Korlen Olligard was a Quarren minor Sith Lord of Darth Revan's Sith Empire. Originally a Consular of the Jedi Order, he was an erudite political theorist and a colleague to the reformer and Chronicler Atris, who reviewed most of his dissertations. To Atris's confusion and dismay, Olligard eventually joined Revan's dissident Jedi Crusaders to fight in the Mandalorian Wars. Following the Mandalorians' defeat, the Crusaders embraced the dark side of the Force under Darth Revan's leadership and waged war against the Galactic Republic.
In the early months of the war, Korlen Olligard played an integral role in the conquest of the previously-independent Gordian Reach. As reward for this, Revan raised him to the status of minor Sith Lord and installed him as prefect of the sector. Olligard was content with this position, operating from Torque Highport station for over a decade in spite of multiple regime changes and civil wars among the Sith. He was assisted in his duties by Vasma Brand, a Human woman who had served in the Gordian's sector government prior to the Sith conquest. Noting Brand's talent as an administrator, Olligard made her his deputy prefect and the two grew to respect each other over the years.
In 21,108 AR, Torque Highport was infiltrated by a team of Republic SIS agents which included the prefect's former colleague, Atris. Posing as a high-ranking Sith called "Lady Crysenthia", Atris claimed that she needed to speak urgently with Olligard, stalling and confusing him while her accomplice Atton Rand stole important data from the prefect's personal files. Once inside his office, Olligard began to realize he had been deceived, whereupon Rand attacked and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. With some help from Atris, Rand was victorious, wounding the prefect with blaster fire before driving him into a proximity mine.
The blast left Olligard severely injured and disfigured, but his life was indirectly saved by Sith Adepts Giran Faselli and Bevel Zanatsu, who had come to the station to thwart the Republic agents. Though they failed to do so, Zanatsu led station security to the prefect's office, where they stabilized Olligard long enough to convey him to a kolto tank.
