History Characters / StarWarsTheOldRepublicFallenEmpireSpecificCharacters

* EvilHero: The Outlander is one of the greatest heroes in the galaxy who is the only one who can stop Valkorion, but can be played, to varying degrees, as a deeply immoral person, such as being a ruthless crusader who doesn't mind collateral damage, or someone who'd kill their own teammates and/or spouses over past betrayals or perceived slights or simply because it's expedient. It can get to the point that the only reason the Outlander remains ALighterShadeOfBlack compared to Valkorion is that they're not a full-on OmnicidalManiac planning to obliterate both the Empire and the Republic to oblivion.

* TheBusCameBack: In his last scene he very dramatically states that his remaining followers will meet you one by one at moments important to Fate. They do not appear for the rest of the Fallen Empire or Eternal Throne, only turning up in Forgotten World for the Machine Gods operations questline. (Though the player does receive an email from him after the end of Eternal Throne.)

* 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.]]

** 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, correctly pointing out that Valkorian's manipulations are what pushed him over the edge into becoming such a monstrous person. Yet she doesn't extend the same courtesy to Vaylin, a powerful force-sensitive who was subjected to even worse torture and abuse by being sent to a planet devoid of Force to be experimented on. In [=KotFE=], she even shows more pragmatism than Arcann by objecting to his rash idea of having the dwindling Knights of Zakuul fight each other to the death as punishment for their failures. However, her giving up on Vaylin is more justified in ''Knights of the Eternal Throne'', as she's undergone enough SanitySlippage that she can't even keep up the pretense of running a benevolent Empire, and actively shoots down every attempt to reach out to her.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Koth, while both of them defected from the Eternal Empire, the reasons for their defection was different. Koth defected because of his morals, and did not wish to kill civilians no matter which part of the galaxy they are from. Senya defected when she saw how Arcann was abusing his power and because [[ItsPersonal its personal]] for her. While Koth had always backed the decisions of the Alliance so long as innocents are kept out of the fight, Senya was shown to be reluctant to engage in certain operations in the Fallen Empire. [[spoiler:In the end, Senya chose to betray the Alliance to SaveTheVillain, whereas Koth betrayed the Alliance (if the Spire was bombed in CHX) because he can no longer trust the Commander to do what's best. If the Spire was not bombed in CHX of Fallen Empire, Koth will remain with the Alliance, whereas no matter what decision is made, Senya would still betray the Alliance at the very end of ''Fallen Empire'', or in ''Eternal Throne'', if the Commander is bent on exacting justice instead of allowing Arcann the chance for redemption.]]

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.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:If you make it clear to her that you plan to bring Arcann to justice in Chapter I of ''Eternal Throne'', she'll try to fight you and you'll kill her.]]

** 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.]])

* TheScapegoat: For the assassination of Valkorion, whether they did it or not. If the Outlander chooses to kneel to Valkorion. Arcann will kill Valkorion out of jealousy and publicly announce that the Outlander was the one who slew him. If they refuse, Arcann will attack Valkorion and distract him long enough for the Outlander to get the killing blow--but, of course, conveniently omits that fact when denouncing the Outlander for their crime.

* VillainProtagonist: If is Neutral or Dark side.

* EvilHero: The Outlander is one of the greatest heroes in the galaxy who is the only one who can stop Valkorion, but can be played, to varying degrees, as a deeply immoral person, such as being a ruthless crusader who doesn't mind collateral damage, or someone who'd kill their own teammates and/or spouses over past betrayals or perceived slights, or simply because it's expedient.

* EvilHero: The Outlander is one of the greatest heroes in the galaxy who is the only one who can stop Valkorion, but can be played as an irredeemable evil person, who is capable of killing anyone, even his/her spouses.

* CharacterDeath: Killed at the end of the Nathema Conspiracy flashpoint.

* NiceHat: He wears a cool-looking fedora.

* 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.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has blue hair.

* [[HumanPopsicle Mirialan Popsicle]]: [[spoiler:After Gault stole her money, she went into hiding via a stasis chamber in Belsavis]].
* MulticoloredHair: Black with red stripes through it. Apparently fashionable in Nar Shaddaa.

* 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.

[[caption-width-right:300:Target has achieved deadness.]]

-->''"Declaration: Meatbag defense protocols engaged."''

* 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.]]

-->'''Outlander''': "Well, you certainly came to accept the order of things more quickly than Khem Val."
-->'''Ak'ghal Usar''': "Do not insult the legacy of such a Shadow Killer. Khem Val honored Tulak Hord's victory with unwavering loyalty. Few shared his renowned."
* {{Revenge}}: His homeworld was destroyed by Exar Kun, so Ak'ghal came to Yavin IV to avenge his people. Unfortunately, by the time he reached Yavin IV, Kun had already subjected himself to AndIMustScream. Ak'ghal attempted to use the Temple of Sacrifice to restore Kun to physical form so Ak'ghal could kill him, but Vitiate sealed Ak'ghal away so he could use the Temple for himself.

->'''Voiced by:''' Keena Ferguson

* TokenHeroicOrc: Not counting player characters designed through Legacy inheritance, Chiss affiliated with the Jedi/Republic aren't a particularly common sight, let alone Chiss who are Force-sensitive. (As the Traitor Among the Chiss flashpoint explains, Chiss who are Force-sensitive are seen as impure deviants, who either must go into exile or avoid using their power.)

* 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.

* {{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.

* 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."]]
