Pirates
The galaxy is full of gangs that prey on galactic shipping. These pirate groups range from somewhat noble to extraordinarily ruthless and brutal in their tactics, with some pirates enslaving the crews of vessels they prey upon. Pirate Gangs on Their Own Page
Maz Kanata's Pirate Crew (High Republic era)
General
- The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Much like Maz herself, each individual members' accolades don't really amount to piracy. When they team up, all they do is pick a fight with a much worse pirate gang made up of Dark Side cultists.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Aside from Maz, her gang includes two handicapped former child assassins, a bard with his parole officer riding in his armor, a brutish crustacean with an inferiority complex, a man with many backgrounds who would become a diner owner centuries later, a blood-sucking alien mechanic, and a rebellious Jedi Padawan. Later members would include the bard's parole officer and a pirate hunter who was in an on-and-off relationship with one of the handicapped assassins.

Alak
Alak
Species: Human (cyborg)
Appearances: The High Republic Adventures (2022)
A pirate active during the High Republic era who was part of Maz's gang and wanted in about 20 systems.
- Achievements in Ignorance: According to Sav, he once single-handedly took over an entire battle station. By mistake.
- Dating Catwoman: 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 the stuff of holo-dramas, their career choices ultimately put them at odds with each other. They get back together again when Raf resigns from being pirate hunter and chooses the pirate's life.
- Defector from Decadence: He was originally part a cult of child assassins called the Scarlett Skulls, with his parents being one of the cult's five ruling families. He left the cult before his initiation ritual when he realized a young girl (Quiet Shan) was going to go through the same hardships he's been through. Alak took down the cult the day Shand was to be initiated.
- Enemy Mine: When he and Maz's crew learn about the Dank Graks' helping to incite the Battle of Jedha, he tips off Raf in spite of him being a pirate hunter, if only because things have gotten that bad on Jedha.
- Handicapped Badass: He's missing at least his legs, which have been replaced with cybernetic spider legs. Being raised in a cult of assassins, he's still capable of ripping combat droids apart with his bare hands.
- Literal Disarming: When facing off against a pirate droid aboard the Dank Graks' ship, the droid demands that Alak "unhand [him]" while grappling only for Alak to rip his arms off.
- Manly Gay: He's the only male human on Maz's team, and he's a perpetually shirtless mountain of muscle that can rip apart a droid with his bare hands, and he was also in love with a male, but slightly more effeminate pirate hunter.
- Scary Black Man: Subverted. He's a muscular, shirtless, tattoo-covered dark-skinned man with cybernetic spider legs that was a former child assassin, is a wanted criminal in 20 systems, took over an entire battle station by himself, and can rip apart droids with his bare hands. However, he's also got a soft spot for children (which is what led him to taking Shan as his prodigy) and he asks for Maz's crew for emotional support when he tries to talk with his pirate hunter ex-boyfriend, Raf Thatchburn.
- Spider People: His legs at least have been replaced with a pair of robotic spider legs, making him look like a cyborg spider centaur.
- Tattooed Crook: He has a lot of circular tattoos all over his body.
- Tyke Bomb: He was originally raised in a cult of child assassins called the Scarlett Skulls.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: He's never been seen wearing a shirt, only wearing a pair of bandoliers.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: While most of his non-human colleagues lived into the Starlight Beacon era, it's unknown what he was up to between Phase II and III. However, as there is a 150 year gap between the phases (and humans like him don't usually live that long), he's long dead at that point.
Quiet Shan
Quiet Shan
Species: Human (cyborg)
Appearances: The High Republic Adventures (2022)
Alak's usually silent prodigy, who was also recruited to be part of Maz's gang.
- Beware the Quiet Ones: According to Sav, anyone who's heard her speak died shortly after. However, it's revealed that this is an exaggeration, as she doesn't kill Raf Thatchburn after she tells him she saved him at Alak's request, but she does say something to a Trandoshan pirate threatening Raf before she kills him.
- Morality Pet: She is revealed to be this to Alak, as him learning she was about to go through the same hardships in the Scarlett Skulls that he did is what convinced him to turn on them and later rescue her.
- Suddenly Speaking: After saving Raf from some vengeful pirates, she tells Raf why she saved his life.Shan: ...You......make [Alak]......smile...inside...
- Tongue Trauma: As part of the Scarlet Skulls initiation ritual, she had her tongue cut out before Alak rescued her, which is why she doesn't talk. However, the fact that she vocally tells Raf Thatchburn why she saved his life suggests that she might have had her tongue replaced, although its apparent she struggles to speak.
- Two-Faced: Her cybernetics aren't as extreme as Alak's, only comprising half her face.
- Tyke Bomb: Like Alak, she was also raised to be an assassin since she was a child.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: While most of her non-human colleagues lived into the Starlight Beacon era, it's unknown what she was up to between Phase II and III. However, as there is a 150 year gap between the phases (and humans like her don't usually live that long), she's long dead at that point.
Coromont Vizzle
Coromont Vizzle
Appearances: The High Republic Adventures (2022) | Escape From Valo
A pirate with a reputation of having been arrested countless times and has songs about having the law on his back.
- Big Fun: He's really big fellow that likes to sing songs about his pirate career in his free time.
- Frog Men: It's unknown what species he is, but he appears to be a giant frog.
- Long-Lived: He's still alive at the time of the Nihil crisis, being over 150 years old.
- Not Hyperbole: The songs he's written about having the law on his back? He means it quite literally, as his parole officer, Rado, is riding inside the back of his armor to rat on him if he does anything illegal...which he does all the time. The only reason Rado doesn't go through with it is that he fears he might be implicated by association.
- Refuge in Audacity: He continues to fraternize with other pirates and commit piracy despite literally having his parole officer on his back ready to report anything he does...except said officer never does.
- Wandering Minstrel: In addition to being a pirate, he also sings songs about his piracy.
Rado
Former Officer Rado
Appearances: The High Republic Adventures (2022) | Escape From Valo
A former law officer who was once assigned as Coromont Vizzle's parole officer. However, by the time of the Starlight Beacon era, he's officially part of Maz's crew.
- Guy in Back: Quite literally so. As part of Coromont's parole, he's literally riding in the back of his armor to keep tabs on him. In other words, Coromont's songs about the law always being on his back weren't hyperbole.
- Hidden Depths: Despite being a talkative but incompetent cop, he seems to be a skilled therapist, as shown when he helps Therm Scissorpunch overcome his own insecurities about himself.
- Lawman Gone Bad: He used to be Coromont's parole officer, but now he's a pirate himself.
- Motor Mouth: Whenever Coromont or anyone else in Maz's crew talks about performing any illegal activity, he goes on long spiels about what he's going to report. However, the pirates not only tune him out, he never seems follow through with it.
- Police Are Useless: While he was Coromont's parole officer, he never actually followed through this threats to report him. Eventually, he seemed to have just called quits and ingratiated himself into Maz's gang.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: He has a rather tenuous relationship with Abadoo. Abadoo has a habit sucking out his blood, and Rado messes with Abadoo's repair jobs out of spite.
Abadoo
Abadoo
Species: Hoover
Apperances: The High Republic Adventures (2022) | Escape From Valo
A Hoover mechanic who operates in the Venom Scabbard's ventilation ducts.
- Airvent Passageway: Because he's small enough to fit in them, he's usually operating in the Venom Scabbard's ducts. When the Dank Graks hijack the ship, this allows him to stay hidden on the ship and report to Maz.
