Legend

this man, once a prisoner of the Absolutes on his homeworld of New Apsolon, was part of a covert group of Workers which plotted to assassinate Roan, some nine years before the Battle of Naboo. During his imprisonment, Lenz had been injected with an incapacitating drug that left his mind open to the demands of the Absolutes. However, repeated injections left severe muscular degeneration on one side of his body, giving him a pronounced limp. It was Lenz who discovered that the Absolutes had re-formed under new leadership, in an effort put an end to the Workers. He then took command of the Workers in an effort to discover the intentions of the new Absolutes and eliminate the threat they posed. He was reluctant to accept the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but was forced to realize that the Jedi had abilities his Workers did not. Lenz helped them meet with Mota, who supplied them with speeders and probe droids to track Balog. However, it was Mota who later provided information to the Jedi that Lenz had been involved in reprogramming the probe droids to avoid attacking Balog. Lenz, for his part, admitted that he was uninvolved with the reprogramming. He did explain to the Jedi that his name was on the list of Absolute supporters that Oleg had in his possession when he was killed, shot by probe droids that had been programmed by Irini. Lenz had, at one time, been interrogated by the Absolutes, and had provided information to them in order to survive. When this information, along with the fact that he had been working with Irini, were revealed to the public, Lenz was arrested and held for questioning.
