Khazan

Khazan was a male Massassi warrior in the Golden Empire. He served in both the Battle of Sanduluc and the Conquest of the Chiss Ascendancy, receiving decorations for both valor and merit, before commissioning as an officer and transferring to the Massassi Guard. As captain of Queen Rin Sakaros's personal Guard detail, Khazan oversaw all other Massassi assigned to the unit and worked closely with the Royal Guard Tarzg Sav'lir. Both Rin and Tarzg were fond of Khazan, finding him a skilled and dedicated officer.

Beginning with the death of his brother Vezek in the Ssi-ruuvi Incursion, the Massassi Wyrrk, also assigned to Rin's Guard detail, grew to resent her and ultimately plot her death. He attempted to assassinate her on in 143 ABY; having foreseen his plot, Rin defended herself, and Wyrrk was killed by his surviving brother, Assht. Realizing he had failed to see treachery and danger in his own command, Khazan begged Rin for permission to kill himself. Rin knew that Khazan's self-loathing would greatly inhibit his performance as an officer thenceforth, and that other Massassi would despise him, and she condoned his death. However, in recognition of his long and faithful service, she invited to look on her unveiled face before he died—which Khazan took as an enormous honor—and killed him quickly herself by telekinetically crushing his ribs into his heart and lungs.

At Rin's order, Khazan was allowed military honors for his funeral on Kavez Massass.
