Jordel Tlan, a male Human, held a prominent position as a high-ranking officer within Synchet Industries. This occurred during the Cold War era, a period of tension between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire. The company, however, ceased operations circa 3648 BBY. Amassing substantial riches, he withdrew from public life and established residence at the Star Cluster Casino located on Nar Shaddaa, attended to solely by droids and one assistant, Netula Pahn. Approximately around 3643 BBY, Cipher Nine sought him out to acquire details concerning Synchet.
Jordel Tlan appears as a non-player character in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game created by BioWare and launched in 2011. Kiff VandenHeuvel provides his voice.
