Toras

Toras was a pureblood sith male blacksmith who lived on Korriban during the First Age of the Old Republic.

Born shortly before the collapse of the Sith Dynasty, Toras was ostracised from Sith society for refusing to adhere to their cultural norms. He became a blacksmith and in 3064 BBY he was approached by a young human boy named Zhen who asked Toras to fix his mother's ring. Toras saw the scars and bruises on the boy's arms and face and decided to take him under his wing as his apprentice.

One year later, Toras was approached by a group of Humanite Sith led by Farveil, who were paid to find Zhen by his mother before she died. One of Farveil's minions found Zhen hiding in a cupboard in Toras' smithy, prompting the anti-alien group to draw their lightsabers on the pureblood blacksmith. Toras instinctively activated his lightsaber, one of his own making, in order to defend himself and Zhen. Although he managed to kill two of the Humanites that attacked him, he was eventually killed by Farveil. Zhen subsequently took his mentor's lightsaber and fled the scene.

Toras spoke with a thick accent which many found difficult to understand, as well as stood over seven feet tall.