- Intelligible Unintelligible: He only speaks Hoover (which is untranslated for the audience), but the rest of Maz's crew understands him just fine.
- Starfish Alien: He looks like a miniature pet elephant with a blood-sucking trunk, but he's actually sapient.
- Vampiric Draining: Like many Hoovers, Abadoo likes stealing other people's blood for nourishment. After the latter joins the gang, he frequently steals from Rado.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: He has a rather tenuous relationship with Rado. As a result of Abadoo stealing his blood, Rado messes with Abadoo's repairs out of spite, and the cycle repeats itself.

Dank Graks
A pirate gang during the High Republic era made up of former Dark Force cultists. General
- Agent Provocateur: In the fourth issue, he reveals that the Graks were enlisted alongside some other Force cults to cause chaos on Jedha. This makes the Graks proxies for the Path of the Open Hand.
- Arc Villain: They are the main antagonists of The High Republic Adventures (2022).
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Maz notes that while the Graks are incredibly eccentric, they're also incredibly dangerous. It's not an unfounded claim since they all come from Dark Side cults.
- Everyone Has Standards: While both groups are pirates, the Starlight-era incarnation of the Dank Graks despise the Nihil, and only work with them out of necessity to help the worlds that have been cut off from supplies due to the Nihil's negligence.
- Heel–Face Turn: Under Saya Keem's (and later her daughter, Tanana) leadership, the Dank Graks would develop a much more amicable working relationship with Maz Kanata's crew, and even team up against the Nihil when the opportunity presents itself.
Circa 382 BBY
Arkik Von
Grand Grak Arkik Von
Species: Geonosian
Appearances: The High Republic Adventures (2022)
The leader of the Dank Graks, who has a grudge against Maz Kanata for conning him out of control of Takodana and had plans to acquire a weapon to wipe Maz and the Jedi off Takodana.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Seeing how he almost unquestioningly buys into Sav's overly inflated alibi (which includes killing a still-living Jedi Master and eating him), he'll accept just about anyone into the Graks as long as they were from a Dark Side cult. However, he saw right through Sav's lies and just played along with them.
- Evil Counterpart: To Maz during the High Republic era, who is also a Force user in charge of a pirate gang. Unlike Maz, who is a Friendly Pirate and on good terms with the Jedi, Arkik is a former Dark Force cultist with a grudge against her and the Jedi.
- Lady Looks Like a Dude: He mistakes Sav Malagan (a teenage female Kyuzo) for a young boy when she's in her "Bazrip Ratht" disguise and even after he reveals that he knew she was a Jedi all along.
- Moving the Goalposts: When Sav Malagan tries to ingratiate herself into the ranks of the Dank Graks, Arkik has her take the two-part "Trial of the Graks" (which according to Saya Keem, he just made up). After Sav passes the first parts, Arkik suddenly introduces a third part where she has to take out some enforcer droids.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: While he seems to have bought Sav Malagan's outrageous claims of being a ruthless Dark Force user, the sixth issue reveals that he wasn't fooled for a second, and he actually let her join so he could get some intel from her, and use her to lure Maz's pirate gang to Jedha as a distraction to take over Takodana.
- This Cannot Be!: After Sav breaks free from prison with Raf Thatchburn's help, he has this reaction to Sav confronting him in Maz's throne room.Arkik Von: Impossible!
Sav Malagan: I am Sav Malagan, fool. I eat the impossible for breakfast. - Translator Microbes: During his first appearance, he wears a translator mask over his mouth so he can be understood by his newest recruits. In his next appearance, he doesn't wear a mask and speaks Geonosian.
- Winged Humanoid: As a warrior caste Geonosian, he has wings and uses them in his lightsaber duel with Sav. However, his ability to fly does not compensate for his lack of skill with a lightsaber compared to Sav.
Saya Keem
Saya Keem
Species: Zabrak (Iridonian)
Homeworld: Iridonia
Appearances: The High Republic Adventures (2022)
The youngest member of the Dank Graks, originally belonging to a rich family on Coruscant.
- The Baby of the Bunch: When a disguised Sav Malagan asks to join the Dank Graks, she is eager to have her join, if only because she'll have someone closer to her age to talk to.
- Does Not Like Men: In her heart-to-hearts with Sav, she mentions that she dislike boys (except for Drrn, whom she sees as something else), which is how she figured out she actually wasn't a boy like the other Graks presumed.
- Dragon Ascendant: After Arkik Vonn was captured, she became the new leader of the Dank Graks and reshaped it into a more noble group of pirates.
- First Love: Her first love was Sav, and she was heartbroken by their parting on Jedha. They eventually patched things out and became friends.
- Has a Type: It is mentioned in Escape From Valo that Sav was far from the only Jedi that Saya fell in love with.
- Interspecies Romance: She (an Iridonian Zabrak) develops a crush on Sav Malagan (a Kyuzo) when the latter infiltrates the Dank Graks.
- Karma Houdini: She never faced any comeuppance for her involvement in Arkik Von's plot.
- Legendary in the Sequel: By the time of Escape from Valo (150 years after The High Republic Adventures (2022)), Saya has become known as a legendary pirate queen.
- Mayfly–December Romance: Her relationship with Sav was ultimately one of these, since Kyuzo have much longer lifespans than Zabraks (who live about as long as humans). At the time of the Nihil crisis (150 years later), Saya has long since passed away while Sav is still alive (albeit still elderly) at the age of 165.
- Only Sane by Comparison: The Dank Graks are a bunch of weirdos. Between Arkik's megalomania, Drrn being easily provoked, and Lavalox Verzen being a trigger-happy and cannibalistic lunatic, the worst that can be said about Saya is that she can be a Cloud Cuckoolander and thrill-seeking teenager at times. However, she's also the only person in the group to catch on that "Bazrip Ratht" is actually a girl and not a boy as the other three presumed. She's also the only person on the Grim Devourer who seems to know how to cook good food.
- Perky Goth: Her in her first few appearances, she seems to be the dark and brooding type. When Sav tries to join (under the alias of "Bazrip Ratht"), she proves to be excited by the idea of another teenager joining the crew, is gleeful at being lifted up with the Force (whereas Drrn and Lavalox are uncomfortable), and is very forthcoming with Sav. She also ecstatically refers to Tanteek, Raf Thathburn's Corellian hound as a "puppy".
- Riches to Rags: She was originally from a wealthy family on Coruscant. She left because that lifestyle was, in her words, a "carefully manicured hell hole".
- The Smurfette Principle: She's the only girl among the Dank Graks. This is subverted in the final issue, where Tera Sinube (who was impersonating Lavalox Verzen the whole comic) reveals that the real Lavalox is a woman.
- Took a Level in Kindness: After becoming the new leader of the Dank Graks, she reformed them into a nobler breed of pirates.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: She and Drrn were away from Takodana when Arkik was defeated. She was last seen on Jedha, but her whereabouts after that are unknown, while Drrn left to look for her. Escape From Valo (long after she passed away) revealed that she eventually became the new leader of the Graks and reformed them.
Drrn
Drrn
Species: Muun
Appearances: The High Republic Adventures (2022) | Escape From Valo
A quiet and imposing member of the Dank Graks.
- Ambiguous Gender Identity: He's referred to with masculine pronouns, but Saya sees him as something else. However, Drrn does not comment on it at all.
- Beware the Quiet Ones: So far, his dialogue consists of contemplative sounds and angry grunts. However, it doesn't take much to set him off.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: On the surface, he seems to be the most reserved of the Graks, usually just standing there looking creepy. When Saya teases him by throwing a pillow at him while on break, he tries to chase after her.
