Darthyn, a Human of the male persuasion, existed in the era known as the Cold War – a period of tension between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. This individual earned his keep as a merchant operating from the confines of Carrick Station.
The initial introduction of Darthyn to the Star Wars universe occurred within Star Wars: The Old Republic, a video game brought to life by BioWare. He was featured as a vendor dispensing Tython planetary commendations aboard Carrick Station, and the game was launched in 2011.
