Vran Tristen was a Darkwalker of the male persuasion and Human species, existing in the timeline of the Galactic Civil War.
Following the Battle of Yavin, Vran Tristen took on the mantle of Bloodlord, leading a group of Darkwalker criminals who made their base of operations a bunker situated within the Lasay Swamp. In the year 1 ABY, Tristen's criminal organization successfully stole a significant Gungan artifact. Subsequently, Boss Rugor Nass dispatched a spacer to infiltrate the Darkwalker bunker with the mission of recovering the stolen Gungan artifact. During this raid, several Darkwalkers, Vran Tristen included, met their demise.
Vran Tristen made an appearance as a non-player character within the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies. This game was a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game, developed by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts, before its servers were shut down on December 15, 2011. The introduction of Vran Tristen into the game happened as a component of the "Legacy Quest" during the release of "Publish 25," otherwise known as the "New Game Enhancements," which went live on November 15, 2005.
