Legend

an alien bounty hunter on Nar Shaddaa, Gorm was believed to have been a veteran of the Clone Wars. He was part cyborg, part living organism, but no one was sure how much of his body was not organic. It was later discovered that Gorm was a product of the Arkanian Renegades, created many years before the Battle of Naboo. Gorm was the only surviving member of their cyborg army, with a body that was made up from the parts of six distinct alien species and seven generations of droid electronics. This collection allowed Gorm to survive many hundreds of years. The rumors of Gorm's origins were revealed over the course of many years, especially when it was learned that Gorm's left arm was actually that of Vultar the Ugly. Gorm's true race was not known, but he often appeared to be more than alive. Severl years before the Battle of Naboo, Gorm was part of an unlikely group that was put together by Magus to hunt down Talesan Fry, after the young boy discovered their plans to assassinate twenty galactic leaders at a conference on Rondai-2. Although Gorm was captured and held for questioning, he eventually managed to escape. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Gorm was shot and apparently killed on Nar Shaddaa by the inexperienced bounty hunter Greedo. However, his unusual body composition - made up from six or more alien bioconstructs - allowed him to survive Greedo's blast and return to action.
