History Characters / StarWarsPirates

* ArchEnemy: To the Younglings of Tanoo, particularly Kai. 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 TheCorrupter to antagonize him.

* EveryoneHasStandards: While both groups are pirates, the Starlight-era incarnation of the Dank Graks despise the Nihil, and only work with them [[TeethClenchedTeamwork out of necessity]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Under Saya Keem's (and later her daughter, Tanana) leadership, the Dank Graks would develop much more amiable working relationship with Maz Kanata's crew.

* DragonAscendant: After Arkik Vonn was captured, she became the new leader of the Dank Graks until the gang was dissolved.

* HisOwnWorstEnemy: [[spoiler:As his MotiveRant 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.]]

* CardCarryingVillain: He's a pirate and he wants everyone, including the people he steals from to know it.

* HisOwnWorstEnemy: [[spoiler:As his MotiveRant towards Kai in the Season 1 finale suggests, he hates his life as Prince Cyrus 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.]]

* LawmanGoneBad: He used to Coromont's parole officer, but now he's a pirate himself.

* StarfishAlien: He looks like a pet, but he's actually sapient.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Aside from Maz, her gang includes two handicapped former 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, and a rebellious Jedi Padawan.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: 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 likely dead at that point.

* TongueTrauma: It's implied from her backstory of being rescued from the Scarlett Skulls on the day of her initiation ritual that she had her tongue cut out (as is part of the cult's initiation ritual) 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 either disproves this or suggests she may have had it replaced. And she seems to struggle to speak.

->'''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''.

* AffablyEvil: Like his captain, Quiggold is pretty easygoing for a pirate.
* DressedToPlunder: 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.
* HumanoidAlien: He is a Gabdorin, which are a somewhat stout humanoid amphibian species.
* NumberTwo: He is Ithano's second-in-command.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Ithano. Even after the rest of the crew thinks he is dead.

!!!'''Species:''' Twi'lek

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Literature/TalesFromAGalaxyFarFarAwayVolumeOneAliens The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku]]'' | ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsAdventures Adventures]]''

A female pirate in Ithano's crew.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: 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.
* 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''.
* CoolMask: Has a cool protection mask on her headgear, though it might be GogglesDoNothing.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only woman in Ithano's pirate crew.

!!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
!!!'''Homeworld:''' Nar Shaddaa

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Literature/AftermathLifeDebt Life Debt]]'' | ''[[Literature/AftermathEmpiresEnd 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''.

* AffablyEvil: 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.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: 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.
* LovableRogue: They have a fairly strict code, steals only to ensure their people are taken care of, and hates the Empire with a passion.
* NonHumanNonBinary: They and their subordinates alternatively use masculine, feminine and non-binary pronouns.
* SinisterScythe: Wields an electro-scythe as their personal weapon, which can fold into a staff.
* VisionaryVillain: 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.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The status of Maracavanya's enclave has yet to be revealed after the end of the war.

[[folder:Vinthar]]
!!Vinthar
!!!'''Species:''' Sarkan

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Literature/AftermathLifeDebt Life Debt]]''

A Sarkan member of Maracavanya's crew.
----
* IAmXSonOfY: He proudly presents himself as "Vinthar, the Sarkan of Egg-Brood Xazin'nizar".
* LizardFolk: Sarkans like Vinthar are human-sized anthropomorphic lizards with long tails.

!!Warbird Gang
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/warbird_gang.png]]

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.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: According to Sav, anyone who's heard her speak died shortly after. [[spoiler: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.]]

* SuddenlySpeaking: [[spoiler:After saving Raf from some vengeful pirates, she tells Raf why she saved his life.]]
-->'''Shan:''' [[spoiler:...You......make [Alak]......smile...inside...]]
* TongueTrauma: It's implied from her backstory of being rescued from the Scarlett Skulls on the day of her initiation ritual that she had her tongue cut out (as is part of the cult's initiation ritual) before Alak rescued her, which is why she doesn't talk. [[spoiler:However, the fact that she vocally tells Raf Thatchburn why she saved his life either disproves this or suggests she may have had it replaced. And she seems to struggle to speak.]]

* CardCarryingVillain: Seeing how he almost unquestioningly buys into Sav's [[BlatantLies 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. [[spoiler:However, he saw right through Sav's lies and just played along with them.]]

* ObfuscatingStupidity: While he seems to have bought Sav Malagan's outrageous claims of being a ruthless Dark Force user, [[spoiler: 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 [[FeedTheMole lure Maz's pirate gang]] to Jedha as a distraction to take over Takodana.]]
* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:After Sav breaks free from prison with Raf Thatchburn's help, he has this reaction to Sav confronting him in Maz's throne room.]]

* WingedHumanoid: As a warrior caste Geonosian, he has wings [[spoiler: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.]]

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only girl among the Dank Graks. [[spoiler: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.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: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.]]

* LongLived: [[spoiler:He's still alive by the time of the Nihil crisis, making him over 150 years old.]]
* OnlyFriend: Until Sav Malagan infiltrated them, Saya considered Drrn to be her only friend among the Graks. [[spoiler:When Saya is left on Jedha, Drrn leaves Arkik Von behind in his time of need to go pick her up.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:He and Saya were away from Takodana when Arkik was defeated, with Drrn last being reported to have gone to pick Saya up from Jedha.]]

[[folder:Lavalox Verzen]]

A deranged and trigger-happy member of the Dank Graks.

* AxCrazy: To say Lavalox has more than a few screws loose would be a massive understatement. [[spoiler: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.]]
* ImpersonationExclusiveCharacter: [[spoiler: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.]]

* TheMole: [[spoiler:He's actually an undercover Tera Sinube.]]
* ObfuscatingInsanity: [[spoiler: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.]]
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:After revealing himself to be Tera Sinube, he casually reveals that the real Lavalox is a woman.]]
* SapientEatSapient: 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. [[spoiler:This becomes a case of RefugeInAudacity when "Lavalox" reveals that he ''is'' Tera Sinube.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to say much about his characterization beyond his apparent lunacy [[spoiler:without mentioning his true identity]].

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsTheHighRepublicAdventures2022 The High Republic Adventures (2022)]]''

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/77f6f50c_f214_4db2_8592_84b9cdb42553.jpeg]]

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.

A member of the Bedlam Raiders.

* DropTheHammer: 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".

* BadassArmy: 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.

* OnlySaneByComparison: 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 CloudCuckoolander and thrill-seeking teenager at times. However, she's also 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.

* AxCrazy: 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|Trope}} case as, despite the sheer brutality he is capable of inflicting, Rayvis is mentally well-adjusted in comparison to Dagan and [[spoiler:Bode]].

* NotAfraidToDie: He's a fanatical BloodKnight 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 armour on.

* PoweredArmour: Implied. Given that he's basically just a big alien octopus squeezed into a suit of armour, it can be assumed that said armour 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.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: He swore loyalty to [[spoiler: Dagan]] after he defeated him in combat. [[spoiler: Once Cal bests him, he chooses to die a warrior's death rather than choose between two WorthyOpponents.]]
* TheDragon: [[spoiler: To Dagan Gera]].

* FightsLikeANormal: Like Durge before him, he prefers to fight like a humanoid in PoweredArmour rather than the cephalopoid StarfishAlien 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 honour as a ProudWarriorRaceGuy.
* HealingFactor: 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 ExploitedImmunity to injuries that would be crippling or lethal to any other creature.
* HonorBeforeReason: If he hadn't given up [[spoiler: 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.

* VillainousFriendship: He has this with [[spoiler: Dagan Gera]]. While his oath to [[spoiler: 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 [[spoiler: Dagan.]]
