Damek-Ol, a Gormak individual of the male gender, was a student of the Force under the tutelage of the Jedi Order on Voss in its distant past, during a period of conflict between the Jedi and Sith. His avarice and hubris regarding the Force's power resulted in the emergence of Sel-Makor. Centuries later, during the Cold War, he reappeared as a Force ghost, tasking an outsider with delivering a message to Voss-Ka: the Gormak and Voss were once a single race, and he threatened Voss with the consequences of their ongoing conflict with the Gormak.
In the ancient past, Voss was the site of battles between the Sith and Jedi. The planet's planet inhabitants possessed a strong connection to the Force. Driven by greed, they requested the Jedi to impart the secrets of the Force in exchange for military assistance. Damek-Ol was one of many who became disciples.
However, the natives failed to grasp the true nature of the Force. Those who pursued its study became known as the Voss, while those who rejected it, viewing it as a corrupting influence, devolved into the bestial Gormak. This division also spawned a dark side entity named Sel-Makor, who established a presence in the Nightmare Lands.
The circumstances surrounding Damek-Ol's death remain unknown, but his spirit persisted. Tragically, Sel-Makor imprisoned Damek-Ol within the body of his Dashade avatar, where he was confined for hundreds of years, even as Voss faded into obscurity within the larger galaxy.
Around 3640 BBY, during the Galactic War, a Republic strike team ventured into the Nightmare Lands, seeking to identify the source of the dark power residing there. Upon confronting and defeating Sel-Makor's Dashade avatar, Damek-Ol was liberated. With limited time remaining in the physical realm, the Gormak ghost revealed to the strike team the true history of Voss and Sel-Makor. He implored them to return to Voss-Ka and warn his people that the Nightmare Lands would continue to grow as long as the conflict between the Voss and Gormak persisted. He cautioned, however, that revealing the truth might jeopardize the Republic's efforts to forge an alliance with his people, as they might not believe it. Ultimately, the Republic heroes conveyed the truth to the Three, the rulers of Voss-Ka.
Damek-Ol is a character featured in the main Voss quests of Star Wars: The Old Republic. He serves as the Republic counterpart to Nemok-Ta, who appears in the Sith storyline. Following the encounter with Damek-Ol, the player faces a choice: to reveal the truth about the Voss and Gormak to the Three (a light side decision) or to conceal it (a dark side decision).
