Loriach, an Alazmec sniper, held membership within the ranks of the Assassin's Guild. As a hired assassin, Loriach, alongside Chilla Zin and Gee-Ninety, was tasked with the death of a pontiff located on Vincorba. This pontiff had formed an alliance with the criminal organization known as the Crimson Dawn. The Sith Lord Darth Vader orchestrated this assassination as a trial part of his broader mission to eliminate Crimson Dawn, and Loriach was the one who discharged the sniper rifle that resulted in the pontiff's demise.
