History Characters / StarWarsTheOldRepublicFallenEmpireSpecificCharacters

->'''Voiced by:''' ?

* RealityEnsues: A RagtagBunchofMisfits stands a ''very'' poor chance against the highly competent and dangerous Mandalorian clans. The only reason she and her so-called "fleet" broke the blockade was thanks to the Republic scrambling to lend their support, although she still receives credit, as the blockade would've never been broken without her.

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Downplayed in ''Eternal Throne'' if you spared him and Senya. He believes he's beyond redemption and can only make things better. Even specific dialogue choices mention that [[RealityEnsues he will have to work to earn the Alliance's trust after all he's done]]. This is deconstructed in "The Nathema Conspiracy", as Chela Nayss, one of the potential Order of Zildrog members, was from one of the planets that Arcann ordered to be bombarded during his retaliation campaign against the Alliance, and she is not very happy about the perceived lack of justice.]]

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/valkorion.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:A man can have anything if he is willing to ''sacrifice''.]]

Emperor of the Eternal Empire. Another of Vitiate's incarnations. Vitiate reveals that he had been fleecing the Sith and weakening the Republic so the Eternal Empire, his real followers, could conquer the galaxy with no meaningful opposition.
See [[Characters/StarWarsTheOldRepublicSithEmperor his page]]

* {{Expy}}: A mentally unstable warrior princess, extremely strong in the setting's magic system, treated like a useful but ultimately discarded tool by her tyrant father, and neglected by her mother. She's strongly reminiscent of [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]].

