Legend

this mutant human claimed to be the banished son of the late Emperor Palpatine. His mutation is manifested in the presence of a third eye in the center of his forehead. This third eye has hypnotic powers. As a child, he was ridiculed by the other schoolchildren on home world of Kessel, and he became obsessed with exacting revenge on them. He studied a great deal of the history of the Imperial war machine, and became an expert on Imperial military tactics. He grew to become a ruthless leader, cruel and evil in his treatment of others. He was serving as the Supreme Slavelord of the Kessel spice mines when Grand Moff Hissa began to cultivate a friendship with him, in an effort to prepare him as a replacement for Triclops, Palpatine's true mutant son. His trusted droid, Emdee-5, had implanted a cybernetic device in his body that would allow him to created simulated Force lightning, giving the impression that Trioculus was gifted with the Force, even though he had no sensitivity whatsoever. When he tried to bargain with Zorba the Hutt for Princess Leia's life, Zorba captured him and froze him in carbonite. Supreme Prophet Kadann recovered a fake, frozen form of Trioculus and vaporized it, thinking that he had killed the pretender. However, Zorba kept the real Trioculus on board the Zorba Express, where it was recovered by the Grand Moffs near Tatooine. He was about to marry Princess Leia, who had been taken from Zorba along with Trioculus, but Han Solo and Luke Skywalker replaced her with a replica droid. The droid fatally wounded him during the wedding ceremony, and he died shortly after.
