I'm hoping to get approval in July to begin posting excerpts from Deceived, my Star Wars novel set in the The Old Republic. But in the meantime, I thought I'd post the Dramatis Personae for the novel. There are four core characters (these four are either point of view characters, or characters with a lot of screen time) and several important, but non-core characters.
The Core Characters
Darth Malgus, male human Sith lord.
Eleena Daru, female Twi-lek, a trained combatant and Malgus's companion.
Aryn Leneer, female human Jedi Knight and Force Empath.
Zeerid Korr, male human smuggler, former Republic commando
The Non-Core characters
Master Ven Zallow, male human Jedi Master
Darth Angral, male human Sith Lord.
Lord Adraas, male human Sith.
A few of the names should be familiar to fans who have read the Threat of Peace webcomic and the Biographies. The most notable character on the list is Malgus' companion, Eleena Daru, who appeared in the Deceived trailer and until now remained unnamed. Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived is due out in hardcover on December 28, 2010. You can pre-order the novel from Amazon.com. Hat tip to r2d2arm.

Posted 6/9/2010 2:19:35 PMA lot of people's favourite Star Wars characters aren't human (Kit Fisto, Shaak Ti, Aayla Secura, etc.) and seeing so many humans as the main characters does make me worry that we'll only have playable species that are near-human in TOR, like Mirialan and Rattataki. I want those species to be playable, of course, but I want Twi'lek, Togruta, Kel'Dor and Nautolan too... amongst the other main humanoid species that I'm sure many others want.
Oh well, hopefully I'm just reading too much into this. :)

For myself, Zeerid Kor was the character that jumped out at me. The possible tie in (already mentioned by another poster here) to other character's with that name, and also the "former Republic Commando" part definitely sparked my imagination. I suspect I will look forward to his segments of the book the most.

Biography entries
KOTOR 1 & 2 (in a way)
...No, no game matches the backstory that I know of. Of course, Warhammer Online has a ton of lore attached to it. WoW had the previous Warcraft games. LOTRO has massive books of lore. The only difference between these MMOs and The Old Republic is that these things have come out specifically for TOR. It's something Bioware did already though with Mass Effect. But I'm sure Fatal Alliance and Deceived will sell more books and the Mass Effect novels (which weren't all that good IMHO).
