Legend

the true son of Emperor Palpatine, Triclops is a three-eyed mutant whose third eye is located on the backside of his head. He has white, unruly hair, and his temples are scarred from years of forced shick treatments. The Empire considers him insane, and a threat to the Empire and the galaxy if he ever becomes Emperor himself. So Palpatine banished him to the spice mines of Kessel, where Trioculus cruelly abused him while plotting to take Triclops' place as Palpatine's son. Triclops developed a pattern of evil dreams at some point, and some of his dreams dealt with the development of new superweapons. Since tapping Trioculus as the false son of the Emperor, the Empire keeps Triclops alive in a hidden asylum on the planet Duro, working to reprogram his mind as well as to steal the information from his dreams. The Empire routinely denied the existence of a son of Palpatine, until Trioculus claimed he was the Emperor's son and assumed rulership of the Empire. Triclops' third eye emits an hypnotic pulse. He has always despised the Empire, and his hatred of it helped him resist the reprogramming he received on Duro. In case he ever escaped, the Imperial implanted a special device in one of his molars. It was attached to his brain, and could send signals to any nearby probe droids, detailing the fantastic creations of his dreams.
