15	The lead protagonist of ''Paranormalities''. Shortly before the [[Literature/NewJediOrder Yuuzhan Vong war]], he lost both of his parents in a "pirate" attack as he was about to be accepted into Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy. Five years later, he then comes face to face with the same group responsible for his orphaning: the Valkoran Empire. Meanwhile, the Valkoran and another group villainous group known as the Forceless Collective have taken a special interest in Zolph.
16	----
17	* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: He doesn't confess his true feelings for Dynn Manthis until her death.
18	* AnArmAndALeg: He gets his right arm cut off by Maesterus on Kratzar.
19	** In the Dark Side cave on Dagobah, he hallucinates having his prosthetic arm torn off (with the nerves connecting it being torn) by a psychotic Dynn Manthis.
20	* AntiHero: He tries to live up to the Jedi's reputation, but the actions of the Valkoran Empire and Forceless Collective have soured him to the point where he can't always live up to it.
21	* TheAntiNihilist: He seems to have become one late in Episode II. After he's defeated Stythanyx, the latter asks him why the choose to continue living. Zolph answers that he doesn't think there's a universal meaning to life and decides to create his own meaning. A nice contrast compared to the hell he went through in the wake of Dynn's death.
22	* ArtificialLimbs: After losing his right arm on Kratzar, Zolph requests a very specific prosthetic arm that not only has a strength enhancer, but also doesn't get shut down by [[{{EMP}} EMPs]]. However, it takes about six months for it be properly tested, attached, and settled.
23	* BadassLongcoat: He likes to wear a dark grey jacket out int the field most of the time.
24	* BadassTransplant: Said arm also has enhanced strength, as well as the ability to MegatonPunch.
25	* BewareTheSuperman: This trope is part of the reason why Zolph tries not to abuse his Force Channeling forms. The Silver Seraph is incredibly powerful, but he can only take on that form if he's in control of his emotions. If he's not in control and under stress (and giving into emotions that fuel the Dark Side), he turns into the Black Berserker instead, which is similarly powerful, but much more ruthless and less restrained. Zolph fears what would happen if he got drunk with power and fell to the Dark Side himself (and he's already skirted it a few times).
26	* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Pulls a heroic variant of this on Forceless Archfiend Cinydra, [[NoodleIncident whose sister he killed three months prior to encountering him]]. Justified to the fact that not only has he killed a lot of Archfiends, he didn't hear the names of all of them - Orotice being one of them - sometimes because they never talk or are never name-called to Zolph. He doesn't remember her until Cinydra brings up the planet they fought on.
27	* ButtMonkey: The galaxy (initially) only seems to remember him for freighter-flying that has become a MemeticMutation in-universe. [[WeirdnessMagnet He also runs into at least one weird thing every mission he's on]]. He is a bit of an IronButtMonkey too, as he's had several injuries over the course of the story, such as being nailed to a wall by Maesterus twice, getting eaten, shot with tranquilizers, shot in the legs, getting his right arm cut off, getting blown up by (and surviving) an anti-vehicle missile, thrown through windows, etc.
28	* CaptainCrash: The galaxy does not want to let him fly any YT-series freighter because of an incident where he lost the main body of one due to its asymmetrically-placed cockpit. Of course, he's not that bad when flying other stuff.
29	* CelibateHero: Deconstructed. He had romantic feelings Dynn Manthis, but was too shy to open up about them until she was on death's door. After Dynn's death, he becomes averse to forming romantic relationships with other characters both because he wasn't able to completely move on from Dynn's death (and haunted by hallucinations of her) and didn't want to endanger anyone else by making them someone his enemies can use against him. He also develops similar feelings for Hiriss Moraana, but refuses to act on them for the mentioned reasons, [[spoiler:plus claims of Dynn's resurrection complicating things further]].
30	* CharacterDevelopment: He starts off [[YouKilledMyFather incredibly resentful]] towards Maesterus, but he gets less angry about it in his later encounters, eventually to the point of putting that resentment aside once he realizes that vengeance is not all that great, that there are worse creatures in the galaxy than him and that Maesterus wasn't completely at fault for his parents' deaths.
31	* ChewingTheScenery: Not usually, but he's prone to outbursts if something unexpected happens or works against him.
32	* ChildSoldier: He was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, at which point he was still a teenager. This was because the Jedi were suffering many casualties during the invasion.
33	* TheChosenOne: Subverted and deconstructed. As far as he and the rest of the galaxy are concerned, he's just any other Jedi with varying levels of respect. Emperor Valkor only off-handedly mentions a prophet telling him about Zolph and is only concerned about the Vaelor bloodline on the grounds of the threat it poses to his Forceless Collective through their possession immunity [[spoiler:and Zolph's ability to feed on Forceless to fuel his Force powers to demigod-like levels]]. Additionally, the Vaelors aren't even the first Forceless-immune beings Valkor has tried to kill over the millenia. Suffice to say, Zolph wouldn't even know about this prophecy had Valkor not made a big deal out of it or know about his abilities had the Collective not tried to threaten the galaxy. And all this obsession does for Zolph is give him a lot of trouble and grief.
34	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Deconstructed early in Episode II. He's only playing hero so often as an excuse to avoid bringing up his mental health issues and stay away from the Force Sensitives who can sense his emotions.
35	* CoolStarship: He gets a modified X-Wing (and a psychotic R9-unit) in Episode II. He later names it the ''Manthis'' in honor of his (seemingly) late lover.
36	* CombatPragmatist: He's also willing to use blasters and grenades in a fight.
37	* CursedWithAwesome: He's immune to [[DemonicPossession Forceless possession]] and is capable of weaponizing any Black Matter that gets into his body. The downside is that he is at the top of the Collective's to-kill list because of it and weaponizing it has the potential to turn him insane if not properly controlled.
38	* CynicismCatalyst: Aside from his parents dying as a result of a Valkoran attack causing him to [[spoiler: initially]] resent Maesterus, the possession and death of Dynn Manthis not only [[HeroicBSOD causes him a severe amount of trauma]], but it also encourages him to prevent any more Forceless possessions, [[MercyKill kill]] those who are possessed, get the Valkoran to understand their mistakes, and defeat the Forceless Collective once and for all.
39	* DarkIsNotEvil: While Zolph's Black Berserker looks like a Forceless-possessed creature and fueled by his negative emotions (what fuels the Dark Side), his goals and motivations are still the same. He is just very aggressive in how he goes about it.
40	* DatingCatwoman: Between him and Dynn Manthis after she sides with the Valkoran. However, this is subverted with the revelation that she was actually a TheMole working for the Alliance.
41	* DeadpanSnarker: With all the strange stuff he has to deal with, he's become pretty universe-weary. Even his otherwise stoic Silver Seraph form retains some of his snark.
42	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Killing [[EldritchAbomination Forceless]] [[SealedEvilInACan Archfiends]](or preventing their summoning) is one of his jobs.
43	* DeathSeeker: His early encounters with the apparition of Dynn Manthis are a result of him being subconsciously suicidal, to the point that the hallucinations could actually kill him. Thankfully for him, he has had people who care about him bale him out of these hallucinations before they could kill him. After the Fafniros mission, he broke away from this mentality.
