Legend

this man served as the Regent of the planet Velmor for twenty years, following the subjugation of the planet by the Empire. During this time, Zelor was one of Prince Anod's closest advisors, during his early political training on Velmor. He challenged Luke Skywalker, who was in the guise of Korl Marcus, to a duel, when Luke arrived on Velmor with Prince Denid. Rather than rely on Captain Traal's plans to have Marcus kill Denid, Zelor convinced Prince Anod to do it. Zelor then planned to execute Anod himself. However, in the attempt, Anod was shot and killed by Traal. Zelor himself set out to kill Luke, but was no match for the Jedi's strength and cunning. Zelor was killed in the struggle, shortly after Traal murdered Jedidiah. It was later revealed that Zelor had become greedy, and had set into motion his own plans to eliminate Anod and Denid, hoping to place his own family on the throne.
