Class portraits are official SWTOR artwork. The original 2011 class stories are Legends; your dialogue decisions can change scenes and relationships.

From Vette and Khem Val to Kira Carsen and Mako, every Origin Story introduces a different crew. Open a companion file to see their background, recruitment context and story connections.

Each dossier includes an original biography, chronology, anthropology section, evidence questions and connections to its class walkthrough. Historical companion statistics are not presented as current combat recommendations.

These pages document the characters' original class stories and later expansion developments while keeping player-dependent outcomes and outdated game mechanics clearly separated.

Portraits appear only when a character-specific image has been verified and saved in the IDS media build. Text-only entries stay visible if an image is unavailable.

Visit Makeb, Rishi, Yavin 4, Zakuul, Onderon, Manaan and more. Select an expansion to explore its plot, characters, release history and practical gameplay context. These are release years, not BBY dates.