44	* EasilyForgiven: While Zolph partially blames himself for Dynn's death (since he provided the killing blow and paved the way for the Forceless Arm to be grafted onto her in the first place), Dynn herself as well as her cousin, Hiriss Moraana, forgive him for it, stating he did what he had to do, and that she would have preferred to die than remain a [[FateWorseThanDeath helpless]] [[AndIMustScream meat-puppet]]. Sadly, that doesn't make him feel much better about it.
45	* EyeScream: Subverted. In the cave on Dagobah, he has a hallucination about him getting his eyelids cut open by a psychotic transformed Dynn Manthis so he's forced to look at her.
46	* GoodIsNotSoft: He cut Va'Za the Hutt's stomach open with his lightsaber after he sensed he ate his slave girl, resulting in him dying from his injuries, and he was willing to let Belluzub just die in the destruction of the Death Star Forge. He was also almost willing to let Facadma be slowly killed by the living Force ripping her apart from the inside, but ultimately decides to just kill her quickly. In his Black Berserker form, he is even more brutal.
47	%%* HeartbrokenBadass: After Dynn's death.
48	* HeroicBSOD: He's had quite a few of these:
49	** Has one during Episode I -- Chapter 6, when he and Grein are forced to kill a Forceless-possessed mother and her child during the invasion of Sleheyron. Prior to this, the other possession victims they were killing were mere [[AssholeVictim gangsters]].
50	** Has another one after he is forced to kill a Forceless-possessed Dynn Manthis, and goes on a rather disturbing killing spree against the Valkoran forces on Krantisi. Once Grein lectures him on how meaningless his massacre was, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he starts crying]] not just because of what he did, but because of how much hell the Forceless Collective made his life. Grein eventually calms him down by letting him see Dynn one last time before she actually dies.
51	** Happens again early on in Episode II on Dagobah. According to his peers, [[StepfordSmiler Zolph had been accepting missions non-stop ever since the Battle of Krantisi to avoid questioning.]] Once he heads into [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack a certain cave on the planet]], he encounters an apparition of Dynn. His initial reaction is to deny the illusion, but that only provokes it into transforming into her Forceless-mutated form and violently immobilizing him, and not only is he terrified, he starts crying once it starts asking why it killed her. It may have all been an illusion, but it was real enough for him to have almost killed him. And it goes to a whole new level in "The Damaged". The hallucinations get less severe once he's gotten past his subconscious suicidal thoughts in "Resolve", but he now has some fears that the Forceless Collective could win and everyone else he knows could end up like Dynn.
52	** In Chapter 13 of Episode II, he's forced to witness the total annihilation of Christophsis on the planet's surface.
53	* HourOfPower: The transformations he takes on from Force-channeling only lasts until the Forceless symbiote he has absorbed dissipates.
54	* IdiotBall: Despite being cunning at times, he occasionally has his [[ForgotAboutHisPowers lapses]] in judgment. Lampshaded by Machinus in Episode II.
55	--> '''Machinus''': Sef. Your descendant's being an idiot again.
56	* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Subverts this with Belluzub after the latter pushed one of his BerserkButtons. Zolph catches onto his plan to make him fall to the Dark Side and refuses to strike him down in cold blood while angry. However, he knows sparing his life would be counterproductive to why he came to the Death Star Forge in the first place; instead, [[LoopholeAbuse he just locks him in a conveniently-placed force cage and leaves him to die in the impending destruction]]. Of course, he gets out later and is forced to fight him again anyway.
57	** He plays it straight right off the bat after defeating Maesterus for the first time because after what [[HeroicBSOD he experienced throughout the majority of the Krantisi campaign]], he realizes that revenge is overrated. Maesterus applauds him for this.
58	* ILetGwenStacyDie: He blames himself for Dynn's possession and subsequent death by his hands. This makes him all the more determined to keep anyone else from being possessed or MercyKill them if they are.
59	* ImprobableAge: He had already become a Jedi Knight by the age of 18. According to Chapter 5 of Episode III, this is because he and several other teenage apprentices were fast-tracked into Knighthood because of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion taking its toll on the Jedi Order. This shows through his relative immaturity and impulsiveness during Episode I. However, he also notes that he's still got some training to catch up on because of back-to-back conflicts.
60	* ItGetsEasier:
61	** The first time he killed an innocent Forceless possession host, he was shell-shocked. A few more traumatic incidents later, including with Dynn Manthis, he's shown to be less hesitant to kill Forceless hosts.
62	** This is defied by the Jedi Order as a whole once the Forceless War comes around. Zolph and many Jedi find themselves being forced to kill Forceless possession hosts [[WarIsHell a lot more often]], but they routinely go through therapeutic counseling after every battle to make sure they don't become too desensitized to killing possession victims, but still be willing to do so if necessary.
63	* LaserBlade: He carries an aqua-colored lightsaber. He can form them from nothing in Force-channeling transformations.
64	* LikeFatherLikeSon: Descendant and ancestor, more accurately. Maesterus lampshades this when he notices Zolph's second lightsaber hilt, and this is before TheReveal.
65	* MageMarksman: He also uses a blaster in conjunction with his lightsaber and Force powers.
66	* MegatonPunch: He gains the ability to do this once he gets his new arm.
67	* TheMusketeer: In addition to his lightsaber, he's known to use a blaster and explosives.
68	* MyGreatestFailure: He sees his inability to prevent Dynn's possession and her death as this.
69	* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
70	** He accidentally set the ''Conqueror'' on a collision course with Acropolis Station when he dismembered Admiral Gravlek. Both of them lampshade it, but it gets undone before any serious damage could be caused. Implied to happened plenty of times during the Vong War.
71	** If he had known what would happen to her after, he never would have cut Dynn's arm off on Tatooine. Or later, he would have cut the Forceless arm off her as soon as he saw it on Polus.
72	** Subverted when Zolph mass-{{Mercy Kill}}s the Ancient Abyss and the ''many'' slowly-digesting beings inside its stomach. [[spoiler:This causes a new Forceless symbiote to be born, which then immediately possesses Hiriss. After a brief moment of worrying that he might have to kill Hiriss, it turns out that the symbiote, Elscorsef, resonated with her, turning her into the first Jedi Forceless Herald and Elscorsef goes on to become the first heroic Forceless symbiote seen.]]
73	* OneWingedAngel: As his Forceless immunity has developed in his bloodline with every generation, his body can now convert [[SentientPhlebotinum Forceless symbiotes]] into Force energy, and use said energy to temporarily transform himself. However, [[PowerAtAPrice the transformation has some downsides]]. While the Black Berserker form is powerful, it isn't as powerful as it gets and is prone to aggression. The Silver Seraph, while requiring more emotional restraint and determination, brings Zolph to new heights.
74	* PowerStereotypeFlip: After learning to become the Silver Seraph, he still retains his rather crass behavior and habit of trash-talking his enemies in contrast to that form's angelic image.
75	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Goes on one against the Valkoran forces on Krantisi after being forced to kill a Forceless-possessed Dynn Manthis for making a mess of his life by killing both his parents and turning Dynn into a monster [[DisproportionateRetribution (when, in reality, only specific individuals in the organization were involved in both of those)]]. Grein eventually snaps him out of it.
76	* ScarsAreForever: He gets some toothmarks in his neck from Dynn's Forceless Arm biting into it. And he gets another on his neck from Mortaqa's ligthscythe after the annihilation of Christophsis.