- Hidden Depths: While he seems to be the silent, dark and brooding type, Saya suggests that he's actually a bit of a softy unless provoked.
- Karma Houdini: Like Saya, he didn't face any repercussions for his part in Arkik Von's plot.
- Lean and Mean: He's a dark and shady Muun who is also part of a group Dark Force-using pirates.
- Long-Lived: He's still alive by the time of the Nihil crisis, making him over 150 years old.
- Only Friend: Until Sav Malagan infiltrated them, Saya considered Drrn to be her only friend among the Graks. When Saya is left on Jedha, Drrn leaves Arkik Von behind in his time of need to go pick her up. This friendship would also extend to Saya's descendants.
- Papa Wolf: While he isn't related by blood, it is said that he would burn down the galaxy to protect the Keem family.
- Right in Front of Me: He's on the giving end of this trope when Maz infiltrates the Grim Devourer, with her bumping right into Drrn thinking he's a curtain at first before being captured.
Lavalox Verzen (Major Spoiler Warning!)
Lavalox Verzen
Species: Cosian
Appearances: The High Republic Adventures (2022)note
A deranged and trigger-happy member of the Dank Graks. In truth, he was actually Jedi Master Tera Sinube in disguise while he infiltrated the Dank Graks, with the real Lavalox having been admitted to the Grava Monastery.
- Ax-Crazy: To say Lavalox has more than a few screws loose would be a massive understatement. The real Lavalox is also implied to be clinically insane, as Tera Sinube mentions he had admitted her to the Grava Asylum, the same place where Azlin Rell would be treated after his encounter with the Nameless.
- Impersonation-Exclusive Character: As the Lavalox seen in The High Republic Adventures is actually Tera Sinube in disguise, the real Lavalox is never seen as she has since been admitted to the Grava Monastery.
- Lethal Chef: According to Saya, his cooking leaves a lot to be desired, which may or may not have something to do with his unusual tastes.
- The Mole: He's actually an undercover Tera Sinube.
- Obfuscating Insanity: His trigger-happy and cannibalistic persona is all just an act on Tera Sinube's part. However, it's implied the real Lavalox was genuinely insane, as she had already been admitted to an asylum for Force users.
- Samus Is a Girl: After revealing himself to be Tera Sinube, he casually reveals that the real Lavalox is a woman.
- Sapient Eat Sapient: If him asking what certain people taste like is any indication, he's a serial cannibal of sentient species. When Sav Malagan claims to have killed Tera Sinube to the Dank Graks, Lavalox — a Cosian like Master Sinube — asks what he tasted like, with Sav replying that he tasted bland. This becomes a case of Refuge in Audacity when "Lavalox" reveals that he is Tera Sinube.
- Stereotype Flip: Cosians are known for their curiosity. Lavalox is a cannibalistic lunatic that's curious about what other people taste like after they've been killed.
- Walking Spoiler: It's hard to say much about his characterization beyond his apparent lunacy without mentioning his true identity.
Circa 229 BBY
Tanana Keem
Tanana Keem
Species: Zabrak (Iridionian)
Appearances: Escape From Valo
The daughter of Saya Keem, and the future leader of the Dank Graks after the Fall of Starlight Beacon.
- Everyone Has Standards: She and Zyle both despise the Nihil, but only work with them out of necessity, because they are the ones that give them free reign to deliver essential supplies across the Occlusion Zone (and to those whom the Nihil otherwise neglect at best).
- Muggle Born of Mages: She did not inherit her mother's Force-sensitivity, a fact that does not bother her like it does her child Zyle.
Zyle Keem
Zyle Keem
Species: Zabrak (Iridonian)
Appearances: Escape From Valo
Tanana Keem's child and prodigy, who in their young age, wants to do more to help out their mother.
- Guns Akimbo: They carry around two blaster pistols with pearl grips.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: They come to Valo in a stolen Nihil shuttle claiming that they're just after what's aboard the sunken Innovator, but they come to sympathize with the plight of the Jedi survivors.
- Muggle Born of Mages: They are not Force-sensitive like their grandmother Saya, which is a point of insecurity for Zyle.
Taborr Val Dorn's Gang
Taborr Val Dorn
Taborr Val Dorn
Homeworld: Vuundalla
Voiced by: Trey Murphy
Appearances: Young Jedi Adventures
A young aspiring pirate and the captain of the Iron Talon, who, along with his cohorts Pord and EB-3, frequently operated on Tanoo and clashed with Jedi Initiate Kai Brightstar and his friends.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Underneath his helmet, Cyrus has pinkish-red skin. His species isn't explicitly stated, but he and his parents may be Zeltrons.
- Arch-Enemy: To the Younglings of Tanoo, particularly Kai Brightstar. Though their relationship gets increasingly complex as the show goes on, he's is the longest and most persistent enemy they face, and his rivalry with Kai is strong enough that during a force vision Kai's mind specifically conjures Taborr as a The Corrupter to antagonize him.
- Badass Normal: Taborr has no apparent force sensitivity and is armed with just an electrostaff 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.
- Berserk Button: He does not like other people - especially other pirates - dismissing him as "Just a Kid". Part of this stems from his ineffectualness as Prince Cyrus Vuundir.
- Bruce Wayne Held Hostage: A villainous variation. He once attempted a robbery in a place where his civilian identity was last seen. When the Jedi arrive and find Taborr instead of Cyrus, they assume Cyrus was taken hostage and Taborr ends up accidentally on the hook for kidnapping himself. He does almost decide to just come clean instead of going through the hassle, but in the end he instead manages to con the Jedi into letting him escape in exchange for Cyrus being "let go."
- Card-Carrying Villain: He's a pirate and he wants everyone to know it.
- The Faceless: For much of Young Jedi Adventures, he never takes off his helmet. It isn't until "The Pirate and the Prince" that his identity is revealed as Prince Cyrus Vuundir, who Kai and friends met in "Aftershock", an episode Taborr was otherwise uninvolved in.
- Fame Through Infamy: Downplayed. 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 Wretched Hive 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. However, unlike other examples of this trope, he takes a Poke the Poodle approach to his piracy. 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.
- Gilded Cage: Part of his aspirations to be a great pirate are because his parents - the rulers of Vuundalla - practically keep him sheltered in their palace and unable to do much of anything.
- Gold Fish Poop Gang: He and his gang are the most commonly recurring antagonists in Young Jedi Adventures, but ultimately pose very little threat to the main characters.
- Hidden Agenda Villain: From the heroes' point of view. To the Tanoo Younglings, Taborr doesn't seem to have any concrete motivations, and while he's out to prove himself as a pirate it's not clear why he's doing it or what he aims to achieve, with the end of "Team Up" having them outright deem him a bit of a mystery. As the other entries here show, that comes from them not knowing how his true identity affects things.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: He is desperate to prove his worth as a pirate and won't tell you otherwise, but sometimes, will do the right thing. Despite their repeated conflicts, even Kai and his friends realize Taborr has some good points. This is acknowledged by Yoda at the end of the first season, who can sense that there is a lot of conflict in Cyrus, but also a lot of great potential.
- His Own Worst Enemy: As his Motive Rant towards Kai in the Season 1 finale suggests, he hates his life as Prince Cyrus because of how utterly impotent he feels as a royal due to his parents confining him to the palace all while they themselves neglect the needs of their own people. His self-loathing towards his life as Cyrus runs deep enough that he's genuinely dumbfounded to find the Younglings care about Cyrus as a person and prioritize his well being over other important things.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: The acts of piracy he commits are desperate attempts to gain recognition from the pirates of Yarrum Tower. However, he barely gets any respect for it.
