Jaset, Bal
this Tapani Sector noble was the High Lord of House Melantha during the height of the New Order. He had formerly served as a Court Advisor to Emperor Palpatine during the last years of the Old Republic, and took his position as House ruler ten years before the Battle of Hoth. He was best known for his romantic liaisons, having sired more than thirty bastard children and taking innumerable lovers during his short career as High Lord. He gained a great deal of political and military support from Emperor Palpatine, which allowed Jaset to begin working to surpass House Mecetti as the dominant House in the Great Council.
