Haaran Balmor was a Jedi Master during the days of the Old Republic, and preferred to retire to a quiet, contemplative lifestyle rather one of action and adventure. Living on the planet of Damualer Triac with his second wife Hannah, Haaran was an avid Divoran Holochess player. On Damualer Triac, Haaran was involved in a 40-year marathon of the game with Jedi Master Hart Daele, played by notes, letters, and the occasional telepathic communication. Haaran also enjoyed holographic painting and painted a number of custom game boards.