- My Beloved Minions: Despite frequently butting heads with them, he genuinely cares for Pord and EB-3.
- Pet the Dog: Taborr has a soft spot for people in serious need, though it may take some doing to convince him that's the case. In "Off the Rails," he backs off of a heist even though he had actually won for once after learning that the supplies he intended to steal were going to people in need of homes and, similarly, as Prince Cyrus he openly defies his parents in order to get the supplies needed to rebuild a destroyed village after a quake in "Aftershock."
- Poke the Poodle: Downplayed. As far as pirates go, Taborr is far from one of the worst the Star Wars universe has to offer (and during the part of 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.
- Rebel Prince: He's secretly Prince Cyrus Vuundir living a double-life as a pirate.
- Royal Brat: Played with. When the Youngling's first meet Cyrus outside of his pirate identity he carries himself as a vain, snobbish prince insistent on getting his own way. However, once he sees his people suffering from the episode's crisis, he immediately drops everything to do what he can to help and shows himself to be a caring, if still brash and petulant, person. What's more, it isn't royal entitlement that drives him to be a pirate, but frustration that his royal life is so limited.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: In defiance of his parents keeping him confined in the Vuundalla royal palace, he decides to steal some of the palace's stable-building material to help a poorer outside village rebuild.

- Intelligible Unintelligible: Like many Gamorreans, she only speaks in grunts, but every other character can understand what she says.

- Bumbling Henchmen Duo: He's one half of a duo alongside Pord.
- Only Sane Man: As Pord doesn't vocalize what she says, he's the only one in Taborr's gang willing to point out any flaws in his schemes.
- Silicon Snarker: He's the sole droid in Taborr's gang, and he's very willing to let his opinions out.
Crew of the Meson Martinet
The infamous crew of the Meson Martinet is led by the even more infamous Sidon Ithano. Sidon Ithano
Sidon Ithano
Species: Delphidian
Portrayed by: Calvin Cornwall
Appearances: The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku | Adventures | The Force Awakens | Resistance | The Rise of Skywalker
"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.
- Added Alliterative Appeal: All of his various nicknames are alliterative: Crimson Corsair, Blood Buccaneer, Red Raider.
- Affably Evil: For a feared pirate captain who occasionally goes by the nickname "the Blood Buccaneer", he seems a quite pleasant and agreeable enough fellow, and was willing to let both Finn and Kix join his crew with minimal questions asked.
- Badass Boast: The quote above, which he states after surviving a series of catastrophes with no means of escape.
- Breakout Character: His
Ensemble Dark Horse status for having a cool design and a cool character in a story involving the Clone Wars as artifacts and welcoming Kix to his crew have led to him and his crew getting at least one more story in Adventures. He even gets a background cameo in The Rise of Skywalker. - The Cameo: Watch the Resistance celebration at the end of The Rise of Skywalker very carefully, and his distinctive helmet is there. Wookieepedia confirms that it's him and not someone else wearing a similar helmet.
- Cool Mask: He wears a red mask of Kaleesh origins.
- Crown of Horns: 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.
- A Father to His Men: 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.
- Heel–Face Turn: He appears to have joined the Resistance by the time of The Rise of Skywalker, if his presence at the climactic victory celebration on the base at Ajan Kloss is any indicator.
- Heroic Sacrifice: 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 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.
- The Men First: When there aren't enough escape pods for all of them onboard a collapsing ship, Ithano remains behind so his crew can escape. He survives, though.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Besides being known as the Crimson Corsair, Sidon is also called the Blood Buccaneer and Red Raider. He must really like alliteration.
- Noble Demon: While a feared pirate and raider, he has a strong sense of honor and decency, and cares enough about his crew to 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 the Resistance victory celebration in The Rise of Skywalker is anything to go by.
- No One Could Survive That!: 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.
- Pet the Dog: 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 Kix, who they've only just met, to safety instead of leaving him to die, and then giving up his seat in the escape pods so his crew can make it to safety.
- Red Baron: Known alternatively as the Crimson Corsair, the Blood Buccaneer, and the Red Raider. Bonus points for actually being red.
Quiggold
Quiggold
Species: Gabdorin
Homeworld: Gabdor
Portrayed by: Scott Richardson
Appearances: The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku | The Force Awakens | The Rise of Skywalker
A male pirate who is Ithano's first mate aboard the Meson Martinet.
- Affably Evil: Like his captain, Quiggold is pretty easygoing for a pirate.
- Dressed to Plunder: Like any good pirate, he has a peg leg. His left leg is missing from the knee down, with the replacement being made from a fuel funnel.
- Humanoid Alien: He is a Gabdorin, which are a somewhat stout humanoid amphibian species.
- Number Two: He is Ithano's second-in-command.
- Undying Loyalty: To Ithano. Even after the rest of the crew thinks he is dead.
Reveth
Reveth
Species: Twi'lek
A female pirate in Ithano's crew.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: She's one of the few red Twi'leks to appear in canon. In Legends, this was also a very rare skin color for Twi'leks.
- Artificial Limbs: Her right arm is entirely replaced by a cybernetic prosthetic.
- Breakout Character: Her Ensemble Dark Horse 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 Kix in at least one more story in Adventures.
- Cool Mask: Has a cool protection mask on her headgear, though it might be Goggles Do Nothing.
- The Smurfette Principle: She's the only woman in Ithano's pirate crew.
SPOILER Character for Crimson Corsair
Kix (CT-6116)
See his entry on the 501st Legion page.
Sovereign Latitudes of Maracavanya
Established in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, the Sovereign Latitudes of Maracavanya is a pirate nation situated in Wild Space that preys on both the New Republic and Imperial remnants. Consisting of a collective of pirate crews operating under the banner of Eleodie Maracavanya, the Sovereign Latitudes offered an alternative to both the Republic and Empire's philosophies. Eleodie Maracavanya
Eleodie Maracavanya
Homeworld: Nar Shaddaa
Appearances: Life Debt | Empire's End
The self-proclaimed ruler the Sovereign Latitudes of Maracavanya in Wild Space. They grew up on Nar Shaddaa and was once enslaved by the Empire. After the fall of the Empire, Maracavanya's crew got ahold of the Super Star Destroyer Annihilator, which they renamed Liberty's Misrule.
- Affably Evil: For a pirate ruler, Maracavanya is quite the charming being with strict rules about killing only when necessary. Their charisma is one reason they have attracted so many loyal followers.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Once a slave to the Empire, they became one of the most feared and powerful pirates in the galaxy who established their own pirate government.
- Lovable Rogue: They have a fairly strict code, steals only to ensure their people are taken care of, and hates the Empire with a passion.
- Non-Human Non-Binary: They and their subordinates alternatively use masculine, feminine and non-binary pronouns.
- Sinister Scythe: Wields an electro-scythe as their personal weapon, which can fold into a staff.
- Visionary Villain: Seeks to establish a pirate collective in Wild Space that can maintain their own territory and protect it from outside threats while mutually sharing any loot from their raids. They also hope this would make the pirates less murderous, as their numbers would cause their targets to submit without a fight.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: The status of Maracavanya's enclave has yet to be revealed after the end of the war.
Vinthar
Vinthar
Species: Sarkan
Appearances: Life Debt
A Sarkan member of Maracavanya's crew.