77	* ScreamingAtSquick: His reaction to learning about Grein's job ([[BrainBleach and the clients she had to work for]]) while she was living on Sleheyron. He does it again when he combines it with the knowledge of Grein being his distant ancestor.
78	* ShootTheDog: For him, killing some of the more innocent Forceless possession victims. Justified in that [[AndIMustScream there's nothing else that can be done for them.]] Notable people he's had to shoot so far include Dynn Manthis and Mandoculus.
79	* ShutUpHannibal:
80	** In "Resolve", he gives a simple [[PrecisionFStrike "Kriff you"]] to another hallucination of Forceless Dynn Manthis and cuts her down when she shows him the possibility that the Forceless Collective could succeed in conquering the galaxy.
81	** In "Missing", a Forceless [[MookLieutenant Py'ko'ra]] tries to break Zolph and turn his allies against him by pointing out some hypocrisies in his cause, how he's killed innocent people when they were possessed, and trying to accuse him of VanHelsingHateCrimes towards Forceless as a species when he's just defending the galaxy against a conquering force. Zolph turns it against him by pointing out how that doesn't give the Collective the moral high ground.
82	-->'''Zolph:''' You’re right. It is not the Jedi way to seek to kill, and I am guilty of that on a few occasions. And I have avoided falling to the Dark Side by realizing that. But you forgot a crucial tidbit. The Jedi Code is not as shallow as no attachments, no killing, no giving into the Dark Side, etcetera. Our first and foremost principle is to be the guardians of peace and justice, [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight not meet some damn quotas and guidelines]]. Those possessed people I killed, I killed because I believed I was saving them from a fate worse than death, and I did not know how else to save them at the time. But once I discovered the limits of my abilities, I killed in defense of myself and others. Because if I let them kill me, there will be fewer people like me to protect the galaxy, even if I hate what I do to make it happen. I might not be the best guy, but I’m definitely not the bad guy.\
83	'''Py'ko'ra:''' So, you’re making it all about you now? [[SarcasmMode Very humble]].\
84	'''Zolph:''' Try to spin it all you want, but I doubt any rational-minded being would see ''us'' as the villains in this situation. Calling out our hypocrisy does not give you the moral high ground when [[HypocriteHasAPoint you have done way worse than us]]. We’re not fighting you because of some mandate on the balance of the Force; we’re fighting you because your Emperor is a tyrant that’s murdered and enslaved trillions.
85	* SingleTargetSexuality: Deconstructed. Zolph initially has romantic feelings only for Dynn Manthis. However, when Dynn dies near the end of Episode I, he has trouble moving on from her despite her telling him to do so in her last words (though this is partially due to feeling some guilt for her death). He does develop similar feelings for Hiriss Moraana, but doesn't act on them because he feels this is complicated by the fact that she is similar to Dynn (in fact, they are cousins), and it starts to feel even more awkward for him when he learns that Dynn may be BackFromTheDead. As a result, he chooses to be a CelibateHero.
86	* StepfordSmiler:
87	** He becomes one during his RoaringRampageOfRevenge. He eventually snaps out of it.
88	** Taken even further in Episode II. He's been taking missions non-stop during the TimeSkip just to distract himself from his painful memories of being forced to kill Dynn Manthis. This bites him in the ass when he goes into the cave on Dagobah.
89	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: When his BerserkButton has been [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge pushed really hard]], his brown eyes turn to this, indicating that he's slipping dangerously close to TheDarkSide. His eyes change back to their default color [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone once he realizes what he's doing]].
90	* TraumaCongaLine: The amount of suffering he goes through from his early-to-late teens is staggering. First, he loses both of his parents in a Valkoran pirate attack. Once the Valkoran War begins, his longtime friend Dynn Manthis goes MIA and learns one month later that she made a FaceHeelTurn. More than six months later, Dynn gets possessed by a Forceless symbiote and Zolph is forced to kill her, leaving him traumatized for another six months, and almost getting killed by Force-based hallucinations of her due to his self-loathing. Then at the Battle of Christophsis, Emperor Valkor physically tortures him by squeezing on his heart - hospitalizing him for one month - and leaves Zolph helpless to witness him ordering Mortaqa to kill everyone on the planet except for him and the Valkoran forces.
91	* UnevenHybrid: Since Grein is his distant ancestor, he's part Chiss. However, the Chiss genes have thinned out over time, resulting in him passing for a pure human.
92	* WeirdnessMagnet: Even by Star Wars standards, he's not dealing with anything remotely normal. In the five years between the prologue and first chapter of Episode I, he's had to deal with [[Literature/NewJediOrder masochistic, dogmatic aliens with organic technology]]. After that, he runs into an undying soldier, a Force sensitive (and villainous possible Light-Sider) man that can shoot spikes out of his palms (and grows wings later), an eccentric mercenary in touch with the fourth wall, and an army of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s among other things.
93	* WhatTheHellHero:
94	** Luke calls him out for killing Va'Za the Hutt. However, Zolph didn't expect him to actually die before getting to a hospital, and [[JustifiedTrope he had recently swallowed a slave girl alive when he cut the glutton open.]]
95	** Maesterus calls Zolph out on killing his men when they aren't even trying to kill him.
96	** Belluzub also tries to call him out when he kills his larvae. Of course, [[{{Hypocrite}} he's not very convincing since he ordered his children to attack him anyway and that he views them as expendable]]. He tries to call him out again when he traps him in a force cage (to let him be destroyed in the space station's destruction) after refusing to strike him down in anger.
97	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: If he's feeling any strong emotions or doubts (especially those that fuel the Dark Side) when he's Force-channeling, that emotion will dominate his psyche while transformed, turning him into a psychotic KnightTemplar obsessed with killing all Forceless or anyone who has wronged him. [[SubvertedTrope However]], the more times he uses it, the more control he gains, and learns to willingly use it to cleanse Forceless-possession victims of Black Matter, and by the time he fights a OneWingedAngel Valkor on Ockla Prime, he's more confident in his control of it and kills Valkor's avatar. At the Battle of Blenjeel, it's shown that he still cannot use this power so casually, as he can still turn into the Black Berserker if he Force-channels while scared or angry (or as he worries, while going on a power-trip).
98	* YouKilledMyFather: His initial attitude towards Maesterus. He eventually gets over it once he realizes it's not entirely Maesterus's fault, that revenge is overrated, and there are worse beings than him. As such, this attitude shifts to Valkor instead.

106	Hero of the Galactic Civil War (and the original ''Franchise/StarWars'' trilogy), he is now the Grand Master of the New Jedi Order, now stationed on Ossus after the loss of the Massassi Temple on Yavin IV.
107	----
108	* ArtificialLimbs: Has a cybernetic right hand, [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack lost during his first duel with Darth Vader]].
109	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He didn't show it that well the first time he fought Maesterus, but [[CurbStompBattle he easily bested him]] once he figured him out (only minutes after the first fight, and while missing his right hand).
110	* BadassTeacher: He's the headmaster of the Jedi academy and one of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy at the time. Do we need to say more?
111	* CoolOldGuy: Well, he's almost 50, and he's the headmaster of the Jedi academy.
112	* DemotedToExtra: Given that this story is mostly OC driven and he doesn't get much in-story action, he still gets more story-time than other established canon characters, and is usually Zolph's MissionControl.
