Legend

this elfin man was a noted Jedi Knight whose forces were sent to augment those of Lord Hoth in preparation for the Battle of Ruusan. Like his father before him, Farfalla was a noble who joined the Jedi Knights after being recruited by Pernicar's father. Because of his well-manicured appearance and his galloen-like starship, Lord Farfalla was not known as a military threat, and even Lord Hoth despaired upon learning that the future of the Jedi might depend on Farfalla's forces. Despite his reputation, it was Farfalla who warned Lord Kiel Charny of Githany's impending defection to the Dark Side, saving the Jedi Knight from death. Farfalla later saved Charny again, at Ruusan, riding his golden warship into battle of defeat the attacking Sith. His arrival was not welcomed by Lord Hoth, however, who believed Farfalla to be a foppish coward. Nevertheless, Hoth ordered Farfalla and his forces to leave Ruusan as soon as he learned of Lord Kaan's thought bomb, allowing them to escape certain death.
