Dobias Cole-Truten

"It is perfectly wretched. Sesquifian must've bought the worms from Dobias."

―Baze Malbus^[4]

Dobias Cole-Truten was a human who made a meager living on Jedha trapping and selling silichordate worms that other vendors would turn into meals. He required a rebreather due to his chronic respiratory condition, which he got from digging near Jedha's kyber mines.^[3] Cole-Truten had a reputation, at least with Baze Malbus, of selling particularly wretched worms.^[4] In 1 BBY,^[1] Cole-Truten was in Jedha City when it was targeted by the Galactic Empire's Death Star,^[5] and was killed in the destruction.^[2]