113	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: According to "The Return", it's suggested he killed one or two Forceless Archfiends sometime [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome outside the main story]]. During the epilogue of Episode II, he's able to hold down Emperor Valkor's avatar after he's become a Forceless colossus.
114	* HandicappedBadass: He can be just as dangerous while missing his prosthetic hand. Maesterus learned this the hard way.
115	* LaserBlade: His lightsaber.
116	* MissionControl: Due to ''Paranormalities'' being an OC-dominant story, he usually plays this role to Zolph. However, he does get his moments to shine.
117	* PapaWolf: He is this to his students as seen in Episode I - Chapter 3.
118	* TheWorfEffect: Zigzagged in Episode I - Chapter 2. Maesterus cuts his prosthetic hand off and almost kills him in their initial duel, but then [[BigDamnHeroes when Maesterus's about to capture Zolph]], [[CurbStompBattle he sends Maesterus flying out the Academy walls]] [[HandicappedBadass while still missing his hand]].

125	!!!'''Species:''' Chiss (purple-eyed)
126	!!!'''Homeworld:''' Sleheyron (born on Csilla)
127
128	A Force-sensitive purple-eyed Chiss that Zolph meets on Sleheyron, she knows a lot about the Forceless Collective. She acts as Zolph's second mentor and MissionControl at some points.
129	----
130	* ActionGirl: One of the most prominent throughout the story.
131	* AntiHero: She can come off as somewhat cynical and makes a [[GuileHero few questionable decisions]], but is ultimately a good person.
132	* BigDamnHeroes: She's prone to bailing Zolph out of trouble when things go wrong for him.
133	* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: She has chosen to [[WhoWantsToLiveForever cheat death for roughly four-thousand years]] solely to make sure Emilin is freed from the [[FateWorseThanDeath Forceless]] [[AndIMustScream possession]], one way or [[MercyKill another]].
134	* BigEater: According to Zolph, Grein is known for consuming rather large meals because Chiss have much higher metabolism than humans.
135	* BodyHorror: Her Force liquefaction may seem awesome, but if you don't master it properly, you can either end up breaking apart your own limbs or [[AndIMustScream be stuck as water puddle for the rest of your life]].
136	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Blue-skinned in her case, as she's a Chiss.
137	* CoolStarship: The ''Blazing Manta'', a Corellian YT-3300 freighter.
138	* CynicismCatalyst: Her little sister, Emilin, was possessed by the Forceless Archfiend, Facadma. This is one of the reasons she's determined to take them down and doesn't hesitate to kill anyone who's been possessed by the Collective.
139	%%* DeadpanSnarker
140	* DefectorFromDecadence: She used to work with the Valkoran Empire until her sister was possessed by the Collective.
141	* TheGadfly: Surprisingly for her, she acts like this when it comes to Zolph's flying accident.
142	* HealingFactor: She can use her Force Liquefaction to reform body parts or cleanse herself of diseases. Of course, she has to reassimilate the lost body parts or some more water since it's part of her body mass.
143	* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: [[LaserBlade Lightsabers]] are already this, but hers has a laser cross-guard.
144	* ItGetsEasier: Given that she's had experience with Forceless possession already, she's learned to cope with killing possession hosts long before the events of the story. It's gotten to the point where she's come to accept that she must kill her own sister to spare her further suffering.
145	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
146	** Aside from her SinkOrSwimMentor status, she's more focused on escaping from Sleheyron with Zolph when the Forceless Collective invades the planet than helping evacuate the population, but only because she knows they can't save everyone. However, she did warn everyone at the Flying Lamp Cantina to evacuate ahead of time when the Collective's scouts showed up there to kill Zolph, and she and Zolph save as many people as they can while fleeing.
147	** She also warns Zolph of the dangers of emotional attachments. When Zolph goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge after being forced to fatally wound Dynn Manthis, she promises Dynn to bring him back to his senses and lets him see her one last time before she dies.
148	* KnightInSourArmor: Her experiences with the Forceless Collective and her time with the Valkoran Empire have made her see the worst the universe has to offer, but she refuses to succumb to the worst.
149	* LastOfHisKind: She and Emilin are among the only known purple-eyed Chiss left in the galaxy since the red-eyed Chiss wiped the rest of them out in a race purge.
150	* LukeIAmYourFather: She was married to Seferin Vaelor (AKA Maesterus), so that makes her Zolph's distant grandmother.
151	* MakingASplash: She can liquefy herself or individual parts of her body through a never-before-seen Force power. Turns out this power originated from a galaxy Valkor conquered.
152	** AnIcePerson: She can also freeze these liquefied body parts.
153	* MamaBear: After she's revealed to be Zolph's distant grandmother, her protective behavior towards him is easily interpreted as this.
154	* MonochromaticEyes: Like most Chiss, her eyes have no pupils. What makes her particularly distinct is that her eyes are purple instead of red.
155	* NotSoStoic: When she starts to display actual emotions, you know something's up. When Masochus tried to taunt her over [[spoiler: [[AndIMustScream the fate of her sister]] and claiming that she's given up hope of salvation]], she snapped and attempted to boil him alive.
156	* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks like she's in her mid-20's. She's actually 41. Justified in that [[WizardsLiveLonger Force Sensitives don't age as fast]] and Chiss as a species tend to be in good shape. Lampshaded by Zolph and Dynn. And that's not counting her actual [[Really700YearsOld chronological age]].
157	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Usually played for laughs when she makes a ShipTease on Zolph and Dynn. Otherwise, if she breaks from her usual stoicism, you know something is wrong.
158	* ScarfOfAsskicking: Her character art usually shows her with a green scarf.
159	* ShipperOnDeck: In Episode I - Chapter 8, she, [[TheStoic of all people]], does this to Zolph and [[DarkActionGirl Dynn]] once she learns of their previous history.
160	* ShootTheDog: Killing some of the more innocent Forceless possession victims. Justified in that [[AndIMustScream there isn't really anything else she can do for them]] and Zolph doesn't learn to use his Force-channeling powers to save others from possession until near the end of Episode II ([[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity and using that power itself is risky enough for him]]).
161	* ShoutOut: Even through cross-guarded lightsabers existed before ''Paranormalities'' and ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', her saber is specifically inspired by [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes Henry Cooldown's]].
162	* SinkOrSwimMentor: She usually lets Zolph handle stuff on his own, as she doesn't want him to be too dependent on her, especially when it comes to Archfiends. She will step in if Zolph really does need help.
163	* StealthMentor: She deliberately let Hydrojus [[PeoplePuppets puppeteer]] her to test Zolph's resolve for taking down possessed allies. He managed to TakeAThirdOption though.
164	* TrainingFromHell: She didn't learn her Force liquefaction willingly. Valkor forced her to learn it and in doing so, [[AndIMustScream she was stuck as an immobile water puddle for two weeks]] before she learned how to reform herself. This is also why she's unwilling to teach Zolph the same ability.
