Legend

a native of the planet Kuat, Melvar was a former Imperial Navy General who aligned with the Warlord Zsinj shortly after the Empire's defeat at Endor. He was one of what many New Republic Intelligence officers called "patriotic psychopaths," those Imperial officers so dedicated to the Empire that they became unstable and had to be removed from power before they could hurt their subordinates. His fanatic support of the Empire impressed Zsinj, who took him under his wing after Melvar was kicked off the Destabilization task force he was worked on because of his ardor for the Empire. Later, Melvar had platinum blades implanted in his fingers, in place of his fingernails. He took some time to get used to them, as evidenced by the amount of scarring which was present on his face. Melvar was killed on Dathomir by Gethzerion when she used the Dark Side of the Force to eliminate an entire platoon of Imperial stormtroopers and their officers, who were poised to bring Han Solo to Zsinj.