* AbusiveParents: Valkorion sees his children as a means to further his legacy. A lifetime is spent forging his sons into warriors and leaders. The fact he barely recognizes their victories and achievements fosters a great resentment in Arcann over the years. He does eventually show recognition to Arcann... but only ''after'' he slays his other son, Thexan. Apparently one son emerging as the sole heir was the goal all along. Despite this, when their mother tried to take them from him when they were younger, all three mocked her and refused to go. His treatment of Vaylin was even worse, as after she proved too powerful for him to control, [[spoiler:he sent her into the care of a MadScientist living on a Force-void world]].
* AGodAmI: "A god has no family,"
* AHeroToHisHometown: Most of the people in the Eternal Empire revere him greatly; even Koth still thinks the Empire would have been better if he still lived. All are unaware of who he really is and [[OmnicidalManiac what he wants to do]]. By contrast, once the people of his original Empire, the Sith, learn what he had done, they turn on him by the billions.
* AntagonisticOffspring: His own children, obviously. But also to his father, Dramath. The amount of venom in his voice when talking about him could kill a krayt dragon.
-->'''Valkorion''': ''Father.''
* BadassBaritone: He has a very deep, drawling voice.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Effortlessly parries Arcann's ''lightsaber blows'' with his bare hands. [[JustifiedTrope Of course, he's using the Force while doing so]].
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: An Imperial character has several opportunities to call him out on treating the Sith as nothing more than a distraction for his real Empire.]]
* DemocracyIsBad: Valkorion calls democracy "overrated".
-->'''Republic Outlander:''' I wouldn't bother explaining democracy to a Sith.
-->'''Valkorion:''' I am no Sith. And democracy is overrated.
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: A comment in ''Eternal Throne'' implies that Valkorion was once a separate person from Vitiate before having his body hollowed out.]]
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: When his initial attempt to overwhelm the Outlander's mind all at once (which usually works for him) fails, he fights a classic BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind instead. The problem is that since it is the ''Outlander's'' mind the Outlander can change the rules at will; Valkorion is defeated and nearly annihilated almost instantly once the Outlander figures this out.]]
* DyingCurse: [[spoiler:His final words to the Outlander are to remember him when their Alliance turns to ash. This might not even have been a necessary reminder, as the events that precipitate the Alliance ceasing to exist as an independent organization take place on Nathema, facing Zildrog, the last of the Machine Gods, whom Valkorion at some point sealed away on the dead world for safe keeping.]]
* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler:After his body is killed by Arcann, his spirit finds his way into the Outlander's head and offers occasional advice along with offers of his power.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He claims to have genuinely loved [[spoiler:Senya]], even after the two grew distant, and regrets their parting. Given that he is a manipulative and remorseless sociopath who has already discarded his real family by this point, he may have just been saying what the listener wanted to hear. Especially given his statement that "A god has no family," which is delivered to [[spoiler:Senya]] as well as his children. He then tells all of them that they were "motes of filth, drowning in the chaos of the void," before he "graced" them with his presence.
* EvilMentor: [[spoiler: Tries to be this to the Outlander while his spirit is in their mind. How successful he is depends on the player's choices.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has a very deep voice [[spoiler:and has killed billions as Vitiate.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: In contrast to his previous much more openly evil attitude [[spoiler: as Vitiate]], Valkorion occasionally tries to present himself as a reasonable, wise, even caring man. It's transparently a manipulation.
* FinalBossPreview: [[spoiler:He kills Darth Marr with a single powerful blast of Force Lightning.]]
* FirstEpisodeTwist: [[spoiler:He's none other than the Sith Emperor himself. Also, he dies (although his spirit hangs around) and the Outlander is accused of his murder, regardless of the actual circumstances.]]
* GodEmperor: He is openly deified among the people of Zakuul and considering that [[spoiler:he is a nigh-immortal EldritchAbomination]], he has a proper claim to this title.
* TheGoodKing: According to Koth and Senya, Valkorion was for the most part a wise and benevolent ruler who brought order and stability to Zakuul, which causes arguments with Lana since she still sees him as [[spoiler:Vitiate, who is the total opposite of all those things]].
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:He takes over the Outlander's body necessitating the use of a Holocron Relic to take back control from him.]] [[spoiler:Vitiate can all but state on Nathema that Valkorion was a separate person -- a proud knight of Zakuul -- before Vitiate had him "hollowed out" and took over his body.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:His primary goal throughout the expansions to make the Outlander strong enough to take the Throne and become a worthwhile vessel for his spirit.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:His plan is to groom the Outlander into someone worthy of assuming the Eternal Throne, through instruction, challenge and just plain beating them around, forcing them to become more powerful, all so he can take over their body and rule again upon the Eternal Throne. In the process he creates someone with the power and the will to resist his takeover and actually destroy his spirit.]] In addition, [[spoiler:the TriggerPhrase he used to keep Vaylin in check gets used against him]].
* HopelessBossFight: In Chapter 12 of ''Fallen Empire'' you face his spirit with no companion and a limited source of healing(unless you are a healing class). He has a lot of health and his attacks are very powerful and he cannot be stunned or interrupted. When you are in low health, you watch him defeat you in a cutscene. Even if you successfully manage to lower his health, the [[CutsceneIncompetence same cutscene will play anyway.]]
* InTheBack: How he was killed--either by the Outlander's hands or by Arcann.

