Pashon Cortess, belonging to House Cortess, was a Human male. He was the offspring of Baron Peyar Cortess and Chay Cortess. Approximately around 3641 BBY, he obtained intelligence from Hunter concerning the location of Cipher Nine and pledged to eliminate them for the perceived damage to his family's honor. He confronted the agent at Proculus Station, but was defeated. Before losing consciousness, he warned the agent that other individuals harmed by Nine would seek retribution.
Subsequently, Imperial security forces arrived, surprised to discover Pashon's deception, as he had falsely claimed authorization from House Thul. They inquired about Pashon's destiny, and the agent commanded his execution.
In the 2011 video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, Pashon Cortess appears as a character in the Imperial Agent Chapter 3 mission titled "Heist." If the player has Vector Hyllus as a companion, unique dialogue will occur where Vector tries to reason with Pashon, but this does not prevent the ensuing conflict.
Depending on the choices made by the player, Pashon's ultimate fate can be determined in three distinct ways:
- Pashon is taken into custody (neutral dialogue)
- Pashon is delivered to House Thul (light side dialogue)
- Pashon is put to death (dark side dialogue)
