Legend

this large Hutt once trained as a Jedi Knight, during the Old Republic. Like all Hutts, his ego often preceeded him, and he prefered to be called Beldorion the Splendid or Beldorion of the Ruby Eyes. He had a strong affinity for the Force (a trait not often found in Hutts), but had no real control. He claimed he was sent to the planet Nam Chorios with Taselda, as part of a mission requested by their Jedi Masters to investigate the planet's connection to the Force. However, it was believed that they went to Nam Chorios hoping to obtain additional strength in the Force. He was drawn to the planet by its unusually high concentration of the Force, and found himself vying for the control of the small settlement there with Taselda. Beldorion's limitations were obviated by his inability to form his own lightsaber, so he attempted to steal Taselda's in an effort to obtain complete control. He failed at this, but had captured the interest of Dzym. The huge droch used Beldorion much as he had Taselda, gathering strength from his limited control of the Force. In this way, Beldorion surplanted Taselda as the leader of the settlement. This arrangement lasted until Dzym took control of Seti Ashgad and put the human in Beldorion's place. The Hutt continued to live on Nam Chorios, never escaping from Dzym's ultimate power. It was Beldorion who bargained with Dymurra for the use of several Loronar synthdroids as part of Dzym's plans to take control of the galaxy. Beldorion briefly enslaved Callista, when she tried to discover the Force on the planet, but she escaped him and fled to the mountains. He and Ashgad had a well-publicized struggle for control, which lasted until Dzym forced Ashgad to capture Leia Organa-Solo. Beldorion tried to control Leia's untapped potential for the Force, in an effort to take Taselda's lightsaber and defeat Ashgad. In this effort, Beldorion managed to recover the lightsaber. He intercepted Leia and Luke Skywalker as they tried to repair a ship and take off after Dzym and Seti Ashgad, and became engaged in lightsaber combat with Leia. Leia, having trained with Callista, managed to defeat the Hutt, slicing him open and mortally wounding him.