- I Am X, Son of Y: He proudly presents himself as "Vinthar, the Sarkan of Egg-Brood Xazin'nizar".
- Lizard Folk: Sarkans like Vinthar are human-sized anthropomorphic lizards with long tails.
Warbird Gang
A pirate gang that terrorizes the planet of Castilon. Their primary target is the Colossus, a major refueling station and racing platform, which they attack at the behest of the First Order.
- Equal-Opportunity Evil: The Warbirds have men and women from numerous different species among their ranks.
- The Exile: After a failed mutiny attempt using salvaged Super Battle Droids, all of the Warbirds sans Synara are exiled from the Colossus without their weapons and a hyperdrive by suggestion of Synara herself. Her reasoning is that keeping them prisoner would be a waste of manpower and resources.
- Scarred Equipment: Many of the Warbirds wear scavenged pieces Imperial armor that is in very rough shape.
- Stealth Pun:
- Although they also are Space Pirates like many others in the Star Wars universe, they're among the very few who predominantly make atmospheric raids: they make air piracy.
- To a less extent (i.e. not so stealthy pun), their main target is the Colossus, an off-shore platform in the middle of an ocean, making them regular pirates.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: After the Warbirds join forces with the Colossus to help them escape from Castilon, they have a strained working relationship with Captain Doza as a result of the Warbirds' prior antagonism and being purely self-interested. And more often than not, any notions of them trying to help the Colossus is just an excuse to undermine Doza's authority.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: After their failed mutiny aboard the Colossus, the Warbirds are left behind on the Galleon with no weapons or hyperdrive while the Colossus continues on its journey, with no hint what happened to them afterward.
Kragan Gorr
Kragan Gorr
Species: Quarren
Homeworld: Mon Cala
Voiced by: Gary Anthony Williams
Appearances: Choose Your Destiny | Resistance
The leader of the Warbird Gang.
- Artificial Limb: He has a cybernetic left hand.
- Big Bad Ensemble: He and his pirates are the other antagonistic faction in the series, initially in cahoots with the First Order until they're betrayed and forced to join forces with the Colossus to survive. Kragan still ends up being a villain to the end, as he attempts a mutiny with salvaged Super Battle Droids before he's finally ousted and ejected from the station.
- Cool Ship: The Galleon is a barge that serves as a mobile base of operations for the Warbirds that resembles a classic maritime pirate ship cobbled together from old vehicle parts, much like the other Warbird vehicles.
- Deal with the Devil: The Warbirds took a contract from the First Order to attack the Colossus, in the hope of scaring the population into accepting their protection. When that failed, the Warbirds kidnapped Torra Doza, thinking the Order would use her as a bargaining chip to force Doza to surrender control of the platform. Of course, the First Order decided to backstab the pirates once they had what they needed, as part of their PR campaign to look like heroes to the citizens of the Colossus.
- Early-Bird Cameo: He makes an appearance as a part of Grox's gang in Choose Your Destiny: A Luke & Leia Adventure, released shortly before Resistance came out.
- Enemy Mine: When the Colossus is under assault by the First Order while trying to escape Castilon, Kragan comes to their aid and docks his ship aboard the station before it jumps to hyperspace, knowing that his gang has outlived its usefulness to the First Order and will be hunted down without allies to help them survive. His alliance with Captain Doza ends when he decides to mutiny against him and take over the Colossus, and then he and his pirates are evicted.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Kragan has a scarred face and lost some of his facial tentacles at some point.
- Meaningful Name: "Kragan" sounds like "kraken", a giant squid sea monster that is said to attack ships. Befitting the name, Kragan is also a Quarren.
- Parental Substitute: He raised Synara and Valik as if they were his own daughters.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Major Vonreg decides to hold out on his payment to the Warbirds for kidnapping Torra Doza and attacks them as part of a False Flag Operation (and killing some of them in the process), Kragan decides he's done working with the First Order.
- Token Evil Teammate: For most of season 2, he's still the ruthless pirate that antagonized everyone in the first season, just forced into an Enemy Mine due to the larger threat of the First Order. This doesn't work out well for the heroes when he spies an opportunity to take over the Colossus for himself.
- Ungrateful Bastard: He is called out on this by Yeager for mutinying against the Colossus after all they did for him and his pirates. To be fair, Captain Doza never attempted to properly negotiate with Kragan, and Kragan was never allowed to have his say during his time on the Colossus.
- Would Hurt a Child: He is perfectly willing to go along with the First Order's plan to kidnap Captain Doza's teenage daughter as a way of pressuring him into accepting the First Order's "protection".
Synara San
Synara San
See her entry on the Star Wars - the Colossus character page.
Valik
Valik
Species: Palliduvan
Voiced by: Jennifer Hale
Appearances: Resistance
A member of the Warbird Gang.
- Call-Back: She's the same species as bounty hunter Aurra Sing. In fact, Valik is the second Palliduvan in canon, and her existence is what clarified that Aurra was a Palliduvan (or at least partially) after her species was left as Ambiguously Human.
- Dark Action Girl: Quite the skilled pirate and fighter, managing to not only infiltrate the Colossus and kidnap Torra but also survive the First Order's betrayal of the Warbirds.
- Happily Adopted: Synara says she and Valik were raised together by Kragan. Unlike Synara, Valik is perfectly happy with the life of a pirate and stays loyal to Kragan.
- Horned Humanoid: As a pureblooded Palliduvan, she has a row of long spikey horns running along her head.
- Meaningful Name: Valac
is a demon from The Lesser Key of Solomon. In the Munich Manual of Demonic Magic, he's associated with dowsing, the ability to find treasures. - Tattooed Crook: As is appropriate for a pirate, Valik has numerous tattoos.
- Would Hurt a Child: She has no issue kidnapping Torra and turning her over to the First Order.
Gorian Shard's gang
Gorian Shard
Captain Gorian Shard
Portrayed by: Nonso Anozie
Appearances: The Mandalorian
"Surrender your ship and I will spare your life."
A feared pirate lord who operated in the sector around Nevarro following the fall of the Empire.
- Disk-One Final Boss: His first appearance sets him up as the Arc Villain for the third season - only for him to die in his second episode.
- Expy: While a Plant Person rather than a Cthulhumanoid, Shard's appearance and occupation nonetheless evoke Captain Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean.
- Moral Myopia: He accuses Greef of murdering his men, ignoring their culpability in the matter since they attempted to fire first after being given a chance to leave peacefully.Greef: Don't mistake my hospitality for weakness.
Shard: Is that what you call gunning down my helmsman in cold blood? When he let down his guard on your planet.
Greef: He shot first.
Shard: Well, now I will shoot first. - Plant Person: His skin is covered with moss looking growths and his chin adorned with an impressive beard of what appears to be seaweed.
- Taking You with Me: Down to one engine and no fighters, Shard's last act is to attempt a spiteful bombardment of the Nevarro townspeople rather than try and flee. This gets him and the rest of his crew killed by Din and Bo-Katan finishing his ship off.
Vane
Vane
Species: Kajain'sa'Nikto
Portrayed by: Marti Matulis
Appearances: The Mandalorian
A lieutenant under Shard, Vane commands the pirate gang's snubfighter squadrons.
- Entitled Bastard: As far as Vane is concerned, since Greef used some money he got from a job with Captain Gorian Shard to build his saloon, Shard's pirates can just march in and treat the place as they please, even after it's been converted into a school and Greef is offering them a drink elsewhere.