165	* TraumaCongaLine: She's experienced several lifetimes' worth of pain. First, she was subject to racial persecution within her own species and her father was executed because of said persecution, forcing her family and the rest of the purple-eyed Chiss to flee the Ascendancy. After that, she was exiled from the Jedi Order for [[LoveMakesYouEvil falling in love with another Jedi]], learned that the new Emperor she was serving under intended to conquer the galaxy and possess everyone in it, her sister was possessed by an Archfiend, and she's forced to flee from the Valkoran Empire while pregnant, not seeing her husband again for thousands of years. During the four-thousand years before the story, she's haunted by being unable to save her sister and has to endure knowing that [[OutlivingOnesOffspring she will outlive her son and her grandchildren]] just because she wants to ensure the Forceless Collective's defeat. By the time of the Valkoran War, she's become very cynical, seeing no perceivable hope for Forceless-possession victims besides death. When the Forceless Collective invades Sleheyron, she knows she and Zolph won't be able to save everyone on the planet. When her sister is finally brought out as a weapon of mass destruction (that kill her with little effort if she got close), she's only able to put Emilin out of her misery through a proxy, and when she's finally close to having a heartfelt reunion with her husband, he is killed right in front of her.
166	* WhatTheHellHero: After escaping from Sleheyron, Zolph calls her out for giving her knowledge about [[EldritchAbomination Terraris's]] location to Girdretto, who then gave it to Va'Za the Hutt, just so she could find a candidate for taking out the Forceless Collective. In the process, this led to an increased crime rate on Tatooine for time, [[WretchedHive even by the world's usual standards]].
167	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Two of her major regrets about trying to prolong her life were not getting to see her other descendants grow up and outliving her generation.
168	* WouldntHurtAChild: Subverted. She normally wouldn't, but if the child is a [[DemonicPossession Forceless possession]] [[AndIMustScream host]], [[MercyKill there isn't really anything else she can do for them]].

174	!!!'''Model:''' R9-Series Astromech Droid
175	!!!'''Manufacturer:''' Industrial Automata
176
177	Zolph Vaelor's personal astromech droid for his modified X-Wing introduced in Episode II. She's unusually sadistic for an astromech droid.
178	----
179
180	* ActionGirl: Usually Zolph's co-pilot for his X-Wing, but she can still do a lot of damage with or without him. She can even be dangerous without a starfighter to control.
181	* AffablyEvil: She's very cheerful and fun-loving, but her ideas of fun also includes killing people in creatively sadistic ways.
182	* AxCrazy: Out of Zolph's allies, she's one of the most unhinged.
183	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Being a droid that was commissioned by Girdretto (and being finished after his death), she is only a year old by the time Episode II roles around.
184	* BadassAdorable: If you can get past the [[CuteAndPsycho psychopathy]].
185	* BeatStillMyHeart: Her character art shows her holding a torn-out human heart.
186	* BloodKnight: She has more in common with an assassin droid than an astromech.
187	* ClingyJealousGirl: She seems to have this attitude in regards to Zolph's interactions with Hiriss.
188	* CuteAndPsycho: She's an astromech droid, which tend to be CuteMachines. She also takes glee in murdering Valkoran troopers in horrible but [[ComedicSociopathy hilarious]] ways.
189	* EvenEvilHasStandards: She is completely horrified when she witnesses everyone on Christophsis - save for Zolph, Grein and the Valkoran forces - die to the point that she refuses to bring a [[CreepySouvenir trophy]] like she normally would.
190	* EvilLaugh: She's capable of making a high-pitched one out of his beeps.
191	* TheGadfly: Tends to tease Zolph for his IdiotHero moments. She also teases both him and Hiriss Moraana when they are cramped inside the fighter, pretending that she's going to activate the ejection seat on her own whim.
192	* HeroicComedicSociopath:
193	** Somehow, she can make ripping someone's spine out and bludgeoning them with it funny.
194	** She also pretended she was going to eject both Zolph and Hiriss (when the latter was sitting in the former's lap) out of the fighter mid-flight.
195	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Outside of combat situations, when she's involved in conversations with people she hasn't met before, she tends to label them with derogatory descriptions of their appearance that could be considered racist, such as "[[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Green-skinned lady]]" for Hiriss Moraana (a human-Mirialan hybrid), "[[OldSoldier Shriveled]] [[CoolMask Masked]] [[FourStarBadass General]]" for General Ven Choi (a Kel Dor), and "[[TheBigGuy Hulking]], [[BlindfoldedVision blind-folded]], [[WalkingShirtlessScene half-naked]] man" for Juganak (a ripped, dark-skinned Miraluka).
196	* KillerRabbit: You don't expect astro-droids to be that dangerous or sadistic.
197	* KillItWithFire: She's armed with a flamethrower. Zolph didn't know about it until the Battle of Mt. Yoda.
198	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Despite her BloodKnight tendencies, even she knows that she's no match for a freakishly strong Force user. Naturally, she decides to just let Zolph handle [[ScaryBlackMan Juganak]] himself.
199	* MookHorrorShow: She's known for orchestrating these from time to time. Even Separatist [[EliteMooks Commando Droids]] will beg for mercy when attacked by her. Played for laughs.
200	* PintSizedPowerhouse: Outside the astromech socket, she's capable of tearing a man's spine out [[ArtisticLicenseBiology (somehow without killing them)]] and beating him to death with it.
201	* PsychopathicManchild: A heroic variant. She just wants to have fun, but some of her ideas of fun include blowing things up, lighting people on fire and tearing their spinal cords out. This is also subverted in that while [[TheBabyOfTheBunch she is literally one year old]], droids are generally expected to behave like adults as soon as they come off the assembly line.
202	* RoboSpeak: Droid Speak + Faux Mathematical Equations = R9-C4's speech pattern.
203	* RobotBuddy: She's not the type you would expect a Jedi to be having around.
204	* RoboticPsychopath: She was originally built as a criminal sabotage droid for Girdretto, and she has developed a psychotic personality comparable to assassin droids. Zolph bought her after Girdretto kicked the bucket.
205	* SamusIsAGirl: Revealed early in Chapter 2 of Episode II. However, it took Zolph [[EpicFail three months]] to figure this out.
206	* SiliconSnarker: Through all those translated beeps, she's a very snippy droid.
207	* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: Astromech droids like her were designed to be astrological navigators, maintenance units, and computer interface units, yet Seefor is for some reason equipped with a flamethrower, is strong enough to puncture through battle armor (unless Valkoran trooper armor is [[ArmorIsUseless about as effective as Stormtrooper armor]]), and can massacre a squad of trained soldiers. This is justified by her originally being modified for a crime lord.
208	* TokenEvilTeammate: However, she won't kill anyone that's on her side.
209	* {{Tsundere}}: She's very snarky towards Zolph and everyone else in general, but loyal nonetheless.
210	* ViewerGenderConfusion: Invoked, even though droids are technically sexless. Her color scheme consists of black and blue, but she has feminine programming. Most would assume she has masculine programming at first glance. She also kept quiet about this for three months [[TheGadfly to mess with Zolph]].
211	* VitriolicBestBuds: With both Zolph and Hiriss due to her psychotic nature.

217	!!!'''Species:''' Human-Mirialan hybrid
218	!!!'''Homeworld:''' Coruscant
219
220	A red-haired half-human half-Mirialan Jedi that has been at the Academy on Ossus longer than Zolph. She is Dynn Manthis's cousin.
221	----
222	* AcePilot: Averted, as unlike her cousin, she's not as much of a skilled fighter pilot and piloting skills are mostly limited to transportation. She trains up on her skills before the Battle of Ockla Prime, and it pays off.
