Moorint was a male Twi'lek (refer to male gender) who held the position of Scout Chief for the Pilgrims residing in Kalikori village. This village was located on the planet of Tython. His service occurred during the Cold War period, a time of tension between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. As a proficient tracker, Moorint functioned as the lieutenant to Matriarch Sumari during the conflict against Tython's native Flesh Raiders. Following Sumari's death from illness, he continued his loyal service under Sumari's daughter, Ranna Tao'Ven. However, his allegiance shifted when the Dark Jedi Bengel Morr, who was manipulating the Flesh Raiders, offered a peace agreement. As part of this agreement, Moorint captured the Jedi Master Orgus Din and handed the Human over to Morr. Despite this, Moorint and the villagers were unsuccessful in capturing Din's apprentice, but they were ultimately forgiven by the Jedi. Moorint and his community remained on Tython alongside the Jedi Order as the galaxy was consumed by renewed war.
Moorint, a male Twi'lek, was among the many who joined the Pilgrims. This religious group was established by Matriarch Kolovish on the planet of Ryloth amidst the Great Galactic War between the Republic and the Sith Empire. As the planet's leaders started to discriminate against the group due to their religious beliefs, Kolovish guided the Pilgrims to various Twi'lek colonies. Moorint became a member during this time, sometime before the Pilgrims discovered the Deep Core planet of Tython, the original home of the Jedi Order. However, given that the Jedi had only recently rediscovered the world the year before, the Senate denied the group settlement rights, but the Pilgrims refused to leave. In the Tythos Ridge mountains, near where the new Jedi Temple was under construction in 3650 BBY, the group founded the village of Kalikori in the small valley where they had arrived.

During the subsequent seven years of the Cold War, the Pilgrims defended themselves against attacks from the Flesh Raiders, the planet's hostile natives, and Moorint rose to the position of Scout Chief for the village. His scouts gathered intelligence on the natives' activities, collaborating with the Pilgrim militia captain Bashenn to bolster the village's defenses. Moorint quickly accumulated experience and knowledge regarding the Flesh Raiders' strategies and movements. Kolovish stepped down at some point during the Cold War, and Moorint served her successor, Sumari, as the Matriarch's lieutenant alongside Sumari's daughter, Ranna Tao'Ven. The Jedi Order was prohibited by their Council from actively assisting the villagers to respect the Senate's wishes, which fueled a deep-seated resentment towards the Order among the villagers.
Around 3643 BBY, the Flesh Raiders began to move in greater numbers against both the Jedi Order and the villagers. Moorint's scouts detected sounds of conflict originating from the nearby Tythonian Gnarls region. They witnessed a Flesh Raider invasion force being repelled by the Jedi after their commander, the Dark Jedi Callef, was killed by a young Jedi apprentice, and the passageway they were using to enter the Gnarls was sealed. Shortly afterward, the Jedi Master Orgus Din dispatched the apprentice—now his official Padawan—to meet with the Matriarch and gather information about the Flesh Raiders from the villagers.
However, Sumari had recently become ill, and her daughter assumed more and more of her mother's responsibilities to assist her. The Matriarch was forced to retire early into the conversation, prompting Moorint and Tao'Ven to take over and explain Sumari's offer: if the apprentice addressed the Flesh Raiders' weapons, the villagers would share their knowledge of the natives' movements with the Jedi. Tao'Ven desired the Padawan to retrieve the weapons for the villagers, but Moorint argued that sabotaging the weaponry and inflicting casualties on the enemy would be more effective. The apprentice ventured into the cave system known as the Upper Hollows in the Tythos Ridge to recover the weapons and successfully rescued an astromech droid named T7-O1 in the process. In return, Moorint revealed that his scouts had observed significant activity near the ancient Jedi temple Kaleth.
Leveraging the Scout Chief's information, the apprentice investigated and engaged with Force-sensitive Flesh Raiders. As the Jedi Order discovered that Din's former student, Bengel Morr, had become a Dark Jedi and was leading the natives, they initiated war against the Flesh Raiders with the assistance of Moorint's scouts. Using intelligence gathered by the scouts to pinpoint one of the Flesh Raiders' command bases, a team of Jedi Masters and Knights attacked the compound after Din's apprentice disabled the base's shield generator. Despite the Padawan saved the village from a surprise attack, Moorint and the other villagers harbored resentment towards the Jedi and seized an opportunity to protect themselves at the Order's expense when Morr presented them with an offer: deliver Din to him, and they would be safe from harm.

By transmitting a false distress signal, the villagers lured Din and his student back to the village, where Din was captured by Morr's forces. However, Morr altered the terms of their agreement and demanded the life of Din's new apprentice as well, compelling Moorint and two other villagers named Eseni and Saylew to attempt to kill the Padawan upon the young Jedi's arrival. The newly appointed Matriarch Tao'Ven, whose mother had passed away before Morr approached the village, tried to prevent Moorint, Eseni, and Saylew from killing the apprentice, giving the Jedi time to persuade the villagers with the Force to leave peacefully. The Padawan proceeded to defeat Morr and rescue Din, ending the conflict with the Flesh Raiders by eliminating their leader. At the apprentice's urging, the Order did not pursue any conflict with the village over its betrayal and instead began to collaborate more closely with Moorint and the other Pilgrims. With the limitations imposed by the Council relaxed, the Jedi and the Pilgrims coexisted peacefully on Tython as the galaxy plunged into renewed war.
Moorint, a yellow-skinned Twi'lek male with gray eyes, was deeply protective of his people and loyal to the Matriarch. However, years of battling the Flesh Raiders instilled in him a profound hatred for the natives, and he believed that striking against one's enemy was preferable to strengthening oneself. Resentment towards the Jedi motivated Moorint and the villagers to sacrifice Orgus Din and his apprentice, but the Scout Chief did not relish betraying the Jedi who had aided his people. He was also a skilled scout and tracker, attaining the position of Scout Chief in his village and leading the Pilgrims' scouts at the Matriarch's direction.
Moorint's first appearance was in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game launched by BioWare and LucasArts on December 20, 2011. He features in the Prologue of the Jedi Knight storyline on Tython, appearing in several cutscenes throughout various missions. In the mission "High-Tech Savages," Moorint suggests that the player destroy the weapons cache, a dark side option, while Tao'Ven requests that the player recover the weapons for the villagers (the light side option). Moorint can later be killed in "Dark Temptations" along with Eseni and Saylew for dark side points, while the light side option involves using the Force to persuade the villagers to leave peacefully. This article assumes that the player consistently chooses the moral light side options as a Republic Jedi Knight character, and therefore assumes that Moorint and the others survive.
