Zirchros was a Huttcrime lord living during the time of the Galactic Republic.[2] Although he was a member of a species of hermaphrodites,[3] Zirchros possessed a male personality. He was born[2] around the year5,341 BBY,[1] and he had a father who had obtained a collection of cultural artifacts from a civilization that had been extinct for some time by Zirchros's later years. At some point, Zirchros learned the location of the artifacts, and he also had a large amount of knowledge of the early criminal underworld of the Galactic Republic. When Zirchros came into possession of the artifacts, he kept them a secret.[2] Around the year 3,641 BBY,[4] Zirchros was dying in his medical facility at the age of 1,700 years. As he stayed there, Zirchros told individuals about the old Republic underworld.[2]

Zirchros is first mentioned in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a 2011MMORPG released by BioWare. He is featured in the archaeology crew skill mission entitled "Memoirs of a Crimelord," which is available for players of both the Sith Empire and Republic factions. In a crew skill mission, the player sends one of their companions to complete the mission, but due to the mission being available to all classes, it is unknown who met with Zirchros. As a reward for the mission, the player receives some lost artifact fragments. The player can choose not to send their companion of the mission, so it is not guaranteed that anyone met with Zirchros.[2]
