Ortosin was sent by his Master Darth Skotia to Korriban to issue an ultimatum to Zash's new apprentice. Ortosin threatened the apprentice not to travel to the Empire's capital city on Dromund Kaas but the apprentice refused to be intimidated. Having decided to introduce Ortosin to the Dashade Khem Val, one of Ortosin's cohorts became frightened as he heard about the Dashade's dangerous nature of devouring Force-sensitives and spit out their bones. Ortosin in return attacked the apprentice along with two other thugs but was defeated and killed.