- Evil Is Petty: He and his men are willing to threaten Greef for denying them a drink in his old saloon, even though the building has long since been repurposed as a school.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Once the rest of the gang's snubfighters are destroyed and Vane realizes their cruiser is crippled, he swiftly tells Shard that's its been a pleasure serving under him but that it's time to part ways and flees the battle.
- Sole Survivor: Except for a handful of pirates on the ground who are captured, the rest of Shard's gang is killed by the Children of the Watch with only Vane escaping with both his life and freedom.
- Underestimating Badassery: Believing that Greef has "gone soft" from his days as guild leader when he associated with pirates, Vane tries to intimidate the High Magistrate. Greef demonstrates that he's just as good as he ever was by shooting Vane's blaster in a Quick Draw.
Pirate Coxswain
Pirate Coxswain
Species: Ughnaut
Portrayed by: Mat Fraser
Appearances: The Mandalorian
An Ugnaught pirate and a member of Gorian Shard's pirate crew.
- Bearer of Bad News: All of his lines consist of informing Shard of his plan falling apart.
- Bumbling Sidekick and Hypercompetent Sidekick: Walks the line between the two. On the one hand, he quickly begins to panic and Shard has to repeat several of his orders(most of which only make things worse for the pirate crew), but on the other hand, he carries all of his boss' orders out successfully and even suggests some alternative options which would've been a safer and better approach(such as taking down Mando before organizing a counter attack, and fleeing instead of doing a Suicide Attack).
- Expy: He's a more competent and evil version of Mr. Smee. The biggest difference is the fact that the coxswain has no problem carrying out more evil orders, such as firing at innocent civillians and is much more competent at his job then Mr. Smee.
- Going Down with the Ship: Alongside Shard and the rest of the crew.
- Honest Advisor: He suggests taking down Mando first before regrouping to organize a counter attack, and tells his captain that they have to leave whilst they still can, Shard refuses which leads to their deaths.
- Know When to Fold 'Em / Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Suggest that they flee after Vane has abandoned them and they're down to their last engine. Shard decides to do a Suicide Attack instead.
- Mook Lieutenant: He's a random pirate who informs Shard of several key events.
- Oh, Crap!: First when he sees the Mandalorian show up, then when he realizes the attack was a diversion, then when their engines start getting destroyed and finally when his captain orders to attack rather then flee.
- Shout-Out: As mentioned above, he has a(likely intentional) resemblance to Mr. Smee from Disney's Peter Pan.
Bedlam Raiders
A pirate crew that preyed upon salvagers and prospectors on Koboh and neighboring worlds. Notable for being led by one of the rare and deadly Gen'Dai and for their massive arsenal of Separatist weaponry, courtesy of the crashed Lucrehulk battleship they use as a home base.
General
- Badass Army: Have the capacity to be this when fully deployed and competently led — the game’s rating system even ranks their cannon fodder as superior to their Imperial counterparts, and they make short work of a decently equipped Imperial garrison on Koboh. It’s Downplayed in the larger perspective, though, since they have nowhere near the resources to make full war on the Empire, and need Tanalorr as a sanctuary themselves.
- Elite Mooks: Have a few of their own equipped with vibrio-hammers, and thanks to their utilization of old Separatist battle droids, they have the same cadre of elite henchman the CIS had: Magnaguards, BX-series Commando droids, and droidekas. The handful of lightsaber equipped and trained soldiers they have also qualify as this in the literary sense, though they’re more straight up bosses game-wise.
- Equal-Opportunity Evil: Their ranks include a Gen'Dai, Mandalorians, and reprogrammed battle droids.
- From Camouflage to Criminal: While their organic members are ordinary pirates (give or take the odd Proud Warrior Race Guy), their droids are reprogrammed Separatist soldiers who still remember some of their old allegiances... and their old grudges. You'll sometimes hear them shouting Clone Wars-era slogans against you.
- Mecha-Mooks: They have reprogrammed Separatist Battle Droids to serve as cannon fodder.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: They were founded by one of these, and are shaped by his ideals despite being mainly just an organised crime syndicate. Rayvis holds his people to 'the code', a loose honour system, and has gone out of his way to recruit other Proud Warrior Race Guy lieutenants including several Mandalorians.
- Salvage Pirates: They prey on salvagers and prospectors, and use stolen or self-salvaged gear to augment their arsenal, with their Lucrehulk fortress taking pride of place.
Rayvis
Captain Rayvis
"It seems our destinies are intertwined."
Species: Gen'Dai
Portrayed By: D.C. Douglas
Appearances: Jedi: Survivor
"A Jedi. Remind our friend here why his kind are supposed to be dead."
An ancient warrior with a mysterious past and a strict code of honor; Rayvis leads the Bedlam Raiders in the years preceding the Galactic Civil War.
- Affably Evil: A ruthless pirate and an even more vicious monster who craves battle above everything else, Rayvis is rather cordial and polite on a good day and is capable of being honorable and even friendly towards those who earn his respect.
- Alas, Poor Villain: He chooses to go out fighting over being torn in deciding which Worthy Opponent to follow, hence his decision to attack Cal, even after being defeated, hoping to get the warrior's death he desperately wanted for years. Cal has no satisfaction in cutting down Rayvis, with his death being framed in a somber tone.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Purple skin with orange eyes.
- Ax-Crazy: He's got a vicious, bloodhungry streak and is very vocal when telling someone to be killed off should they disappoint him. In battle, he's an absolute monster capable of wrecking the environment if it means defeating and capturing his enemies. Still, he's a downplayed case as, despite the sheer brutality he is capable of inflicting, Rayvis is mentally well-adjusted in comparison to Dagan and Bode.
- Bald of Evil: He can't really help it as his species is congenitally hairless, but he's not a very nice guy.
- Baritone of Strength: He's got exactly the sort of deep, throaty growl you'd expect from a hulking alien brute like him.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: As with all of his species, he has no bones, so his armor essentially serves as an artificial exoskeleton.
- Blood Knight: He lives only for two things - to aid those he is loyal to and to experience satisfying combat. Both Dagan and Cal first get his attention through their fighting skills, and his greatest ambition is to be on the front lines of another great galactic war.
- Brutish Character, Brutish Weapon: His signature weapon suits both his strength and his savagery - it's a massive spiked mace with an extendable chain that also lets it serve as a flail.
- Combat Sadomasochist: During his fight and once he takes a few lightsaber hits, Rayvis would muse about how exhilarating it is to feel a lightsaber's burn, claiming it to be a better feeling than getting hit by blaster shots.
- Death Seeker: Rayvis's greatest desire is to die an honorable death via combat against a powerful opponent. He expresses disappointment over how it took a group of Jedi to defeat him yet they refused to kill him. When defeated by Cal and even giving him the information needed for the latter to find Dagan and the compass leading to Tanalorr, Rayvis refuses any alliance with Cal, attacking him to force the Jedi into giving him exactly what he wanted.
- Defeat Means Friendship: He swore loyalty to Dagan after he defeated him in combat. Once Cal bests him, he chooses to die a warrior's death rather than choose between two Worthy Opponents.
- The Dragon: To Dagan Gera, who defeated Rayvis many years ago in single combat, which caused the Gen'dai to swear fealty to his victorious opponent, which incidentally makes Rayvis the most active threat to Cal thanks to his leadership of the Bedlam Raiders. In spite of his role, he and Dagan share a good friendship with one another.
- The Dreaded: He's a centuries-old Gen'Dai (a Proud Warrior Race Guy species with legendary strength and durability) who became a bandit warlord and captured the mostly-intact wreckage of a battleship designed for solo planetary invasions. The inhabitants of Koboh treat him with all the respectful fear one might imagine they would.
