Legend

this noted Imperial spy, native to the planet Quian, was the son of New Republic Admiral Karin Orlan. Benald received his education on Marngar III, at the Thene campus of the Imperial University on the planet. He graduated with honors, but initially took a job as a clerk for Galaxy Tours before becoming an informant for the Empire. He was so dedicated to the New Order that he turned his own father into the Imperial authorities for sympathizing with the Alliance. His father was later executed, after the Empire learned that his mother had defected to the Alliance and was a member of their command structure. Benald himself showed no remorse or compassion for his parents, believing them to be traitors to the Empire even in the wake of the Battle of Endor. For his parts in the deaths of his family and several other Republic agents, Benald was a wanted man.
