BiographyEdit

In Tulak Hord's service he devoured over a thousand Jedi and the more his master conquered, the more he feasted and an unusual bond formed between the Sith Lord and the Shadow Killer. However centuries passed and the story of Khem Val became a mere legend. Later, during the Cold War, he was found suspended in a stasis field inside the tomb of Naga Sadow on Korriban guarded by a field of electrical energy where even the most powerful Sith Lords would not try to free him.

He was eventually freed by a promising Sith Acolyte at the time. This was ordered by Zash. When freed, he was enraged to learn that Hord was dead, and set to kill the acolyte. But in his weakened state he was defeated and had no choice but to serve the acolyte later revealed as Kallig and claimed he would regain his strength eventually.

As the power of his master grew, Darth Zash recalled her apprentice. Val went with his master in what they knew was a trap. Zash revealed that she was dying and intended to take his body. As the fight continued, Zash was able to complete the ritual to transfer herself, but Khem Val attacked to save his master, interrupting the process. By doing this, he became the recipient of Zash's existence and was forced to share his body with the Sith Lord.

PersonalityEdit

At first, Khem Val viewed Kallig and the current Sith as unworthy of continuing Tulak Hord's legacy, and vowed to devour him or her when his powers returned. As time went on, Khem began to respect his new master and later admitted that his opinion of them was wrong.

Behind the scenesEdit

Khem Val is one of the companion players open to players who choose to play as the Sith Inquisitor Class in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

He received an entry in the "Biographies" section of the website's "Holonet" feature. On his entry, there are several phrases in Aurebesh. When translated, they read "Vessel for the master", "Bitter rivalry", "Unwilling servant". Vessel refers to sharing his body with Darth Zash, the Bitter rivalry alluding to the betrayal of Aloysius Kallig at the hands of Hord, and Unwilling servant refers to him being bonded to Kallig.
