- "They regard Ajunta Pall as the manifestation of Typhojem, the Left-Handed God, and they are easily persuaded to do our bidding."
- ―Sorzus Syn
Typhojem, or Typhojem, the Left-Handed God, was a deity worshipped by the Kissai. Following the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness, the Dark Jedi Ajunta Pall appointed himself as the leader of the Sith, and the Sith's Kissai priests hailed Pall as a manifestation of Typhojem.[1]
Behind the scenes
Daniel Wallace included Typhojem in the 2012 reference book Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side at the recommendation of Abel G. Peña. According to Wallace, Peña drew upon an unpublished magazine article written by Rich Handley and Joseph Bongiorno. Bongiorno clarified that Typhojem would have featured in his planned novella Supernatural Encounters: The Trial and Transformation of Arhul Hextrophon. Additionally, Bongiorno intended Typhojem to be the firstborn of Tilotny, a "less-than-subtle reference to Cthulhu" and was described to appear as "a hideous thing the universe had never before seen, a tentacled grotesquery with a pulpy head, like a monstrous squid from the occluded deeps, but with membranous wings that drew forth from the dripping, bloated sack that was its body" and could drive an individual to madness by looking at its face. The name Typhojem would have meant "Father of Shadows" and Bongiorno noted a connection between the deity and Pomojema from Splinter of the Mind's Eye.[2]
"The Left-Handed God" was first mentioned in the 1981 Marvel UK Star Wars story "The Pandora Effect," written by Alan Moore, as a subject of worship by the cult called the Five.[3]
