Legend

considered by many to have been the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy during the Great Sith War, Calo Nord was an outwardly unassuming man who was known for his deliberate precision in his actions. As a child, he was sold into slavery by his parents, and managed to kill his masters on his sixteenth birthday. He then set out to execute his parents for selling him into slavery, an action which earned him a substantial bounty on his head. Calo Nord was determined not to be captured, and learned everything he could of the tactics used by the bounty hunters who pursued him, before he killed them all in turn. Eventually, Calo Nord discovered who had placed the bounty on his head in the first place, and executed them as well. Calo Nord eventually became a free man, and set out to become a bounty hunter in his own right. His natural instincts for survival and his ruthless efficiency allowed him to become the most feared hunter of his time. Many criminals believed that his existence was a myth that was told to other criminals to frighten them away from a life of crime; this stemmed from the fact that very few beings ever escaped him to testify to his prowess. He eventually went to work for the Sith during the years of conflict surrounding the Great Sith War, and also took on work for The Exchange during the same period. He dogged Bastila Shan, Carth Onasi, and the Jedi Knights who were searching for the Star Forge and Darth Malak, and was believed to have been killed on Taris. However, he managed to survive the assault and escape the planet before it was destroyed by the Sith. Nord continued to work for Darth Malak, and it was while on Sith business that Calo Nord was eventually killed, during the battle for control of the Star Forge near the Unknown World of the Rakata.
