Legend

this human was the son of a brilliant droid designer. His early years were filled with loneliness broken only by the company of droids, which Xalto came to love as his real family. As he grew, Xalto started to believe that all droids were at least somewhat sentient, and deserved to be treated as equals to organic lifeforms. Xalto's education followed his father's footsteps, and he became a genius in droid mechanics. His behavior turned fanatical and irrational in his later years, and a tattoo of a cog and a lightning bolt on his right hand signifies his complete devotion to freeing all droids throughout the galaxy. He founded the Droid Abolitionist Movement, and a small team of confederates gathered around him, including Babalabbet Swoont, Zoonia Tantra, and a blue droid known as G-3PO. A loud and fiery speaker, Xalto was highly charismatic. When he discovered that Cosmohaul Shipping was transporting large numbers of droids, he and his followers began pirating Cosmohaul ships. He and his team infiltrated Cosmohaul's crew pool, and managed to gain access to the Argent Lady and its cargo of R5 droids. Xalto added his "emancipation virus" to the droids, and hoped to set them free. However, his droids' programming caused the droids to rebel even against him. His group on the Argent Lady was tracked and killed by the R5 droids before a group of freelance mercenaries could stop them.
