Legend

this man was the head of the Empire's Intelligence organization for many years, having rising through the ranks with the Old Republic's Office of Analysis and the Senate Bureau of Intelligence. Many who met him remarked on the somewhat inhuman gaze he had. Armand was known to a great deal of people for his ability to ferret out and destroy a cell of Alliance supporters, whether they actually supported the Alliance or not. He was one of the first Imperial officers alerted to the theft of the plans to the first Death Star, and dispatched his daughter, Ysanne, to Darkknell to retrieve them. Note that the Star Wars Databank claims that Ysanne was dispatched toDespayre to recover the plans. His hope was that she would be killed in the attempt, removing any possible threat to his position. Unfortunately, Ysanne survived the mission, but failed to recover the datacards containing the plans. She also figured out why Armand sent her, and was so angry that she implicated Armand in the original theft. She also implicated Armand in the bombing of the Treitamma Political Center, claiming that he did it to kill Arrianya Bel Iblis so that Garm Bel Iblis would be free to join the Alliance. Ysanne then called in Imperial Security, and had Armand arrested and executed for treason.