223	* ActionFashionista: Episode III slightly retools her into one, giving her a variety of different outfits and hairstyles, which is explicitly stated to be a hobby of hers. And she's just as capable a Jedi as ever. However, she will drop whatever look she planned mid-maintenance if called in an emergency and default to her classic outfit.
224	* ActionGirl: Along with Grein, she sees a lot of action with Zolph.
225	* BadassAdorable: She's a Jedi that frequently deals with the same types of threats that Zolph and Grein deal with, but is usually more cheerful than them. This is further played up in Episode III, where she is made an ActionFashionista [[spoiler:and becomes the first Jedi Forceless Herald]].
226	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Played with in Chapter 4 of Episode III. During her fight with Cordycia inside the [[WombLevel Ancient Abyss]], aside from already getting mud on her dress beforehand and getting grimy from being inside a giant Sarlacc, she gets some ClothingDamage, mild stomach acid burns and some cuts on her face, and gets a bit of her hair melted off. However, she and Zolph ultimately come out of the Sarlacc a lot better off than Boba Fett did, as Zolph uses the Silver Seraph's miraculous healing abilities to undo any skin damage. Despite being an ActionFashionista, Hiriss expects this trope to constantly be averted and accepts it as part of her role as a Jedi, and the end of that chapter has her commenting that she and Zolph need to take showers.
227	* BigEater: [[spoiler:After resonating with Elscorsef, she has to consume larger amounts of food due to sharing a stomach with Elsie during symbiosis. Zolph compares her to Grein (who comes from a species with a naturally high metabolism) when he notices that she's eating more than before.]]
228	* CasualDangerDialogue: Has a bit of this with Zolph when they encounter Fafniros, all the more amusing considering she's bearing witness to [[WeirdnessMagnet what Zolph's job usually entails]] for the first time.
229	* CuteLittleFangs: [[spoiler:Invoked. After resonating with Elscorsef, she decides to keep a pair of fangs she gained from Elsie mutating her even when she's not in symbiosis precisely because she thought they were cute. Although, she notes that she has to [[DeconstructedTrope be mindful about not accidentally biting her lip]].]]
230	* DeadpanSnarker: Shows signs of this during the Battle of Kashyyyk.
231	* DoubleWeapon: She is armed with a double-bladed [[LaserBlade lightsaber]], much like her cousin Dynn was.
232	* FacialMarkings: She has a few Mirialan tattoos, but not as many as they usually do due to very little connections with their culture. She's stated to have gained a few more in Episode III, and artwork shows that she some of these markings on her shoulders and hands too.
233	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: A literal one since she's half-Mirialan.
234	* HalfHumanHybrid: Half-Human, half-Mirialan specifically, but since Mirialans look just like humans aside from pigmentation, she's initially assumed by Zolph to be a pure Mirialan.
235	* ImprobableAge: Like Zolph, she was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight at a fairly young age around the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. This is because she was fast-tracked in response to the Order's increasing casualties.
236	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: She gets incredibly excited when she learns that Leia Organa is on Blenjeel.
237	* MamaBear: Threatening [[spoiler:Elscorsef]] is a good way to get on her bad side.
238	* MercyKill: Does this to Shiera Hond after she was [[BodyHorror horribly mutated]] by Gestroma.
239	* MyGreatestFailure: According to "Lab Rat", she laments preventing the soldiers under her command from being captured by Gestroma during the Battle of Metalorn, which hits even harder when she learns [[BodyHorror what Gestroma did to them afterward]]. "Deranged" also reveals she laments not being able to save Dynn and learning too late what happened to her.
240	* NeverBareheaded: Of all the designs that have been shown for her and when Episode III showed her with different hairstyles, Hiriss is rarely seen without her gray headband with a gold buckle. When she isn't wearing that headband (usually due to her current hairstyle being incompatible or awkward with it), she's usually wearing another accessory, such as a metallic headpiece for an easier version of the [[OdangoHair "Leia buns"]], a leather face-framing headband, or hair curlers during maintenance.
241	* NonHumanNonBinary: It is revealed in Episode III that she is an intersex woman. Downplayed in that aside from being a HalfHumanHybrid, Mirialans are a species that are often depicted with binary genders.
242	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: An early RunningGag with her is that she has a habit of eavesdropping on Zolph's conversations she usually isn't involved in. During the Battle of Onderon, [[ItMakesSenseInContext she jumps in Zolph's lap while he's sitting in his one-man fighter and they're escaping from a doomed battleship]].
243	* OnlySaneWoman: Compared to [[DeathSeeker Zolph]], [[WhoWantsToLiveForever Grein]] and [[RoboticPsychopath Seefor]], Hiriss is the most well-adjusted of the main hero team in Episode II. She still has her own regrets such as her soldiers getting kidnapped and experimented on by Gestroma and laments being unable to prevent Dynn's death, but she isn't haunted by her failures to the same extremes as Zolph and Grein. She's also the only one who hasn't tried to kill someone in a murderous rage (or for fun in Seefor's case).
244	* PowerStereotypeFlip: [[spoiler:After she becomes Elscorsef's Herald. In contrast to her now having a LovecraftianSuperpower (and sprouting random body parts), she remains an ActionFashionista.]]
245	* ReplacementGoldfish: She calls Zolph out on mentally substituting her for her cousin, Dynn, and tells him to stop.
246	* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: These traits serve as an early hint that she's Dynn Manthis's cousin despite being a different species (or half a different species).
247	* SupernaturallyValidatedTransPerson: [[spoiler:According to Escorsef's profile, Forceless origin symbiotes base their genders on their Herald's after resonating with them, solidly confirming that Hiriss is a woman despite being born intersex.]]
248	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Dynn Manthis before joining the Valkoran. Invoked as she's actually Dynn's cousin. This is also deconstructed as she chastises Zolph when he's mentally using her [[ReplacementGoldfish to fill the void that Dynn left after she died]], and she tells him to stop substituting her. This allows her to become her own character distinct from Dynn, especially when it's revealed that Dynn is BackFromTheDead.
249	* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Aside from being half-Mirialan, Zolph initially mistakes her for Dynn Manthis (partially due to PTSD). Turns out they are cousins.
250	* UnkemptBeauty: Downplayed. Hiriss is usually an ActionFashionista, but Zolph and Neur think she's still fairly attractive even when she isn't trying to look her best or during beauty maintenance.

257	!!!'''Species:''' Forceless Symbiote
258	!!!'''Homeworld:''' Felucia
259
260	In the aftermath of Zolph killing the Ancient Abyss on Felucia, a Forceless symbiote was born as a result of many of the Sarlacc's victims dying simultaneously. This symbiote then chose Hiriss Moraana as her Herald.
261	----
262	* AdorableAbomination: She has the same unusual traits and unsettling origins as all other Forceless, but she is not only designed to be less scary than the Forceless from Valkor's Collective (or other antagonistic collectives such as Gestroma's and Lord Azath's), she acts like a puppy.
263	* AffectionateNickname: Hiriss also calls her "Elsie" for short.
264	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She is born during the events of Episode III, making her the youngest character among the major characters, being even younger than [=R9-C4=] and having an even more childlike personality (whereas Seefor is childlike in [[PsychopathicManchild a different way]]).
