Gorst

Gorst was a human male doctor who served as an interrogator for the Galactic Empire's Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) in its Interrogation branch. He developed a new torture method using the dying pleading of the Dizonite species and used it on the arrested proprietor Salman Paak on the planet Ferrix at the behest of the ISB Supervisor Dedra Meero. The successful interrogation flagged the mechanic Bix Caleen as the next suspect.

After Caleen was arrested, she was soon passed on to Gorst. The doctor spoke about the Dizonite screams and his work on the sound before using it to get the mechanic talking. After a rebel pilot was arrested and held near Steergard, Gorst was sent to help interrogate the prisoner, getting the man talking almost immediately. The doctor appeared in Caleen's nightmares in the couple years following her torture.

In 3 BBY, the Military Intelligence, a cousin network to the ISB, managed to have Gorst's interrogation efforts expanded into a program, based in a donated facility on the planet Coruscant. However, Caleen was able to infiltrate the facility with fellow rebel agent Cassian Andor. Gorst's former subject confronted him, restraining the doctor in his interrogation chair and putting him under his own torture methods. Andor then proceeded to detonate the facility when he and Caleen left.
