter kills more named force-users in their story than any other non-force sensitive class.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: At the end of Shadow of Revan, [[spoiler:Darth Marr grants the Hunter full Imperial authority to do whatever they want as long as they're working for the Dark Council.]]

** DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that he just straight-up blackmailed the Dark Council into letting him retire]].

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He takes the threats that come up seriously, and has Intelligence follow up on all the intel the Agent brings in. He also provides the Agent with all the support personnel and equipment s/he needs, including the Agent's CoolShip. Compared to the Sith he answers to, he's practically a BenevolentBoss. [[spoiler:He does authorize your brainwashing, but if you call him out on this, he points out that the only alternative that the Dark Council would have accepted was your execution.]] He also shows some basic concern for the Agent's well-being, even asking Jadus to leave when they are around (not that Jadus bothers to listen to him).[[spoiler: After Imperial Intelligence is disbanded by the Sith in Chapter 3 he calls in every favor he has to secretly rebuild it just to give The Agent a shot at taking down The Star Cabal and save the Empire that just discarded him.]] In the ending, [[spoiler:he offers to use the Black Codex to allow the Agent to protect the Empire in their own way.]]

* VillainTakesAnInterest: After your mission on Hutta, the Agent ends up earning Jadus' favor.

* AnAdventurerIsYou
** [[FragileSpeedster Operative]]
*** Medicine: CombatMedic
*** Concealment: Backstab-heavy melee DPS
*** Lethality: [=DoT=]-heavy melee DPS
** [[GlassCannon Sniper]]
*** Marksmanship: Nuker/Burst-heavy ranged DPS
*** Engineering: [=AoE=]-heavy ranged DPS
*** Virulence: [=DoT=]-heavy ranged DPS

* VillainHasAPoint: The Light-sided Bounty Hunter is still a criminal mercenary who killed a heroic Jedi. He technically has every right to kill them, but his problem is being a zealot that takes it personally.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: At the end of Shadow of Revan, [[spoiler:Darth Marr grants the Hunter full Imperial authority to do whatever they want as long as they're working for the Dark Councilfe.]]

* BountyHunter: Seems to regard herself as such by Tatooine.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler: Implied to be a clone of Coral.]]

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: She's a slicer and there's no mention of having any skill at medicine. Her powerset is pretty much the same as any other healer companion.

* TheSmartGuy: Girl in this case.

* DirtyCoward: Of all the companions, Gault is the most adverse to getting into fights and prefers either dirty tricks or talking your way out of a sticky situation. This also works for your benefit as he's too much of a coward to betray you.
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:Despite the fact that from her perspective, he just abandoned her, Hylo Vizz forgives him relatively easily. It remains to be seen if this will lead to them becoming lovers again, though. Her forgiveness however, required proving that he cares about her more than himself or money...through a very large credit transfer.]]

* HornedHumanoid: Comes with being a Devaronian.

* LovableRogue: Clearly thinks of himself as such. [[spoiler: After character development, he really becomes one.]]

A male Houk that worked under Nem'ro the Hutt, Skadge is a companion character for the Bounty Hunter and acquired on Belsavis. He was betrayed by his Hutt boss at one point in his life. He has the symbol of the Black Sun on his armor, having moved on to becoming a street boss for them after leaving Nem'ro's service. Mechanically, he's the Bounty Hunter's melee tank companion. Voiced by Creator/NeilKaplan.

* TheBrute: His species is reputed for raw strength and short tempers. In fact, their large size and physical prowess are only rivaled by species like Wookiees (y'know, those guys who can infamosly remove arms from their sockets). And Skadge? He's noticeably bigger than other Houks in-game.

* InformedAttribute: Despite his backstory stating that he's garnered a reputation of being a talented warrior, as noted above he always relies on minions to do his dirty work and paying off potential rivals.

* SmugSnake: For all his arrogance and pride, he fails to back it up and just comes off as a scheming coward who does everything to avoid fighting you, mostly by getting others to do it. It's also shown that [[spoiler:when he actually goes after a Jedi, he's pretty susceptible to Mind Tricks]], which the Bounty Hunter notes that he quite-simply just isn't good enough to legitimately win.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Most of Intelligence encourages the Agent to do horrible things in the name of the greater good, the crowner being [[spoiler:allowing Jadus to activate the Devastators, causing thousands of deaths...so they can capture him and prevent millions of deaths in the future]].

** Also, his whole beef with the Inquisitor is that they were the apprentices of a disgraced master and thus must be killed. Teneb Kel was also apprenticed to a disgraced master and he fought tooth and nail to avoid being condemned with him.
*** However it it possible to infer that this is Sith Tradition. In this case he is walking his talk because the main part of being one of the Empire force users is having strength. It's a mix of commending the beliefs of his order that were created to keep Sith from backstabbing others to the point of self-destruction, in addition that weak Sith that do not stand their ground and survive would be purged, so they can't get backstab and cause problems to the Empire later, while those powerful Sith (such as Thanaton himself) that not only fought and won, would be worthy enough that their transgressions could be more or less ignored. The problem he had with Kallig was mostly he could not believe s/he was strong, specially if they don't show any respect towards the Sith Code (which, as said, it is about strength so only the weak or foolish would ignore it).

