Annon, Blix
this plump man was a Senator to the Old Republic some 55 years before the Clone Wars. Known for his expensive and opulent tastes, Senator Annon was nevertheless very generous in his support to the Jedi Order, both financially and practically. Thus, he came to believe that he could call on the Order whenever he needed help, as repayment for his generosity. During a mission he undertook at the time, Senator Annon was accompanied by Jedi Master Dooku and his Padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn. Their ship was apprehended by a pirate, who had used the disabled ship of Senator Galim Eddawan as bait. In the ensuing battle, the pirate - who revealed himself to be Lorian Nod - captured Senator Annon and fled into space. Unfortunately for Senator Annon, the strain of being attacked and kidnapped was too much for his aging body. He died of a heart attack shortly after his capture, before Nod could ransom him back to his constituents.
