The Outspoken Realist once had a very successful career as a bounty hunter, but this career was cut short when he fell into a sarlacc pit. TOR eventually escaped the pit, but sustained heavy injuries. Due to the injuries around his neck and mouth, it was said that TOR would never be able to speak again. Determined to once again be able to speak, TOR went through experimental surgery. The doctors warned him that this operation would let him communicate again, but the price was that he would have the voice of a prepubescent teenager. TOR accepted, thinking it a small price to pay for being able to talk once more.
