The creative team knew from the start of the series that "Malak" and "Revan" were not the birth names of the characters, and they were able to address Malak's transition to that name in issue #31—Miller personally felt that it was important to show that the two Sith had in fact adopted names other than their originals when they became Darth Malak and Darth Revan.

[118], Dustin Weaver especially enjoyed drawing the duel sequence between Raana Tey and Carrick in Knights of the Old Republic 24: Knights of Suffering, Part 3, the first time Carrick has dueled another lightsaber-wielder in the series. Squint, or rather Alek, informs "Dyre" and Jarael that "Demagol" fell into a sedative-induced coma almost immediately after the Jedi departed Flashpoint, and Adasca is called away by Eejee Vamm to meet another visitor—one who Adasca is surprised to recognize as Lucien Draay.

[33], They're a plague. The pair follow Morne on her mission despite her dislike of them, but the floor collapses underneath them due to explosions from Mandalorian excavations nearby. [20], Days later, Carrick has returned Kun's saber to the Jedi, and in celebration of the anniversary of the day that he and Jarael met, he introduces Jarael to her long-lost parents, who he and Dyre had managed to locate. [38] Jarael masquerades as Celeste Morne on Odryn,[43] and after Vindication, she continues to work alongside Hierogryph and Carrick as they pull off cons.

Miller's wife Meredith helped him develop many of the stats and information needed for the game, and Miller ended up writing the guide's chapters on Mandalorians and the Republic; he used the guide as an opportunity to advance some of the stories that he had not yet had an opportunity to do so with in the comics, such as Haydel Goravvus. Wyrick was raised by the emotionless Iskalloni, robbing him of his social skills and his natural Zeltron empathic abilities; as a result, he survived by learning his captors' surgical techniques and adapting to their lifestyle.
