Legend

this Imperial Moff assumed command of Coruscant's security forces shortly before the Battle of Yavin, after his father - the former commander - was executed for his failures. After witnessing the vengence of Darth Vader first-hand, Kadir decided to join the cadre' of Imperials who supported Grand Moff Trachta and his plans to unseat Emperor Palpatine. He claimed that he did not trust Grand Moff Bartam, and pretended misunderstand the intricate political game that Trachta was playing. However, Kadir was actually playing Trachta against Bartam, with whom Kadir shared a wealth of confidential information. Kadir was chosen, along with Gauer, to personally bring a new squadron of stormtroopers to the Emperor. The troopers - specially conditioned by Trachta to execute the Emperor - were replacements for the troopers lost in an earlier assassination attempt. Palpatine, however, had discerned the assassination attempts through the Dark Side of the Force, and confronted Kadir alone. Using an intense barrage of Force Lightning, Palpatine injured Kadir while Darth Vader executed his troops. Then, Palpatine turned the Force Lightning on Kadir and killed him as well.
