Mischa Vorfren was an Anzat male Force-sensitive mercenary, dark side adept and an unwilling slave to Phylus Mon. Like all of Phylus Mon's slaves, Vorfren had an injected explosive that would kill him should Phylus Mon die for any reason. Vorfren knew that the explosive in his chest could be deactivated if hit by an ion weapon, but Phylus Mon did not allow any ion weapons into his ship, the Animiasma.