** WellDoneSonGuy: Torian dedicates himself to Mandalorian tradition more than anyone really should, a fact the codex comments on, apparently as overcompensation for his parentage. He also worries whether his romance with a female Hunter [[StarCrossedLovers is causing trouble for them in Mandalore's eyes]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Skadge.

* TheRival: Averted. Despite the Inquisitor having two apprentices, there doesn't seem to any rivalry for his approval or philosophical disputes between them. They appear to simply ignore each other... although while idle on the Inquisitor's ship, Xalek seems to have taken up a position next to the conference room, allowing him to keep an eye on both [[TheDragon Khem Val]] and the engine room where Ashara dwells.

** It's also not at all clear [[spoiler:what the Inquisitor signed up for with the Rakata machine that rebuilt their body. They might be biologically immortal and in any case knows where to find Mother again...]]

* CuttingOffTheBranches: Unlike all the other classes, the Inquisitor is the only one to have a canonical alignment assigned, revealed via their [[spoiler:Darth name]]--[[spoiler:Darth Nox]], meaning they were [[spoiler:Dark sided]]. Their gender and race are still left unclear, though.
** Not so much race. The novel ''Annihilation'' implies they're human, as [[spoiler:Darth Karrid faces opposition from Ravage and Mortis for being an alien on the Dark Council, when the Inquisitor--who joins before her--gets no such complaints.]]

* YouDontLookLikeYou: He looks very different compared to his appearance in ''The Threat of Peace'' webcomic. To be fair, it has been quite a few years.

* InsufferableGenius: Subverted. He talks about his qualifications a lot, but it's always in the most polite, matter-of-fact way you can imagine.

** One could infer part of the reason is because Vette is at least somewhat ''[[ActuallyPrettyFunny amusing]]'' when she's being rude to people. Another reason might be that the Sith Warrior can demonstrate quite a sarcastic personality as well, making them more likely to appreciate her sense of humour. The player can demonstrate this through some dialogue options, where the Warrior responds to Vette's comments favourably, much to Quinn's exasperation.

* ManipulativeBastard: There are opportunities to be this, especially when it comes to Jaesa.
** Note that many of the light side choices are this.

* DarkIsNotEvil: You can play a Light Side Sith Warrior. Their recruitment path for Jaesa lampshades this.

* AxCrazy: He really likes killing things. And not always for arguably valid reasons either.

** GoodIsNotNice: Arguably, when played extremely light side.

* AntiVillain: It can be argued that a fully Light Side Agent is too nice to qualify for being a WellIntentionedExtremist.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:You can choose to pull one of these near the end of your story, by taking a job for the Republic and killing Darth Tormen, a man who is arguably far more deserving of that fate than either Jun Seros or Janarus. However, you can also make it clear to Janarus that you only took his offer because he put up a better deal and that he's no different from any other client in their eyes and the later storylines still treat you as working for the Empire.]]

** [[spoiler:His most glaring example of this is Nem'ro the Hutt. He doesn't tell the Hunter about it -- he doesn't give a name -- but it was him who did the deed. Originally their would-be sponsor for the Great Hunt, Nem'ro tricked the Hunter into fighting his entire beast pen [[ItAmusedMe for his own entertainment]] and sent them on a wild goose chase all over Hutta to get his sponsorship, utterly unapologetically. Skadge's stake in his death is that Nem'ro tried to have him assassinated [[EvilIsPetty for costing the Cartel money]] during his employment with them; he only survived because Skadge didn't know who gave the order. Arguably, if anyone deserves Skadge's gory methods, it's Nem'ro.]]

** FigureItOutYourself: One could argue that the reason she doesn't tell you enough is because it's ''supposed'' to be a challenge.

A cybernetic pureblood Sith Lord, Tormen agrees to host the Bounty Hunter after the Chancellor and the Jedi frame him/her for a kilometer-long list of crimes. Darth Tormen, like Darth Malgus, is a BloodKnight-style Sith similar to Darth Vader in the movies; his relationship with the Hunter is also similar to Boba Fett's relationship with Darth Vader. Darth Tormen is a Sith with a single passion: war. Unlike many of his fellows, he has no interest or patience for intrigue, politics, ideology or self-indulgence; but that isn't to say he is not a thinking man. Tormen would simply rather have all the pieces laid out before him. Some have mistaken Darth Tormen's dislike of subterfuge for a sense of honor or respect for his enemies. Those who have crossed him know the reality: he takes his only satisfaction from engaging his enemies directly and ruthlessly crushing them, no matter how outmatched he may seem.
