Legend

this man was one of the Senate Guards, serving under Commander Zalin Bey during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Isaru and his partner, Sagoro Autem, were assigned to investigate the murder of Jheramahd Greyshade, allowing Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker to protect Simon Greyshade. Obi-Wan discovered that Isaru was quite sensitive to the Force, and Isaru revealed that he had been tested but was considered too old at two years of age to be trained. As the investigation proceeded, revealing that Greyshade's killer was Sagoro's older brother, Venco Autem, Isaru had to struggle to keep his personal feelings out of the investigation. He reluctantly supported Zalin Bey's order for Sagoro to leave the investigation, knowing that it was best for Sagoro's career. When the investigation was completed, after Sagoro was forced to shoot and kill Venco to protect Simon Greyshade, Isaru found himself between a rock and a hard place. Sagoro was his best friend, but Sagoro also planned to allow his son Reymet to flee Coruscant. Reymet would have been imprisoned for providing Sagoro's authorization codes to Venco, who used them to gain access to the Senate Rotunda. Isaru had planned to arrest Reymet, but was forced to arrest Sagoro instead. During the height of the Clone Wars, Omin was part of a Guard detachment that was assigned to protect Senator Bail Organa. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Isaru learned that his old friend Sagoro was on Coruscant, attending the ceremonies that announced the formation of the Imperial Fleet. When he learned that Sagoro had been targetted for arrest, Isaru took a chance and went to Sagoro's apartment to tell his friend to flee the planet before he was captured. When questioned about his motives by Sagoro, Isaru claimed that he was unable to reconcile serving in the new Imperial armed forces, and that his loyalties remained with his friends. Unfortunately, Isaru was confronted by Darth Vader shortly afterward, and the Dark Lord of the Sith was not happy that Sagoro had escaped. In his anger, Vader cut Isaru down with his lightsaber, ending his life with one swift stroke.
