The Jedi Council absolved Thorla of any responsibility for causing Drassarb's death, but the Twi'lek still blamed himself for it. He returned to his homeworld, the planetRyloth, where he meditated on how he could have saved Drassarb. Thorla soon found a new purpose and began rescuing Twi'leks that had been captured by slavers. He established a settlement on Ryloth to serve as a safe haven for liberated slaves, and was very protective of the settlement's inhabitants, because he still felt guilt for Drassarb's death.[1]
Drassarb was first mentioned by Lee Pickler in Twi'light Storm, an adventure in the Living Force campaign, which was a supplement to the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. However, Twi'light Storm only referred to the individual as "Thorla's Padawan" and the character was not assigned the name Kritz Drassarb until the Padawan was mentioned in the role-playing supplement Echoes of the Jedi, in 2008. Neither source revealed Drassarb's species or gender.
In Twi'light Storm, it is possible for Jedi Master Devan For'deschel to tell the player characters about Drassarb's death, if they choose to ask her about why Thorla is on Ryloth.[1]
