Mola Haxtor was a Human female geneticist and scientist who studied the Rakghouls on Taris during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire. During the conflict, she was captured by the Empire and forced to release all her secrets of the plague under torture by Sith interrogators. While tortured, her cell was visited by an enforcer of Darth Gravus, who made her reveal information she had uncovered about the Nekghoul variant and a Jedi Master, Sulan, who was trying to shepherd them toward the light side of the Force.
