Corin Tok Respect Thread

[Darth Durin's Baneling]

Playing through SWTOR, I thought this Jedi was pretty interesting and very impressive for a character that's never talked about.

Corin Tok is the leader of the largest Republic troop deployment on Corellia, and one of the Empire Protagonist's main opponents during the battle.

Corin Tok is descended from Jedi heroes of the Jedi Civil War 300 years prior.

[General Hesker:] "The rebels are massing at the Great Sith War Memorial Garden -- a pit honoring Jedi scum who fell to our first invasion three hundred years ago."

[Master Corin Tok:] "This garden honors champions of the Jedi Civil War. Heroes. Revan, Bastila Shan and my ancestors -- Zabrak who fought to save the galaxy. I follow in their great tradition."

Corin Tok survived the Sacking of Coruscant, a feat few Jedi can lay claim to, killing many Sith in the process.

[Lieutenant Loval:] "Yes, sir. Master Corin Tok. A Zabrak Jedi Knight, Republic war hero... and veteran of the Sacking of Coruscant."

[General Hesker:] "One of the few survivors. Many Sith fell to his lightsaber that day. He earned himself a pretty little reputation. Survivors claimed he was invincible. Blaster bolts splashing off skin, lightsabers failing in his presence. I say it's that special armor under his robes."

Darth Decimus, the member of the Dark Council leading the initial invasion of Corellia above even other Dark Councilors, regards Corin Tok as a very dangerous Jedi.

[Darth Decimus:] "The park's crawling with shock troops, battle droids and special forces -- all led by one very dangerous Jedi. We've never faced such a massive Republic deployment."

General Hesker maintains that Corin Tok's abilities have grown with his reputation during the war.

[General Hesker:] "One of the few survivors. Many Sith fell to his lightsaber that day. He earned himself a pretty little reputation. Survivors claimed he was invincible. Blaster bolts splashing off skin, lightsabers failing in his presence. I say it's that special armor under his robes. Since then, Master Corin Tok has aged into a hardened warhorse; his myth has grown, and he stands between us and control of Axial Park."

Corin Tok is surprised the Empire Protagonist is willing to face him, noting that his reputation as a "Sith butcher" is not unearned and that fleets and armies fear him.

[Master Corin Tok:] "So you're responsible for the Empire's sudden victories. I'm surprised you'd have the courage to face me. You know I can't be killed? Blasters, grenades, even lightsabers -- no effect. I've defended the Republic for decades without a scratch."

[Master Corin Tok:] "Some even call me the 'Sith Butcher.' Not to my taste, but accurate enough."

[Master Corin Tok:] "Imperials tremble at my name. Moffs have rerouted capital ships to avoid me."

Corrin Tok's defense is so strong that he hasn't suffered a scratch or the sensation of pain in decades.

[Master Corin Tok:] "You know I can't be killed? Blasters, grenades, even lightsabers -- no effect. I've defended the Republic for decades without a scratch."

[Master Corin Tok:] "Funny... I'd almost forgotten what pain felt like."

The Empire Protagonist admits that Tok's reputation is impressive.

[Empire Protagonist:] "You paint an impressive picture, Jedi. I hope you can live up to it."

Corin Tok is confident that he can defeat the Empire Protagonist.

[Master Corin Tok:] "When I strike you down, the Empire loses its only hope of taking Corellia."

Corin Tok duels the Empire Protagonist.

On hearing of the Force-sensitive Empire Protagonist's victory over Corin Tok, General Hesker asserts that the Protagonist's abilities are on the level of the Dark Council.

[Sith Warrior/Inquisitor:] "I've killed the unkillable Jedi. Axial Park belongs to the Empire."

[General Hesker:] "One absurd rumor about an invincible Jedi safely put to rest. Your powers are only rivaled by the Dark Council itself. It's been an honor, my lord."

3640 BBY

Corin Tok is entrusted to lead the largest deployment of Republic troops on Corellia, perhaps the greatest warzone in the Great Galactic War up until that point. Said deployment contains several other Jedi Knights and Masters.

[Darth Decimus:] "The park's crawling with shock troops, battle droids and special forces -- all led by one very dangerous Jedi. We've never faced such a massive Republic deployment."

Conclusion

Corin Tok is easily one of the most powerful Jedi Masters of the era, knocking on the door of members of the Dark Council in terms of combative strength. Respect the Sith Butcher!
