Sev was a piratical male who served as a member of the crew of the freighter named Jynni's Virtue. The captain of this vessel was Naz Felyood. The Jynni's Virtue met its end on the planet Korriban when it crashed during an attempt to evade an Imperial patrol force. This event occurred six months prior to the Battle of Yavin. Following the crash, Sev met his demise at the hands of Korriban zombies, only to be resurrected as one of the undead himself. In his zombified state, he assaulted his former comrades aboard the Jynni's Virtue, before being terminated by a shot from Babbnod Luroon, the ship's second-in-command.
In the year 1 BBY, Sev was a male pirate employed by Corellian pirate captain Naz Felyood aboard the freighter Jynni's Virtue. The Jynni's Virtue was attacked by Imperial patrol ships equipped with cloaking shields above Korriban, a tombworld sacred to the Sith, six months before the Battle of Yavin. The vessel crashed on the surface of Korriban, specifically in the Valley of Golg near a Sith tomb, leaving Sev and the rest of the crew stranded. While exploring the planet, Naz Felyood stumbled upon the tomb and was taken over by the spirit of the dead Sith King Dathka Graush. This possession triggered the awakening of Graush's undead army of Korriban zombies. After the zombies were unleashed, Sev was bitten by one of them, contracting a plague transmitted through the bite. He succumbed to the zombie attack, but the plague later resurrected his corpse.
Three days after Felyood's possession by Graush, Sev's zombie, along with others, launched an assault on the Jynni's Virtue. Despite missing a portion of his face and an arm, Sev's reanimated form, along with numerous other zombies, attacked the Jynni's Virtue. During this conflict, Sev's zombie and that of Derec, another pirate who had become a zombie, targeted Babbnod Luroon, Felyood's First Mate. However, when the zombie that was once Sev attacked her with a rusty sword, Luroon used a blaster to eliminate both him and Derec. Naz Felyood later documented Sev's death on a piece of seven-thousand-year-old parchment, chronicling the events while stranded on Korriban.
Sev was a member of a species possessing a face and at least two arms. By 1 BBY, he had embraced piracy and served under captain Naz Felyood. Upon reanimation as a zombie, he was distinguished by the loss of an arm and a portion of his face. As a zombie, Sev wielded a rusty sword as a weapon.
Sev is a relatively insignificant character, mentioned in "Korriban: Planet of Lost Souls," an article penned by Cory J. Herndon as part of the Planet Hoppers series on the Wizards of the Coast website. His mention is limited to his post-mortem state, specifically when he returns as a zombie to menace the surviving crew members of the Jynni's Virtue, and in the captain's written account on parchment.
