TORK

Alternate Name(s): none

Actor: unknown

Description: A 7-foot bouncer. [script] Tork is the bouncer in Ackmena’s cantina, performing the unpleasant task of ejecting unruly or inebriated patrons, or ones who can’t seem to find the door at the end of the night. Though gruff and fierce-looking, he is a very devoted friend to Ackmena and cares a great deal for her. Between himself, Ackmena, and Ackmena’s sidekick, they are like a family together.