- Epic Flail: He wields one that is made of a lightsaber-resistant alloy.
- Exploited Immunity: His body is just a mass of tentacles with a Healing Factor, and the main reason he uses humanoid Powered Armour is to bait his enemies into going for vitals that he just doesn't have. Impale him through the chest, and he'll just move his tentacles out of the way. Cut off his arm, and he'll just stick it back on.
- Evil Is Bigger: Rayvis has a gigantic stature and is one of the largest sentient humanoid figures in the franchise. Of course, he's a bad guy.
- Face Death with Dignity: He dies exactly like he wanted his death to be; being defeated by someone he would openly acknowledge as a worthy combatant. Although he screams in rage at Cal for his final attack, he sighs in resignation, content that he would go down a warrior.
- Fights Like a Normal: Like Durge before him, he prefers to fight like a humanoid in Powered Armour rather than the cephalopoid Starfish Alien he really is. Unlike Durge, he even keeps at it after his armour is breached, forming humanoid limbs out of braided tentacles rather than letting them move freely. It appears to be part of his odd sense of honor as a Proud Warrior Race Guy.
- Genius Bruiser: Don't let his hulking size and his occupation as the leader of a band of pirates fool you; Rayvis is much smarter and more intelligent than his appearance would suggest, with patience and diligence being one of his strong suits.
- Healing Factor: He's literally a walking cluster of regenerative tentacles. It's thankfully too slow to give him health regen during your boss fight against him, but it's enough to give him an Exploited Immunity to injuries that would be crippling or lethal to any other creature.
- The Heavy: Although Dagan Gera is his master and thus, the main antagonist of Jedi: Survivor, Rayvis is the most recurring threat that Cal deals with thanks to his role as the leader of the Bedlam Raiders and possessing a large swath of control over Koboh. While Dagan is fought more times, Rayvis's presence has more range with his pirates being the most recurring enemies Cal deals with.
- Hidden Depths: His interactions with Dagan shows that he is more introspective than he shows himself to be, namely that he's become rather weary and dissatisfied for being in wars for so long, yet having nothing to be rewarded for and considering the idea of giving up his role as a pirate once Dagan relocates their forces to Tanalorr.
- Honor Before Reason: If he hadn't given up Dagan's plans after losing to Cal then Cal probably wouldn't have been able to stop him. However, Rayvis' personal code has him give Cal this information after being bested. He also could have lived if he had taken up Cal's offer to stop but again he wanted to die a warrior's death more than anything and so he continues to attack until Cal is forced to put him down once and for all.
- Large and in Charge: He's The Captain of the Bedlam Raiders, and he towers over the 5'11" Cal Kestis.
- Lightning Bruiser: In the second stage of his fight after he loses some armor he starts moving fast for a creature of his size and will clobber Cal into next week if he doesn't stay on his toes.
- Logical Weakness: His Healing Factor is powerful, but he's no Perpetual-Motion Monster - to grow something back, he needs to expend energy. Simple attrition is enough to eventually tire him out and make sure whatever you cut off stays cut off. It's how Cal eventually defeats him, wearing him out until he can no longer stay standing.
- Made of Iron: He can No-Sell lightsaber strikes that are instant death to battle droids and stormtroopers.
- Noble Demon: Despite his savage nature, Rayvis possesses a code of honor and gives his opponents an opportunity to impress him, whether by defeating his minions or, even better, defeating Rayvis in a one-on-one match. To further the point, he prefers taking on a humanoid shape via his armor to give his opponents a better chance at fighting him and he finds a warrior's death (as in getting killed in single combat) to be the most honorable way for someone like him to go out on.
- Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: In practical terms, he's a warrior on par with (or slightly better than) the average Imperial Inquisitor who commands the approximate military strength of a grounded but fully-crewed Star Destroyer. That's a major deal on the Outer Rim, but a drop in the ocean compared to the might of the real Galactic Empire. It says a lot that the arrival of Imperial colonisation forces on Koboh in the postgame of Survivor does far more to drive people away from the planet than the Bedlam Raiders ever did.
- Not Afraid to Die: He's a fanatical Blood Knight who believes that the possibility of his own death is an essential part of a satisfying fight. It says a lot about him that his head, the only part of him that can suffer lethal injury, is also the only part of him that he doesn't wear armor on.
- Obviously Evil: Giant stature, decked in heavy armor, is usually followed by a group of fearsome-looking soldiers, has sharp teeth, and wields a giant mace for a weapon... Rayvis is not subtle about being a villain.
- One-Man Army: It took a team of Jedi Masters to subdue Rayvis. And this was during the High Republic Era when the Jedi were at their strongest and most prosperous. This speaks volumes of just how powerful Rayvis is, helped by the fact that he is part of a species that is renowned for their power, regenerative abilities, and general tenacity.
- Powered Armour: Implied. Given that he's basically just a big alien octopus squeezed into a suit of armour, it can be assumed that said armor includes a powered exoskeleton to help him look (and move) like a humanoid. It's purely for mobility and precision, though, not strength, as he demonstrates during his boss fight - losing his armour plating on his arm and relying on the tentacles beneath doesn't weaken him at all.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: He belongs to a species that gives Wookiees and Mandalorians a run for their money in this regard, and carries on their ideals in his interactions with Cal and Dagan.
- Really 700 Years Old: Part of a long-lived species, and the producers of Jedi Survivor have described him as being centuries old.
- Shadow Archetype: The Jedi Survivor producers have indicated that he is something of one to Cal Kestis. "A warrior knows a warrior."
- Starfish Alien: Don't let his Powered Armour fool you - he's got more in common with an octopus than a human physiologically, and his 'limbs' are actually masses of tentacles. Among other things, this gives him a very handy Exploited Immunity to attacks that would work on creatures with a humanoid anatomy.
- Strong and Skilled: Begitting of a centuries-old warrior, Rayvis is incredibly strong thanks to a combination of using a brutish mace, his strange physiology providing him superhuman strength, heavy-decked armor for defense, and years of combat experience to make him a seasoned and skilled fighter. Although he may not be the fastest foe, he's much more agile and reflexive than someone of his size, especially once he sheds off portions of his armor. Overall, he stands out as among Cal's strongest enemies for those reasons.
- Suicide by Cop: When Cal shows hesitance in killing Rayvis, he gets up and roars in anger, striking his mace at the Jedi several times in an attempt to force Cal into delivering the killing blow. He has a sigh of relief and satisfaction when he realizes Cal is about to cut him down for good.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To the Legends' version of Durge - both are heavily-armoured Gen'Dai bounty hunters who have a particular enmity with Jedi, have some connection to the CIS (Durge was a Separatist general, while Rayvis leads a pirate band that makes extensive use of Separatist tech), and have enough proficiency in melee combat to fight Jedi to a standstill. Unlike Durge, however, he's perfectly willing to work alongside a Mandalorian, and is a Noble Demon and Worthy Opponent rather than a Card-Carrying Villain psychopath.
- Uncertain Doom: He forces Cal to put him down, but the strike that Cal uses to do so doesn't look like it would be fatal to one of Rayvis's species unless they're Adaptational Wimps.
- Undying Loyalty: Rayvis is honor-bound to Dagan Gera and sees him as a friend just as much as he does a Worthy Opponent. When Cal Kestis defeats him in the Shattered Moon, Rayvis concedes that Cal bested him and is worthy of his respect, he reaffirms his loyalty to Dagan even after Cal states that Rayvis should join Cal's side, clearly wanting to be given a warrior's death over being conflicted into choosing between two Jedi warriors he respects.