265	* BenevolentAbomination: Again, she ''is'' a Forceless symbiote and has all of their unsettling traits and origins, but she is firmly on the heroes' side.
266	* BlueAndOrangeMorality:
267	** Through Elscorsef, it is revealed that, when they aren't seeking to dominate others, Forceless are driven to possess other living creatures because they are attracted to those beings' Force-connection, as Forceless feel incomplete without that connection. As Elscorsef had only just been born when she resonated with Hiriss, she did not understand how invasive this is to other living beings until after she read Hiriss's mind.
268	** Due to essentially being an infant, Elsie has a habit of trying to eat creatures smaller than her just because they're meat during the first few days of her life, including creatures [[SapientEatSapient that are sapient]]. When she tries to snack on a [[FantasticVermin Tinrat]] on Aut Matok, she spits it out not just because Hiriss scolded her, but because she found the [[MechanicalLifeforms Tinrat]] inedible.
269	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Whereas Valkor's (and Lord Azath's) Forceless have [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]], Elscorsef's eyes are blue. Supplementary material reveals that a Forceless's eye color is based on their Herald's Force alignment, with red eyes being indicative of a Dark Side alignment, and blue apparently indicative of the Light Side.
270	* CuteLittleFangs: In contrast to the Collective Forceless usually having ScaryTeeth, Elsie is usually drawn with small fangs when drawn with a mouth.
271	* DarkIsNotEvil: She is [[OminousObsidianOoze a dark, slime creature]] similar to Valkor's Forceless and has a wide variety of {{Lovecraftian Superpower}}s, but unlike them, is not willfully malicious.
272	* HeadPet: The first few scenes of Episode III: Chapter 5 shows her riding in Hiriss's hair while it's in curlers (as in she's riding inside the curlers). Hiriss doesn't mind, as not only is Elsie incredibly light, she also understands that Elsie is [[ReallyWasBornYesterday only a few days old]] and it would make sense for her to be drawn to small, brightly-colored objects.
273	* NoBiologicalSex: Forceless symbiotes don't have sexes, but their genders will often match their Herald's upon resonation. In Elscorsef's case, she is referred to with feminine pronouns.
274	* ReallyWasBornYesterday: She is born ''during'' Episode III, and as such, she's incredibly inquisitive, and doesn't quite understand what's wrong with possessing other beings until she chooses Hiriss as her Herald barely a minute after birth.
275	* ShapeshifterBaggage: This is a given for Forceless symbiotes in general, but Hiriss notes that Elsie is a lot lighter than she looks, and she'd have to be if she can crawl into Hiriss's bloodstream without weighing her down.
276	* SignificantAnagram: "Elscorsef" is an anagram of "Forceless".
277	* SuperEmpowering: As Hiriss's symbiote, she is able to give Hiriss some {{Lovecraftian Superpower}}s when inhabiting her body, such as temporarily sprouting a pair of wings, to combining with Hiriss' pre-existing Force abilities.
278	* TokenHeroicOrc: Thanks to having a Jedi as her Herald, she is the first Forceless symbiote seen to be unambiguously heroic from the start.

288
289	An Alliance general and former Jedi apprentice who has worked with Zolph Vaelor in a few campaigns involving the Forceless Archfiends.
290	----
291	* BadassNormal: Subverted. He is a Jedi from the old Order, but he barely got any training done (and didn't get to build a lightsaber) when the Jedi Purge started. His powers are merely limited to sensing and military planning. He can still put up a fight though and has athletic capabilities on par with a Jedi.
292	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: He takes a CyanidePill before Valkor can eat him. Understandable considering that those eaten by Valkor [[spoiler: or Forceless in general]] [[AndIMustScream don't become one with the Force]].
293	* CoolMask: Typical of the Kel Dor species, as his breathes a helium-nitrogen mix. Valkor uses this against him when he tears it off.
294	* TheEmpath: He can tell when his allies are emotionally troubled. Notable when Zolph figures out that Dynn is on Polus and when his men are traumatized by their encounter with Hydrojus.
295	* {{Expy}}: Basically an under-trained [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Plo Koon]].
296	* AFatherToHisMen: After the death of [[EldritchAbomination Hydrojus]], he orders (even if they're desperate to end the Archfiends once and for all) the rest of his men that came with Zolph and Grein take a one-month leave after some of them were shaken up witnessing the [[CruelAndUnusualDeath gruesome death]] of one of their comrades by the Archfiend [[BodyHorror making his insides cave in on him]]. He does not want his troops scared out of their wits. He also takes Valkor on one on one when he starts torturing Zolph, even though this is the last thing he ever does.
297	* FourStarBadass: Not only is he a decorated tactician, he was able to briefly go toe-to-toe with Valkor.
298	* MageMarksman: Downplayed with more emphasis on blaster use. He's a former Jedi trainee, but he was barely trained when Order 66 hit. As such, the Force powers he does display are rudimentary by Jedi standards, such as enhanced senses, reflexes, and precognition.
299	* MissionControl: He serves as an out-in-the-field example to Zolph when Luke's not around.
300	* TheMusketeer: He wields both a blaster pistol and a vibrosword.
301	* NoBiochemicalBarriers: Averted and exploited against him. Kel Dor breathe a helium-nitrogen mix and oxygen is toxic to them, forcing him to rely on a breathing mask. Valkor takes advantage of this by simply ripping his mask off.
302	* OldSoldier: He was once a veteran of the Galactic Civil War and now a strategist.
303	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The well-being of those serving under him are just as important to him as his objectives.
304	* SacrificialLion: His death serves to enforce that Emperor Valkor is done playing around with Zolph.

315	* AFatherToHisMen: During the space battle over Blenjeel, he requests Zolph destroy the Forceless-possessed torpedo frigates not only to eliminate a strategic threat, but to [[MercyKill spare his men the horror of being turned against their allies]].
316	* FishPeople: He's a Mon Calamari, so it comes with the territory.
317	* FourStarBadass: He's participated in many battles throughout the Valkoran War, and even survived the arrival of the Forceless Collective at the end of the war.

329	* RankUp: He was promoted from Colonel to General after the Battle of Ockla Prime.
330	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: His reaction to learning that Zolph has given [[RoboticPsychopath Seefor]] full control of his fighter in space over Taris is "We're all going to die." Zolph has to assure him she's going to more harm to the Valkoran than to the Alliance.

340	----
341
342	* HeKnowsTooMuch: Maesterus's pretense for sending bounty hunters after him. In reality, he captured Menbar to use as bait to lure Zolph into a trap.
343	* HumanPopsicle: Or Sullustan in this case. Gahmah Raan froze him in carbonite on Muunilinst to be transported to Kratzar.
344	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Gets his memories of his intel on the Valkoran wiped clean by Doctor Thilid after being interrogated.
345	* LiveActionEscortMission: He becomes the subject of one for Zolph on Muunilinst. Zolph lampshades the common pet peeves with the [[EscortMission video game version]] of this trope when he instructs Mun to not do anything stupid. He avoids [[TheMillstone the]] [[TooDumbToLive problems]] with this trope by staying out of Zolph's way in combat.
346	* ProperlyParanoid: He knew he would be hunted down as soon as he got the intel he needed, and requested protection.
