During the era of the Galactic War, approximately 3640 BBY, Senator Tobas Grell of the Rift Alliance was abducted by Stark, who served the First Son of the Emperor. An attempt to rescue Tobas was made by Nadia Grell, his daughter, and the Barsen'thor of the Jedi Order; however, he died from the torture inflicted by Stark. Ultimately, Stark met his demise at the hands of the First Son, who severed his life force after his defeat.
