Bao-Dur is a Star Wars fictional character in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

Bio

Bao-Dur is a Iridonian , not a Zabrak, technician who fought under the Jedi Exile in the Mandalorian Wars, hence his insistence as referring to the Exile as "General". Bao-Dur is the inventor of the Mass Shadow Generator that ended the battle on Malachor V by completely obliterating the Mandalorian fleet and inadvertently killing many Republic soldiers on his own side of the battle, leading to a great deal of guilt later in his life. The Exile (that much later befriended Bao-Dur) gave the command, which sent massive echoes in the Force throughout the galaxy.

Bao-Dur has a remote droid companion, who he built as a child and follows him throughout his adventures. He upgrades him at various points in the game.

At the time when he is introduced to the Player Character in Knights of the Old Republic II, Bao-Dur is working as a technician on the surface of Telos, a world that had been destroyed prior to the events of Knights of the Old Republic. He is in charge of the shield system that cordons off areas on the Telosian surface and provides protection for any animals introduced there. He works there so that he might help to add back into the galaxy some of the life he took away at Malachor V. He hates Czerka, and generally wishes to see kindness spread throughout the galaxy. He is still an accomplished warrior, however, despite his pacifistic side and his long absence from combat.

Atris and her Handmaidens generally thought highly of Bao-Dur's skill with machinery and technology; in the words of the last Handmaiden, "his skill with machinery is something beyond what most can even aspire to". She then goes on to add that "his shield designs surpass even those of the best Echani power architects" - sublime praise coming from someone who was an Echani herself, and moreover a warrior.

Bao-Dur may become a Jedi Guardian or Dark Jedi Guardian, depending on the actions the player takes within the game.
