Legend

a native of the planet Frego, this man became the leader of the Cobral family's criminal organization when his father died and his younger brother, Rutin, was murdered, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Solan was distinguished from his brother in that he was completely bald, and had a seemingly permanent scowl on his face. It was known that Solan had become furious when Rutin decided to testify against the Cobral family, despite Rutin's obvious desire to leave the criminal underworld. Solan used the impending betrayal of his brother to solidify his position within the family, and got what he wanted through a combination of shrewd dealings and threats. When he learned that his mother, Zanita, had been secretly meeting with Rutin's widow Lena, Solan arranged for the capture of his own mother, then used her as bait to catch Lena. However, the trap failed, and Lena was able to reach Coruscant and testify against the Cobral. Solan and his brother, Bard, were arrested, and the family was removed from power.
