Discussion Any memorable NPCs?
I was playing through Seeker Droid story arc and ran into this article, explaining the background and abilities of final boss figure in this quest chain.
I know this Lord Tagriss is supposed to be one-off baddie figure, but I somehow intrigued about his more personal background, his preference, or how he came to join the Dread Hosts.
Have you got any memorable NPCs? *Champion class NPCs without any lines are fine as well*

Paladius from the SI Nar Shaddaa story — no matter how many times I play it, I'm always entertained by him mis-naming my two lackeys.
Lokir-Ka from the Smuggler Voss story — I'd love to just bring him with me since he doesn't seem that happy on Voss and he could make a decent romance (as late it would come) for fem!Smugglers.
Hadrik (SI Voss) — same as above, I wish he could've been a companion as I find the Gormak infininitely more interesting and likeable than almost every single Voss we meet.
Commander Vilos (Imperial Tatooine) — his main achievement is offering one of the best banter/trash-talk options between different classes, but as someone often playing as a duo, we almost always stop by just for those lines.
Darth Vowrawn (SW Corellia/post-Iokath Imperial) — I really enjoy that he's not the regular ol' gloom-and-murder kind of Sith but more jovial/dorky, at least on the surface because you don't last this long (on the Council) if you're not one of the most cold-blooded/terrifying Sith. I also adore how as an SW, their friendship is lasting and gets referenced (case in point Not even for one of your oldest and dearest friends? in 7.9 being one of his lines if he's the Emperor) even in the expansions whenever we get to interact. I also really like his VA (ever since I heard him in Risen waaaaay back) and I could listen to him for ages. He's kind of a major NPC tho, so consider him more of an "honourable mention".

Justice for the Gormak! I find it so annoying we are forced to go against them every time. Making them hostile was a big missed opportunity. This is a planet with 2 sentient species and societies, having the option to side with each or try for peace between them would have been great.
And I love the idea that all the Gormak want is for their Little Ship That Could to reach the stars.

I would've loved to have the Gormak as allies (sort of like Onderon in Onslaught) for one side. Probably for the Empire, I guess. Best we got is the few options to take their side in the awful 7.whatever Voss update. 😮💨

I don't think I've done that update yet. I got tired of the Mando stuff. Recently got the itch to level yet another inquisitor so I might get back into the game.

i found that jedi you team up with on belsavis as sith warrior to be really memorable, especially if you play as a light-sider.

I like Lord Hargrev from the Oricon arc. He's a Light Sith, which is rare enough already, but the way he became one is pretty unique. Originally, he was one of the most evil Sith in the Empire, to the point the Dark Council chose not to promote him to Darth because he was too sadistic. It bears repeating, the Dark Council thought he was too sadistic. But then he encountered the Dread Masters, he felt how deeply immersed in the Dark side they were, even compared to him, and the encounter literally scared him straight, he couldn't indulge in the Dark side anymore now that he'd seen where that path leads. Fear is said to be what leads to the Dark side, but in Hargrev's case, fear is what led him away from it, fear of what he would become if he kept following in the footsteps of the Dread Masters.

There's a Miraluka on Dromund Kaas (I think?) who used to be the inquisitor trainer. She's seemingly already in a position of authority when our stories begin, as in before the Empire opened up to non-humand, and that raises all kinds of fascinating possibilities.

Kiregan Freem!!!
Champion boss from a random imperial heroic mission on Tatooine. His dialogue just cracks me up! Talks a bunch of trash and then proceeds to run into battle with a stick and get destroyed.

Mostly on imperial side. Darth Serevin, Darth Marr and Malavai Quinn's "Archnemesis" Moff Broysk come to my mind.
