Legend

this Old Republic Senator was one of the first to support Queen Amidala's vote of no-confidence in the abilities of Chancellor Valorum. A Koorivan male, Argente was a tall humanoid with scaly green skin that had yellow coloration. His appointment as a Senator stemmed from his position as the Magistrate of the Corporate Sector during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Despite his position, Argente hated the Republic, and was known for his corrupt nature. He was also quick to blame his peers for his own mistakes. He allied himself with Orn Free Taa and Toonbuck Toora in their opposition to Chancellor Valorum. In the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, Passel Argent was in control of the Corporate Alliance, and threw in his droid armies with Count Dooku and the Separatists. Just prior to the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, Passel Argente and the other leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems were whisked away to Utapau by General Grievous, in order to ensure their safety.