** Valkorion plays this straighter when he declares that "[[AGodAmI A god has no family]],".
* {{Jerkass}}: In addition to treating his children with cold distaste. Valkorion as a constant air of superiority over everyone and frequently mocks and belittle various different people.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: There are several moments were it looks like Valkorion is not as bad as seems, only to later prove that no, he is. One of the best examples is his relationship with [[spoiler: Senya]]. He claims that she was the one person he ever loved and even seems to have a twinge of regret when [[spoiler: he sees her in The Outlander's mind]], only to declare that "[[AGodAmI A god has no family]]," and "Before I graced you with my presence, you were nothing but motes of filth, drowning in the chaos of the void."
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:The Outlander weakens Valkorion with the holocron Valkorion used to torture his father as well as the trigger phrase he used to restrain Vaylin. The Outlander then finishes Valkorion off with the help of the family Valkorion abused. Tenebrae, who only viewed other people in terms of how he could use them or as distractions, is brought low by those he had abused.]]
* KneelBeforeZod: In the final chapter of ''Eternal Throne'', [[spoiler:The Outlander finally makes it to the Eternal Throne. Valkorion attempts to take control of the Outlander by initially forcing them to kneel before him.]]
* NecessaryEvil: Any time the Outlander calls him out on how he raised Vaylin ([[spoiler:sending her to a MadScientist on a Force-void world to be [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil tortured into insanity]] and have a TriggerPhrase installed]]), he blithely brushes it off as a necessary precaution since [[NeverMyFault "she needed to be contained."]] (However, given some of the ''horrific'' instructions he gave to her caretakers [[spoiler:encouraging them to use ''any'' kind of torture and experimentation just short of ''killing her'']]), his words ring incredibly hollow.
* NeverMyFault: Many times he laments the failings of his children and [[spoiler:Sith]] Empire. The Outlander can point out each time that it's his own fault for how horribly he raised/ruled them, which he always brushes off.
* ObviouslyEvil: [[spoiler: Ironically, despite his overall less intimidating appearance and attempts to feign normalcy, he is this. Even an Outlander who takes his advice and uses his power seem to brace themselves for his inevitable betrayal, knowing full well from Ziost what he is capable of.]]
* OhCrap: His expression on his face says this if the Outlander [[spoiler:summons Tenebrae's father, Lord Dramath, to assist the Outlander in taking down Valkorion.]] And again when they [[spoiler:use Vaylin's TriggerPhrase against him]].
* PutOnABus: In Chapter XII, [[spoiler:he gets annoyed with the Outlander's lack of progress against Arcann and decides to leave them, eventually returning at the very end. Subverted when he tries to bodyjack you; he reveals he never left.]]
* PragmaticVillainy:
** He's patient enough to wait for the Republic and Sith Empire to fight one another to exhaustion before beginning his invasion.
** Valkorion is aware of how powerful the Outlander is, so he attempts to recruit them to stop them from interfering with his plans.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When one of his sons kills the other, his eyes noticeably take on a Sith tint when he extends an arm to Arcann afterwards. [[spoiler:It's a sign of his true identity.]]
* ShockAndAwe: Is capable of shooting lightning [[spoiler:which is how he kills Darth Marr.]]
* SocialDarwinist: Emperor Valkorion has taken this approach to parenting. His twin sons are made to endure harsh training and earn everything the hard way. When Arcann kills his own brother, Thexan, Valkorion extends a hand of approval. He had always desired one to rise above the other as the strongest heir. Furthermore, he only sees Arcann's envy as a weakness, rather than an evil that he encouraged to fester.
* TheSociopath: He built up an image of benevolence with the people he was ruling, but in reality cares very little for them or his family all while having aspirations of godhood.
* SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler:After his bodily death, his spirit latches on to the Outlander's mind and takes to offering advice, whether the Outlander wants it or not.]]
* ThanatosGambit: In Chapter XII, he admits that his death was all part of his plan.
* TrainingFromHell:
** He subjects his sons to this from pretty much the moment they can hold weapons. It's implied their entire lives are a means of forging one of them into a worthy heir willing to make any and all sacrifices for their ambition.
** In Chapter XII, he gets annoyed with the Outlander's lack of progress against Arcann, so he kidnaps them and forces them to fight their way through the Odessen wilderness to prove that they have the strength to defeat Arcann.
* TreacherousAdvisor: [[spoiler:As soon as the Outlander claims the Eternal Throne, Valkorion attempts to steal his/her body. All of the assistance and advice Valkorion offered the Outander was just a means to get a stronger body on the Eternal Throne to host his spirit.]]
* VillainRespect: Shows this to the Outlander as a result of being [[WorthyOpponent someone worthy of his respect]].
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: There's no indication that he or his regime are unpopular with the people of Zakuul. Especially surprising, considering who his alter ego is, but given Zakuul's relative isolation from the rest of the galaxy and the general unlikelihood of even Force-users having multiple bodies, this could be justified. Furthermore, his centuries of leadership of his birth world and the Sith Remnant Empire afterwards have given him all the experience he would need to rule a relatively small and obscenely wealthy government like Zakuul.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:When faced with the prospect of a true death, Valkorion is reduced to insisting that his family and the Outlander can't kill him because their lives would be meaningless without him.]]
-->'''Valkorion:''' [[spoiler:Before I graced you with my presence, you were nothing but motes of ''filth'', drowning in the chaos of the void. ''[variable note about the specified class of the Commander]'' I forged you into a being ''worthy'' of the Eternal Throne. Without me, you are ''nothing''.]]
* VisionaryVillain: Very much so, and the primary reason he considers Arcann and Vaylin unsuitable successors. To Valkorion, one of the greatest personal failings one can suffer is to have great power and ability but never see beyond personal, short-term desires and goals. None of his children ever displayed the long-term thinking and clarity of vision he most desired in an heir (even Thexan, the most stable of the three, seemed mostly driven by a desire to please his father).
* WeCanRuleTogether: Offers to give the Outlander great power if s/he kneels to him, having dubbed them worthy of his attention [[spoiler:after the events of Yavin 4 and Ziost. The Outlander has the option to accept, but Arcann intervenes]].

