For a regular soldier with no real outstanding qualities but good instincts, Captain Harron Tavus really did beat the system of Force Sensitives hogging the spotlight. Sure, he didn't have as much trailer screen time as Jace Malcom, nor is he as cool as the name taking and butt-kicking Theron Shan, but he did make a name for himself – one any Trooper will know intimately in The Old Republic.

Not much is known about Harron Tavus' early life, but during the beginnings of the Trooper storyline on Ord Mantell, he informs the player that he was with Havoc squad since he was barely a man. Harron saw nearly three decades of direct conflict, all the way from the Battle of Alderaan, Sacking of Coruscant, and various special forces conflicts in Imperial space by the orders of General Garza. He surely didn't adhere to military doctrine. As seen in Threat of Peace, he had an odd relationship with Satele Shan after he helped rescue her and a flourishing friendship with Jedi Master Orgus Din, even going so far as to help him in diplomatic missions and offensives, like the Sith invasion of the Minos Cluster.

Republic Profile: Theron Shan

"Observe and fight. Interrogate and mediate." The words of Republic Strategic Information Service operative Theron Shan, the secret child of Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan. Active during the Cold War, Theron was an intelligent, quick-on-his-feet spy who channelled the collective cool of James Bond and Boba Fett. He made his first appearance in the Star Wars: The Old Republic comics penned by Blood of The Empire (and Imperial Agent class story writer) author and developer Alexander Freed.

Born on the Galactic Republic's capital of Coruscant, Theron spent the majority of his life travelling and training as a padawan would under the tutelage of Jedi Master Ngani Zho, the very same master who trained all the members of the current Jedi council in combat. At first it seemed he was to follow in the footsteps of his mother and ancestors but upon Ngani Zho's realization that he was not force sensitive, he was all but abandoned by Master Zho and forced to leave by the Jedi on Tython. The SIS was the next step for Theron and the most notable efforts of his life would be made within it, gathering information on the media blackouts that were present on several Imperial worlds, breaking up Black Sun slaving rings and even preventing the potential for another war... or the Imperial ability to fight if such a war to break out again.
