Rokur Gepta

Rokur Gepta is a Force-sensitive Croke and the last Sorcerer of Tund. After joining the Sorcerers in 5 BBY, he learns their secrets, gains knowledge of their arcane Force traditions, and uses a bioweapon to devastate Tund. He later deals with Emperor Palpatine, trading some of the order’s secrets for authority in the Centrality, where he operates as Scrivinir and rules through fear, illusion, and Imperial backing.

Gepta’s ambitions lead him to search for the Mindharp of Sharu, an ancient artifact he believes can give him control over others. He becomes entangled with Governor Duttes Mer and Lando Calrissian during the search, then turns his attention toward Lando after repeated humiliations. His grudge follows Lando through later conflicts in the Oseon system and the ThonBoka Nebula, where Gepta uses his authority, sorcery, and Imperial resources to pursue revenge.

Appearance: Rokur Gepta has tan skin and a tall, lean build mostly covered by layered robes and armor. He wears a red cloth mask and wrapped head covering that conceal most of his face, leaving only his eyes visible, with gold trim, curved gold cheek guards, and a circular gold ornament centered on the forehead. His outfit is built around deep red robes with a wide crossed chest wrap, a red waist sash, and long split coat panels that hang over gray inner trousers. One shoulder has dark angular armor, while his sleeves are pale gray and gathered beneath red forearm wraps and light gloves. Gold clasps, small buckles, and a vertical red-and-gold ornament decorate the front of the waist. His knees are protected by red armor plates with gold edging and small circular emblems. He wears dark wrapped boots with red front panels, gold trim, and layered gray bindings around the calves.

Personality: Rokur Gepta is cruel, vain, and obsessively vindictive, ruling through fear while hiding his true Croke body behind sorcerous deception and authority. He sees himself as ancient, superior, and entitled to obedience, which makes open defiance especially enraging to him. His hatred for Lando Calrissian becomes personal after Lando humiliates him, and Gepta becomes fixated on making him suffer rather than simply removing him as an obstacle.

His main relation is with Lando, who becomes his chosen enemy across multiple conflicts in the Centrality, Oseon system, and ThonBoka Nebula. Gepta’s Imperial connection comes through Palpatine, who grants him authority in the Centrality after Gepta trades secrets of the Sorcerers of Tund. He also allies with Klyn Shanga, but their partnership is hostile and unstable, since Gepta considers Shanga useful but insubordinate and intends to discard him once he no longer needs him.

Rokur Gepta is Force-sensitive and dangerous mainly through deception, sorcery, and Croke illusion-casting. His true body is a small Croke, but he hides behind a larger humanoid illusion convincing enough to fool enemies and command fear. He studies the Sorcerers of Tund and learns their arcane Force traditions, including ritual knowledge, force fields, and the construction of an electromagnetic torpedo carrying a lethal bioweapon. He is also skilled at infiltration, manipulation, torture, and command, using fear and false appearances as much as direct power.