347	* TooDumbToLive: Defied. He's not only a military scout and has some degree of combat training, he knows not to get in Zolph's way when he's fighting the other bounty hunters.

355	A racially diverse elite squad of Alliance commandos serving under General Ven Choi. They aided Zolph in the infiltration of the Valkoran warship, ''Doomsayer'' before assisting in later missions. Members include [[TheLeader Xadisall Varessi]], [[TheBigGuy Bad Kitty]], [[TheEngineer Boltz]], [[CombatMedic Patcher]], and [[ColdSniper Spectre]].
356	----
357	* BadassBookworm: Both Patcher and Boltz, the latter especially due to his status as a Gand Findsman. Boltz was even able to kill a Valkoran [[HeavilyArmoredMook Exo-trooper]] by sneakily rigging his suit to explode.
358	* BadassNormal: All of them except for Boltz, who as a Gand Findsman is mildly Force-sensitive. Xad was notably able to kill a Valkoran Force acolyte single-handed.
359	* TheBigGuy: Bad Kitty. He is the squad's heavy weapons specialist and is rather large.
360	* BloodKnight: Bad Kitty is known to get caught in the thrill of battle.
361	* CatFolk: Bad Kitty is a Cathar.
362	* ColdSniper: Spectre is the squad's quiet and aloof stealth specialist and markswoman.
363	* CombatClairvoyance: As a Gand Findsman, Boltz is able to see the future a few seconds in advance. This is also one of the few ways to combat the Forceless Collective's [[StealthyMook Crustythe assassins]], who are notoriously undetectable even through the Force.
364	* CombatMedic: Patcher is the squad's medic, but he's no slouch in combat either. This is also deconstructed, as his character bio states that him being forced to kill people when he's been trained to help them as turned him into a StepfordSmiler.
365	* DeadpanSnarker: Xad, Bad Kitty and Spectre are among the sharper-tongued members of the squad.
366	* DisneyDeath: PlayedForLaughs in Boltz's case in that Zolph is the only one that thinks Boltz needs medical attention since he lost his respirator mask (anything that isn't ammonia is hazardous to [[ExtremophileLifeforms Gand]] lungs). Boltz is actually a lungless Gand and does not need to breathe in the first place.
367	* DoNotCallMePaul: Bad Kitty does not like to be called by his real name, Banir Keeti.
368	* DumbassHasAPoint: He's [[DownplayedTrope more brash than stupid]], but Bad Kitty is correct in his assessment during the Aut Matok mission that everyone has to keep their prejudices in check now that one of their new allies [[spoiler:is an infant [[TokenHeroicOrc Forceless Symbiote]] and not mistake her for an enemy symbiote]].
369	* ElectronicEye: Spectre has a cybernetic eye replacing her left one, which she lost to a Thud Bug during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
370	* TheEngineer: Boltz is the squad's technician.
371	* FacialMarkings: Xadisall has these, since he is a Mirialan.
372	* FishPeople: Patcher is a Nautolan.
373	* FluffyTheTerrible: Bad Kitty is a rather deceptive name for a hulking lion man with a trigger-happy demeanor.
374	* FriendOrFoe: Early in Episode II, one of Boltz's turrets targets and shoots down a Valkoran Speeder Zolph is driving. They apologize to him for the accident, with Boltz claiming that he's still programming it to recognize exposed riders. And all [[ComedicSociopathy played for laughs]].
375	* GadgeteerGenius: Boltz. He even built a machine that can shoot down portable missiles.
376	* TheGhost: [[AllThereInTheManual According to her brief profile on the TFN forums' OC index thread]], a lot of people can go years without knowing that Spectre has always been part of the squad due to her operating behind scenes and her general lack of presence.
377	* HealingShiv: One of Patcher's tools are grenades that release bacta, also known as [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal "bacta bombs"]], which he uses if he needs to heal his squad in a pinch.
378	* ImprovisedWeapon: Boltz uses his own respirator mask as a makeshift ammonia bomb after it gets damaged.
379	* InASingleBound: As a [[{{Heavyworlder}} Kyuzo]], Spectre specializes at this, which allowed her to get back to Rwookrorro quickly to report an impending Valkoran attack. Complementing her squad role, this allows her to jump to any ideal sniping position.
380	* InsectoidAlien: Boltz is a Gand.
381	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bad Kitty is rather crass and combative while Spectre is rather cold (and the two butt heads with each other sometimes). However, they both of the galaxy's best interest at heart, and the former also has a soft spot kids, even if the kid in question [[spoiler:is a newborn Forceless symbiote]].
382	* LargeHam: Bad Kitty can be this when he gets into intense combat situations.
383	* LittleNo: Spectre gives one when she learns about General Choi's death.
384	* NonUniformUniform: While most of the squad wears teal armor with a few slight variations, Xadisall notably wears a vest over his armor and Spectre not only wears her traditional Kyuzo war helmet as part of her uniform, she also paints her armor with camouflagic colors to complement her role as a sniper and stealth specialist.
385	* NotSoAboveItAll: Xadisall isn't afraid to voice his personal opinions on corrupt politicians from his own government and finding amusement from their misfortune in private.
386	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Inverted with Xadisall, as he is the only one without an actual codename (the others sometimes just call him Xad or Captain). Bad Kitty does not like being called by his real name, and due to the cultural process of how Gands get their names, Boltz's codename is also his real name.
387	* OnlySaneMan: As the leader of the squad, Xadisall is easily the least quirky and most level-headed of them. The rest of the squad includes a BloodKnight, an eccentric engineer, a StepfordSmiler medic, and an aloof sniper.
388	* TheQuietOne: Spectre is the more soft-spoken member of the squad.
389	* RagTagBunchOfMisfits: With the exception of Xadisall, they're a very quirky bunch to say the least. They include a boisterous Cathar, a perpetually optimistic Nautolan medic, an eccentric Gand engineer, and an aloof Kyuzo sniper.
390	* RememberTheNewGuy: Invoked with Spectre in "Resolve". She's always been part of the squad; Zolph just hadn't seen her until then.
391	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Bad Kitty swears this on the Valkoran after the death of General Choi and the annihilation of Christophsis.
392	* TheSmartGuy: Boltz and Patcher are the technicians of the team, with Boltz specializing in technology and Patcher in medical science.
393	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Spectre is the only female member of the squad.
394	* ThirdPersonPerson: Boltz, as part of Gand culture dictating that they have to earn their names and the right to use personal pronouns. In fact, he has taken his nickname as his given name. He does not speak at all during the ''Doomsayer'' infiltration to make the infiltration to go as smoothly as possible. His bio states that when he's undercover,
395	* WeaponizedHeadgear: Spectre uses the same type of war helmets normally used by Kyuzo.
396	* AWizardDidIt: Boltz isn't particularly fond of pulling the Force card to explain something unusual (even when it really is the explanation). However, he willingly accepts it when he sees the results of the Christophsis massacre.
397	* WorstAid: Discussed regarding Patcher's "bacta bombs", which are essentially grenades that release an explosion of bacta. Many think these are highly ineffective at healing since they aren't applied to wounds in question, since they seem to be an attempt to apply video game healing logic to reality (which is a reference to some of the [[HealingShiv healing abilities]] in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''). However, they have kept the squad alive in a pinch until Patcher could apply ''proper'' medical treatment.