[[folder:Arcann]]
!!'''Arcann'''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arcann.jpg]] [[caption-width-right:300: [[labelnote: Click to see him in the light side route (spoilers)]] [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arcann_light.jpg]]]] [[/labelnote]]

-->''"Destiny is a lie."''

One of the two sons of Emperor Valkorion. At the start of the expansion, Arcann orchestrates his father's murder so he could rule himself. Arcann quickly proves himself to be a brutal tyrant.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Always seemed to come out second best to his brother Thexan, at least until their all too short final duel.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Arcann expresses a desire to achieve his goals at seemingly at any cost. In contrast Thexan is following his brother's dreams, not his own.
--> '''Thexan:''' "How much are you willing to give?"
--> '''Arcann:''' ''"Everything."''
* AntagonisticOffspring: Arcann develops a deep seeded resentment and anger toward his father for his distant and cold nature. He eventually attempts to kill his father after yet another refusal to acknowledge his achievements.
* ArtificialLimbs: Due to losing his arm in battle, he receives a new cybernetic arm in the field. Due to taking place in the middle of battle, the procedure is not pleasant.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:If the player spares Senya in Chapter I of ''Eternal Throne'', he'll show up deeply regretful of his actions and join the Alliance to try and make up for what he did. Though interestingly, he himself doesn't think he can ever make up for his past actions, but it doesn't stop him from trying.]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: [[spoiler:Takes the reins of the Eternal Empire after assassinating Valkorion, and it takes the combined might of Vitiate and the Outlander to take him down.]]
* BadassBaritone: He has an incredibly deep voice. [[spoiler: When he gets his mask removed it has a pleasanter, less raspy tone.]]
* BadassBoast: In Chapter XVI (if you pick the right conversation option):
--> [[spoiler:"I had fear beaten out of me before I could walk. I'll show you how."]]
* BadBoss: After the events of Chapter X, Arcann orders the Knights to be paired off in twos and fight to the death in the arenas. When Vaylin points out that he's cutting his forces in half, he responds that the survivors will be motivated.
* BashBrothers[=/=]SiblingTeam:
** Fought alongside his brother Thexan since they were children. Tragically their final fight together is not side by side but against one another.
** He later became a villainous SiblingTeam with his sister, Vaylin.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
** Arcann was told to remain at Zakuul, rather than join his brother in leading their campaign in the Core Worlds, but goes with him anyway. He loses his left arm, an eye and suffers severe burns to half his face.
** He desires some form of recognition from his distant and uncaring father. He gains this only after killing his own brother in a blind rage.
* BigBad: He is the main antagonist of ''Knights of the Fallen Empire.''
* CainAndAbel: He killed his own brother, Thexan, after Thexan defended their father.
* TheCaligula: He is little more than a murderous brute with too much power in his hands. Valkorion even notes that what makes Arcann dangerous is that as he was never raised to be true heir [[spoiler:since an ageless Sith Lord has no use for heirs]], he does not have the restraint and discipline needed to be a true ruler.
* DarthVaderClone: He's a cyborg Force user with a deep voice who wears a mask to disguise a disfiguring burn wound. He's introduced as the chief enforcer to an Emperor that he is plotting against, although, unlike Vader, Arcann actually succeeds in overthrowing his master. [[spoiler: And like Vader, he can be redeemed through the love of a family member.]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Manages to assassinate Valkorion, killing his physical body in the process.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Downplayed in ''Eternal Throne'' if you spared him and Senya. He believes he's beyond redemption and can only make things better. Even specific dialogue choices mention that [[RealityEnsues he will have to work to earn the Alliance's trust after all he's done]]. This is deconstructed in "The Nathema Conspiracy", as Chela Nayss, one of the potential Order of Zildrog members, was from one of the planets that Arcann ordered to be bombarded during his retaliation campaign against the Alliance, and she is not very happy about the perceived lack of justice.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: An off-hand comment confirms that he still misses his brother, five years after his death.
** EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: [[spoiler:In Chapter XVI, Senya showing that even after everything she still loves him and wants to save him, whatever she might have said to the Outlander, is apparently enough to convince him to, if not redeem himself, protect her from Vaylin and surrender himself to her care. Whether or not you kill her will lead to him either joining the Alliance or seeking vengeance]].
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has Erik Todd Dellums's deep voice and is a ruthless tyrant.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: In Chapter 14 of ''KOTFE'', it takes him a while to realize why the Mandalorians are fighting so hard against his forces on Darvannis.
-->'''Arcann:''' [The Mandalorians] have never fought like this before. As if they have a cause they truly believe in... ''(eye widens as he finally cottons on)'' The Outlander is on Darvannis! Send the fleet!
* {{Expy}}: To Darth Malak: horribly disfigured in battle, and rebuilt into a cyborg. Usurps his father like Malak did Revan, and rules with cruelty and ruthlessness.
** So here we have a golden-eyed prince, with a horribly scarred face and anger issues, obsessively chasing the biggest threat to his Empire. He spent his entire life unsuccessfully trying to impress his abusive dick of a father- a father who favored his mentally unstable sister. Now: are we talking about Prince Arcann, or [[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Prince Zuko?]] (For bonus points, on a Light Side run, he [[spoiler: even switches sides and joins the hero he was hunting, out of a desire to atone.]])
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:If the Outlander chooses to kill Senya earlier, Arcann battles the Outlander but is ultimately defeated. Arcann calmly accepts his fate once he is finally struck down.]]
* GoodCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:If Arcann joins the Alliance, he ditches his mask, making him look more human. He also switches to an all white and gold costume resembling Senya's costume.]]
* FireForgedFriends: [[spoiler: Can potentially become this with the Outlander if he joins the alliance. Especially given his pledge of UndyingLoyalty to you when he joins.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Valkorion states that envy is what really motivates him. [[spoiler: Although how much the player should believe Valkorion is up to them. He is, after all, the Galaxy's best ManipulativeBastard.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:In ''Eternal Throne'', if the player saves Senya in Chapter I, he'll show up in Chapter VI to join the Alliance]].
* IHaveNoSon: Inverted when [[spoiler:in Eternal Throne, if the player saves Senya in Chapter I, Valkorion is aghast at him agreeing to serve the Alliance. "I did not raise my son to serve." Arcann says, without even looking at him, "You have no son."]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Downplayed to the point where it might be a case of YMMV. He ultimately makes it out of ''Fallen Empire'' alive regardless of the player's efforts, but he is removed from power and forced into exile, with Senya being the only ally he has left. He can then be killed in ''Eternal Throne'' if the player killed Senya in the first chapter and enraged him in the process. If he is spared and redeemed, this is deconstructed in "The Nathema Conspiracy", as one of the people who survived his retaliatory bombardment campaign sees Arcann as this and joins the Order of Zildrog out of resentment for the Alliance.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:If you kill Senya in ''Eternal Throne'', Arcann will come for the Outlander later in a battle to the death, resulting in him being executed in live holovision.]]
