Farel Wickes was an infamous grave robber who was renowned by other Sith artifact collectors for his ability to uncover the most rare treasures.
In 3681 BBY, when the Sith Empire returned to reclaim Korriban, Wickes had just made a trade of Sith artifacts with smuggler Nico Okarr. When the Sith arrived, he tried to escape Korriban with his fortune but was captured and interrogated for weeks about the secrets he knew of the tombs. Eventually he succumbed to his injuries.
Farel Wickes was first mentioned in the Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia, released on October 15, 2012.
