Tulak Hord is a flashback villain in Star Wars. He was a male humanoid Dark Lord of the Sith and blademaster. As Dark Lord, he ruled the Old Sith Empire.

History

Early life

As a new member of the Sith, Hord quickly gained a formidable reputation, being a natural with the Force and lightsaber. A few years into his career, he fought, defeated, and earned the respect of Khem Val, who voluntarily became his most loyal servant.

Yn and Chabosh rebellions

Together, Tulak Hord and Khem Val put down rebellions against the Sith Empire on the planets Yn and Chabosh. During this time, he was sought out by a Lord of the Sith named Aloysius Kallig, who offered him his service. Although Hord first refused him, he was impressed when Lord Kallig defeated Hord's best general in combat. Kallig became one of Tulak Hord's chief generals.

Dark Lord of the Sith

At some point, Hord earned the titles Lord of Hate, Master of the Gathering Darkness, and Dark Lord of the Sith. This was met with some opposition, which Hord promptly silenced. Hord began to see his ally Aloysius Kallig as a threat, and had him assassinated.

Rumor began to spread throughout the Sith Empire that Tulak Hord had discovered the secret to immortality. As a result, he scattered his artifacts all over the galaxy, one of which he did near the tomb of Lord Kallig on Dromund Kaas.

In the future tomb of Naga Sadow on Korriban, Hord placed Khem Val in a stasis chamber, which would be unlocked over two thousand years later by the descendant of Kallig, the future Darth Nox. Ironically, Khem became Nox's most loyal servant.

After his death, Hord was placed in a grand tomb in the Valley of the Dark Lords along with several of his artifacts, armor pieces, and his holocron. Somehow, however, his spirit found its way to Yavin IV, where he would be discovered by the Outlander along with other deceased Dark Lords such as Marka Ragnos and Naga Sadow.
