Torem Odé

Torem Odé was a  who fought for the  during the, , , the  and beyond.

Like many Sith, Torem was born on, eventually becoming a Lord. During her early years, she worked under the command of, befriending , a fellow Sith Lord who she quickly fell in love with. Beniko did not share Torem's affection, however, and after being rejected several times she became increasingly more depressed, until- while fighting the on - Torem approached Lana one final time.

As before, Lana declined her advances, snapping at her for her poor timing. This proved to be the final straw; Torem wandered off into the jungle, intent on losing herself to starvation or the wildlife.

But sadness turned to anger, and instead of death Torem decided to seek out the Revanites and fight alongside them to spite Lana. Unfortunately, by the time she found a trace of the Revanites it was too late; she discovered the site of the final confrontation between members of the coalition and, marked only by the robe of the fallen Jedi legend.

So she returned to the coalition camp and departed with the bulk of the Imperial forces not long after, only meeting Lana again when the attacked.

Torem was there to refuel her ship before heading back to the frontlines in the war against the. Beniko knew of her presence on the planet, but only contacted her when the Emperor revealed himself, further angering the already bitter Sith Lord, who refused to lend a hand.

Torem thanked her for the warning, then spitefully told her that if she could survive without Lana then Lana could survive without her. As promised, Torem left Ziost and returned to safer warzones.

She continued fighting in the years that followed, changing her target to Zakuulan forces when the emerged. After the war was lost, she refused to lay down her weapons and smuggled herself to, living off the land in the dreary expanse of the.

It was there that she came into contact with Benjamin Lambert, a distant relation of hers and a fellow Sith, and his group of terrorists, made from both Imperial and Republic citizens who weren't content with submission.

For several months, Torem and the group terrorised Zakuul, targeting civilians and military targets alike.

Eventually, though, Torem left Zakuul and settled down as a civilian on, spending several years enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful planet, even learning that she had trace amounts of blood in her veins. This allowed her to unlock the same infallible eye for the future possessed by the ; making her the only known non-Voss with the ability.

After attacked Voss, an enraged Torem rejoined the Empire to fight back. She stayed with the Empire even after the Eternal Empire was overthrown and the focus returned to fighting the Republic.

In time, the Republic started winning the renewed war, pushing the Imperials back and bringing them to the edge of oblivion. When the Republic finally launched an assault on the Imperial capital Torem turned on her people, copying and wiping sensitive data and sending false orders, helping the Republic cause even more damage and reducing the number of ships that were able to flee. In doing so, she also shook off her old life; unbeknownst to her, this was a significant contributor to her ongoing depression.

Torem managed to evade capture, using the Force to help her hide aboard a damaged Republic frigate so that she'd be transported to the, rather than on a ship sent to pursue the surviving Imperials.

She contacted a she'd worked with multiple times towards the end of the war, taking her up on her offer to facilitate her defection to the Republic, made in jest several years earlier.

The Jedi (Avexiss Redonna Odé) told her that she'd outgrown the restrictions of the Jedi Order and, now, worked for the. Nonetheless, she agreed to escort her to, where together they convinced Republic officials to formally pardon her for any past actions against the Republic.

Luckily, the chaos she'd caused on Dromund Kaas hadn't gone unnoticed, and her claim that she'd sabotaged the Empire during the battle fit perfectly with reports they had from the military. This was, largely, what earned her her pardon.

Free to go, Torem and Avexiss walked through the gardens in the, discussing the state of the war. Avexiss revealed that she took part in the attack on Dromund Kaas, although she admitted to being glad that they hadn't crossed paths at the time.

Avexiss then kissed Torem, the culmination of chemistry that'd emerged in their earlier interactions. At the time, Torem had still been hung up on Lana Beniko and Avexiss' hatred of the Sith had made her mistrustful of even allied Imperials, but with the war behind them and the wisdom of the years informing their decisions, the pair were free to begin a romantic relationship.

Although the pair spent many happy years together in which they married and adopted several children orphaned during the war, it was not to last. Torem's visions became more and more frequent throughout the years until she eventually experienced a vision relating to her wife.

A vision in which she stabbed Avexiss in the back, murdering her and the dark entity that lived inside her, taking the burden for herself. She didn't know why she had to do it, but her visions always involved the protection of Voss and the city of.

Torem assumed that the entity Avexiss kept caged would find a way to free itself without Torem's intervention, thus becoming a threat to the Voss, and that if that were the case it would threaten all life, not just those on Voss.

So with a heavy heart Torem waited until the moment she'd foreseen and murdered her wife as the vision had shown her, stabbing her through the stomach and fleeing, hated by her friends and with a hollow, sickening feeling as the waves of heartbreak she'd sensed from Avexiss haunted her retreat.

She spent the next few years in hiding, ashamed and broken, with only the taunting entity in her mind for company. To make matters worse, the entity kept her body healthy, restoring her youth as it'd done for Avexiss, ensuring that her loneliness would last for a very long time.
