Sorin Ruy'the

Sorin Ruy'the was a male  who lived during the. Preferring anonymity to the trouble that came with fame, he was not officially part of the Bothan Spy Guild, though he had numerous sources and contacts within it. While Sorin was a young man, the  Suwo Tolp saved his life. The two men would remain business partners throughout their careers.

Sorin had no allegiance to any galactic government or organization, but he was careful to balance the aid he lent to each side so no faction would consider him more trouble than he was worth and eliminate him. He established himself on at the fringe of  to be connected to the Spy Guild and yet near other regions and their information flow. Suwo sometimes sought out Sorin when other sources of information failed him, often bringing along his Tirien Kal-Di; Sorin felt that Kal-Di, unlike Suwo, was too idealistic and had an unrealistic view of how the galaxy worked, unwilling to step into the muck to do what needed to be done for his cause.

In 1,391 BBY, Sorin sold his old friend Suwo the location of the Sith factory on  in exchange for news of the Republic's military movements in galactic north. Sorin subsequently heard of Suwo's death there and mourned the loss.

In 1,386 BBY, following the murder of Supreme Chancellor Phnyong by Darth Alecto, Sorin unwillingly came to know that Alecto was in hiding at Rosstark's on Bogg 14. As the entire galaxy was looking for her, Sorin felt that selling the information to one side would lead the other to eliminate him and went into hiding at, lurking in a spice den concealed by Bloof's food stand. Despite his precautions, Tirien Kal-Di tracked him down. Sorin had also learned that Tirien had been stripped of his Force powers, so he allowed the young Knight into his presence. Ultimately, they bargained out an exchange: Sorin told Tirien Alecto's location and arranged transportation for him to Bogg 14 in return for Tirien prevailing on his friend Mali Darakhan to allow some of Sorin's clients to ship product into. To repay the debt he had owed Suwo for saving his life, Sorin also warned Tirien that other parties knew Alecto's location.