* LightIsNotGood: Wears white, contrasting with his brother’s black wardrobe, though neither seems to have much good in them. As it is, it seems that Arcann was the one who fell deeper into TheDarkSide and let his anger consume him. That being said, he's far more restrained than his sister Vaylin, who also dresses darkly.
** LightIsGood: [[spoiler:If you spare Senya in ''Knights of the Eternal Throne'' he joins you and attacks your enemies with [[ShockAndAwe lightning]].]]
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: The Outlander becomes this for him if he's recruited. He devotes himself entirely to the Alliance out of fierce loyalty. It's even more pronounced if he is romanced. More than once, he tells the Outlander that he doesn't know what he would do without them.
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:It's ''Star Wars'', what did you expect? His love for his mother is ultimately the catalyst for his HeelFaceTurn, as long as the Outlander doesn't kill her in ''Eternal Throne''.]]
* MadeOfIron: About the only character who takes more punishment and survives is the Outlander. [[spoiler:In Chapter XVI, even Senya, a powerful Force-sensitive, believes him to be dead, only for him to rise up and defend her from Vaylin.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Uses the Outlander to seize control of the Eternal Empire.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He's grief-stricken when he realizes that he killed Thexan.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: At the end of Chapter 14, he realizes that he has spent too much time sitting on his throne and has, as a result, grown lax. He then asks Vaylin to summon his flagship.
* PublicExecution: [[spoiler:If the Outlander chooses to kill Senya, Arcann will return to have revenge. During Vaylin's celebration, the Outlander defeats him in battle. Holo-Droids arrive to record the scene and the Outlander broadcasts a speech to Zakuul before slaying Arcann.]]
* PlotArmor: In Chapter XVI [[spoiler:the player is given the option to kill him twice, and both times he survives.]]
* RedRightHand: His face, which is severely burned, is concealed by his shattered mask. [[spoiler: Subverted if he is redeemed. He keeps the scars but is a much better person.]]
* ScrewDestiny: His general beliefs in "destiny".
* ShockAndAwe: He sometimes uses lightning attacks in his battles.
* TheStarscream: To Emperor Valkorion. [[spoiler:He succeeds in killing him by manipulating the Outlander, and assumes the throne.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:To the Outlander, if he performs a HeelFaceTurn. He's eternally grateful to them for saving his mother, which is only exacerbated if they become his OnlyFriend.]]
* TheUnfavorite: Shades of this, as Valkorion favoured both of his siblings over him, and Senya was implied to have had a stronger bond with Vaylin.
* UnskilledButStrong: Valkorion mentions that he as well as his sister are immensely powerful and skilled, but undisciplined. Indeed, Vaylin demonstrates great talent for using the environment against her foe, while Arcann, though he's a masterful duelist and knowledgeable of many Force techniques, doesn't show any tactical or strategic acumen and never learns to mind his surroundings. [[spoiler:This is demonstrated in your first fight with him, where if he hits himself with his own Force Storm enough it will cause feedback with his cybernetic components and daze him, something a trained Sith would never let happen; his second fight, where you can trick him into unleashing a burst of electricity from nearby machinery, stunning him; and his third fight, where you turn his power against him with help from a Zakuulan Knight's shield (a standard-issue piece of equipment among his own forces, mind). In the final fight, if you killed Senya, he seems gunshy of the Outlander and is simply defeated in a straight battle.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: Their father seemed to act coldly to both of them, but favored his brother more. This seemed to have finally trigger Arcann to attack their father, causing Thexan to Force Pull him back, culminating in his brother’s death and Valkorion calling him "Son."

