- "He's a good man to have in war; a man who thrives in the company of death."
- — Solan Phota
Teron Helstone is one of the top Generals in the Imperial Army and is best known for his utterly ruthless and cold-hearted tactics in doing whatever is necessary to win battles. He cares nothing for collateral damage or protecting non-combatants in any way unless they’re the key to victory, however he also doesn’t go out of his way to cause unnecessary damage and destruction.
He served loyally with the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, but his brutal nature prevented him from achieving several promotions in spite of his victories. This changed with the advent of the Galactic Empire and Helstone found that his callousness was appreciated rather than scorned. During the Xen’Chi War, Helstone was the driving force behind Operation Bad Neighbor.
He commands a sizable task force, which he oversees from his flagship, the Pitiless.
