Legend

this Ithorian worked for the Empire as a biologist during the height of the New Order. He found himself "recruited" into Imperial service after his desire to learn everything he could about the Mother Jungle drove him from his herdship and away from Ithor. He was partnered with Dusque Mistflier for much of her career, a position that both felt was due to Tendau's race and Dusque's femininity. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Tendau and Dusque were assigned as the Imperial representatives to a huge convention of zoologists and xenobiologists at The Aerie, on the planet Naboo. It was during this convention that Dusque first met Finn Darktrin, and she began to question her allegiance to the Empire. Unknown to Dusque, that was exactly what Finn wanted her to do. He then manipulated events in such a way that Tendau was arrested on the suspicion that he was an Alliance sympathizer. When a squad of stormtroopers executed Tendau for the briefest of resistance, Finn explained to her that he had been trading information with Bothan spies. Dusque decided to avenge his death by joining the Alliance. It was only months later, after the recovery of a holocron from the ancient jedi ruins on Dantooine, that Dusque discovered the truth of Tendau's death. The fact that Tendau had met with a group of Bothans just before his death was simply a coincidence Finn used to support his backstory.