[[folder:Thexan]]
!!'''Thexan'''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thexan.png]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Erik Todd Dellums

-->''"I missed you, little sister."''

One of the two sons of Emperor Valkorion. He was killed by his twin brother Arcann in a fit of rage shortly before the expansion began.
----

A Gormak from Voss. In his youth, Rokuss witnessed his brothers fall to the Alliance Commander. When he saw Star Fortress above Voss as a source of disease that affected his people. When the Outlander returned to Voss, Rokuss agreed to assist them in taking down the Star Fortress orbiting his planet.

A Zabrak Sith Lord, one of the few to achieve consistent victories against the Eternal Empire, who is disgusted with the Sith's capitulation to Zakuul and joins the Alliance. Originally intended as a possible reward for the "Light vs. Dark" event, she was eventually added to the game for the United Forces event, a reward for players who completed the United Forces Group Recon [=and/or=] United Forces Warzone Recon achievements (only doable in November of 2017).

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sana_rae.png]]

* TookALevelInKindness: If the character was Imperial and play Light Side as the Outlander, they become this. Even if they were Light Side in their own class stories, at best they were an AntiVillain or NobleDemon. As the Outlander, they can choose to become more traditional heroes instead.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Dark-Side. As horrible as s/he was, in the vanilla game, the character could not kill subordinates, instead in the expansions, s/he is able to kill them without showing the slightest degree of regret.

* ReverseMole: While he serves as an attendant to Empress Vaylin, he secretly worked against her by allowing the Outlander to infiltrate her party.

* MacGyvering: Innovation: After his [[spoiler: apparent death, he is brought to the Alliance base and repaired. Unfortunately, due to being one of the most advanced droids seen and the incredible rarity of proper replacement parts, he is repaired with obviously jery-rigged fixes, and many of his original parts that could be salvaged retain scars from the blast. His memory core was completely fryed, so they had to install a fresh one, making him an AmnesiacHero.]] Not that any of this slows him down 1 bit.
* [[spoiler:MirrorMatch: While escaping from captivity in the Coil, he comes up against another HK-55 unit. Granted this unit was an exact duplicate of him before his HeroicSacrifice, thus lacked the jury-rigged repair job.]]

** She believed that Arcann, the man who is by all accounts, perfectly sane and in control of his own actions during the war,[[spoiler:such as starting a war on false charges, proclaiming the Outlander to be the one who killed Valkorian despite being the mastermind and/or a collaborator, burning down Asylum, demolishing five planets just to lure out the Alliance (and so on and so forth) to be redeemable. Yet, she refused to believe that Vaylin, a powerful force-sensitive who was tortured and abused since young, sent to a planet devoid of Force despite being such as strong Force-sensitive, is capable of being reasoned with, even when the last chapter showed that Vaylin is perfectly capable of being reasoned with, and in KotFE, is shown to be more reasonable than her older brother, speaking up for the Knights when Arcann wanted them to fight each other to the deaths.]]

* InsaneEqualsViolent: Played deadly straight. She UsedToBeASweetKid until her father locked most of her power and personality away [[spoiler:and had her [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil tortured into insanity]] by a MadScientist]], and her current AxCrazy {{Sadism}} is attributed to her ensuing mental instability.

[[folder: Indo Zal]]

[[/folder]]

* AccidentalInnuendo: InUniverse. When she declares that "No one knows [[spoiler:Valkorion]] like I do," Koth just looks at her in disgust and tells her [[TooMuchInformation to share a little less.]]

* SiblingRivalry: Averted with Arcann, and all the more surprising given their antagonistic relationship with their parents and individual... quirks. Vaylin is the only person Arcann says anything nice to in the first nine chapters of the expansion, and she supports him and his rule whole-heartedly...[[spoiler:but even then, Chapter 2 shows she doesn't entirely trust him]]. [[spoiler:In ''Eternal Throne'', the trope is played straight. Depending on whether Arcaan becomes TheAtoner or not, the rivalry is either a CainAndAbel relationship (with Vaylin as the Cain), or pure EvilVsEvil.]]
