Tragor

Tragor was an Ithorian male scientist and member of the Path of the Open Hand cult. Though his only child Boolan remembered him as a brilliant researcher, Tragor was nonetheless said to have been a troubled individual who was unable to discover a location for him to call home. Travelling with his son — who later claimed that he would have follow his father to the edges of the cosmos — the pair were recruited to the Path, which offered them a home and purpose inside its crusade. Wanting to believe that the cult would "show him the way", as a member of the Path, Tragor owned a laboratory beneath the caverns of their compound on the planet Dalna.

In 382 BBY, Tragor and Boolan had recently joined the cult. That year, Tragor joined a mission to the fabled Planet X to retrieve eggs of the Nameless species. However, the ship he was traveling on, the Moon of Sarkhai was destroyed by the planet's Veil, killing Tragor and everyone else on board. Marda Ro was stricken by Tragor's death and that it left his son an orphan. The Path's Mother, Elecia Zeveron told Boolan that Tragor had died because of the Jedi, doing so to convince him to place explosives throughout the caves of the Path compound on Dalna during the Night of Sorrow, a battle in which the Path fought against the Jedi. Marda and Yana Ro discovered him while he was planting them, and when Boolan explained what he was doing and why, Marda revealed that she had been there when his father died and that he was not killed by the Jedi, which successfully convinced the boy to stop planting the explosives.