- Villain Respect: Develops one for Cal Kestis after seeing him best one of his lieutenants and asserting that he does look forward to fighting him one day, musing about missing the days of clashing against a Jedi. He's more impressed about Cal defeating him if him revealing to him the information about the compass and Dagan's location is of any indication and is content in being killed by him, acknowledging Cal is a Worthy Opponent.
- Villainous Friendship: He has this with Dagan Gera. While his oath to Dagan is based around him being bested in combat, it's clear that the two see each other as friends and genuinely care about one another. Rayvis even briefly muses about giving up his life of endless conflict to go to Tanalorr with Dagan.
- War Is Hell: A very strange variation; Rayvis indeed enjoys combat more than anything else, but during a conversation with Dagan, he confides that in the current age, wars have since become obsolete with little to nothing in the way of rewards and seems to be just tired of it. He even wonders if he might consider the idea of leaving behind his occupation once Dagan reaches Tanalorr.
- The Worm That Walks: Gen'Dai are essentially walking bundles of nerves that are able to appear humanoid because of the armor they wear.
- Worthy Opponent: Rayvis is open to developing a sense of respect and praise for whoever shows considerable skill in combat and even more should they best him in combat, being impressed that Cal was able to defeat one of his lieutenants and wishing to fight him at another time. His loyalty to Dagan Gera is based on the fact that the Jedi Knight defeated Rayvis in single combat, which impressed Rayvis enough to swear allegiance to him. He similarly has a similar feeling for Cal when he defeats him, but a combination of being loyal enough to his master and seeking a warrior's death causes Rayvis to attack Cal regardless, wanting to be killed by someone who defeated him fairly.
Zeik
Zeik
"Here we go!"
Appearances: Jedi: Survivor
"Think you can pull a fast one on us?"
A lieutenant of the Bedlam Raiders, Zeik accompanies Rayvis to Rambler's Reach when Turgle offers to sell the key the raiders have been hunting for.
- Advertised Extra: Featured prominently in trailers for Survivor, but dies not long after he's introduced. He's the first named Bedlam Raider to die.
- The Blank: His helmet is featureless.
- Electric Torture: Attempts this on Turgle after he conned the Raiders, but is stopped by Cal Kestis.
- Shock Stick: Wields a large one that vaguely resembles a trident.
Drya Thornne
Drya Thornne
Appearances: Jedi: Survivor
"I was promised something interesting, and here you are!"
A member of the Bedlam Raiders trained in lightsaber combat by Dagan Gera. He wielded an orange lightsaber with a retractable crossguard.
- Arm Cannon: Had a wrist blaster in the gauntlets of one of his gloves.
- Badass Normal: Doesn't have any Force powers, but can competently spar with Cal Kestis in a lightsaber duel.
- Elite Mook: He's a Badass Normal fighter capable of giving Cal a fair fight, but his swordplay is non-existent —not helped by the fact his custom emitter basically creates a slow-but-powerful greatsword — and he needs to make extensive use of his additional gadgets to fight in order to challenge Cal. Despite having some story importance in appearing alongside Rayvis in cutscenes, his most notable contribution to the story comes from Cal using his emitter to create the Cross-Guard stance, and he otherwise doesn't stand out amongst the Raiders.
- Invisibility Cloak: Had a stealth field generator built into his armor, which enabled him to cloak himself Predator style.
- Mythology Gag:

Urgost
Urgost, Fist of Rayvis
Appearances: Jedi: Survivor
"You kept me waiting, Jedi! Dagan Gera chose me to end your pathetic little life."
A highly skilled warrior who caught Rayvis' attention and was trained personally by the leader of the Raiders.
- Blood Knight: His dialogue while dueling Cal shows that he is enjoying the fight and shares Rayvis' love of combat.
- Duel Boss: Fights Cal one-on-one to stop him from reaching Dagan Gera.
- Easy Level Trick: Since he is just a recolored Bedlam Smasher with more HP, he has the same weaknesses that Smashers do: that being you can use Force Lift on him as long as it's upgraded. You can end the fight in less than 10 seconds by lifting him into the air and throwing him over the edge for a Ring Out.
- Palette Swap: He largely resembles a regular Bedlam Smasher but with golden armor rather than the regular rusted red.
- Thunder Hammer: Wields a massive electrohammer in combat. His profile notes that unlike the regular smashers, Urgost views it as not a blunt instrument of death but the instrument he uses to make his "art".
- Worthy Opponent: Makes comments while fighting Cal that indicate he respects the Jedi's skill as a warrior.
Other pirates
Lassa Rhayme
Lassa Rhayme
Species: Pantoran
Appearances: Kindred Spirits | Inferno Squad
A Pantoran pirate who is captain of the Opportunity and leader of the Blood Bone Order. She is a very capable fighter, and can even wield a lightsaber effectively due to having training with a sword.
- Affably Evil: Although she is a pirate, she has a strict code against killing when not necessary, saves Asajj Ventress before knowing she is even useful to her, and is a genuinely cheerful and easy-going person.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: She was elected leader of the Blood Bone Order due to being the toughest and smartest member, and in over two decades she has never been voted out of the position.
- Birds of a Feather: There is a good reason her story with Ventress is titled Kindred Spirits.
- Everyone Has Standards: She does not like killing when there are other options and takes great care to make sure that none of Hondo's men die when she and Ventress infiltrate his base, and forces Ventress to use stun blasts and non-lethal attacks on them. Inferno Squad reveals that she has cultivated her reputation as a bloodthirsty pirate so that her targets surrender quickly and she doesn't have to risk actual bloodshed.
- Facial Markings: Averted: unlike other Pantorans, Lassa has no yellow tattoos on her face. Ventress asks her about her lack of tattoos, and Lassa explains that that it is due to her having no loyalty to anyone but herself and her crew.
- Noodle Incident: At some point she became acquainted with Saw Gerrera and his Partisans, after which she began supplying them with weapons and supplies. She continued to supply the Dreamers after Jedha instead of assisting the Rebel Alliance because she felt she owed it to Saw to help his few remaining followers in what time they had left.
- Pirate: She is a very successful and feared pirate, having apparently spread rumors about being ruthless and a Bad Boss in order to scare her victims and competitors.
- Rubber-Forehead Alien: Aside from her blue skin, purple hair, and golden eyes, she looks human.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: She was tricked by Gideon Hask and Del Meeko of Inferno Squadron into thinking they were members of the Partisans and took them to the Dreamers base on Jeosyn, which eventually lead to the deaths of all the Dreamers.
Rokeg
Rokeg
Species: Dug
Appearances: Rebels Magazine
"The question is not if we're going to make any money, but how much and in what manner. We can use the extra cash to improve our vehicles and defenses."
A male Dug that was the leader of the Dug pirate organization the Syvik Delegation, based on Galzez. When he and his pirates captured rebel Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger, the base was destroyed by the Rebellion's Liberator, which was commanded by a previous captive of theirs, Commander Jun Sato, during the rescue of Ezra Bridger.
- Bullying a Dragon: First they captured a rebel commander, then a Jedi Padawan with connections to the Rebellion. Neither of those sound like fun scenarios, considering the both of them escaped.
- A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: Inverted. While the Syvik Delegation never successfully turns in Sato or Ezra and thus never receive their pay from the Empire, Rokeg lectures his men that no matter how much they make off of the bounty, they have to spend it wisely and save it for future useful investments.
