"This obnoxious Nihil prison warden on the Korvix Vorn penal ship has been nagging me to come find out which of his prisoners is Jedi."
―Niv Drendow Apruk, to Driggit Parse[3]

"The Warden,"[4] also known as Herwint Tiks,[6] was a disgraced Nihil enforcer[4]– who served as the prison warden of Korvix Vorn penal ship during the High Republic Era. He asked the Nihil scientist Niv Drendow Apruk to find out which of his prisoners were Jedi.[3]

Behind the scenes

"Look out for the Warden who is one of the evilest characters I've ever written."
―Daniel José Older[7]

The warden was created for the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project and was first mentioned in an interview between authors Daniel José Older and Alyssa Wong that was posted on StarWars.com on January 23, 2024.[7] The character was later mentioned in the junior novel The High Republic: Escape from Valo, written by the two aforementioned authors[3] that was released on January 30 of the same year as part of the multimedia project's Phase III.[7] Older confirmed on Twitter that the usage of "they'll" and "their" within the section of Escape from Valo mentioning the warden was referring to the prison ship and not the Nihil's pronouns.[8]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic Adventures (2023) 18, including the death of the Warden above Eriadu, takes place one year and a few months after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY.
