Gimlet
this grey-skinned alien, distinguished by his knobbed skull and fan-like mouth, posed a reporter for the Holopix News agency on Challon, during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. As a reporter, Gimlet was able to get close enough to Leia Organa to protect her from an assassination plot. At the time, Gimlet was serving as an assistant to Giles Durane, who had been hired by Bail Organa to train Leia in the use of weapons. After Leia completed her training, Gimlet secretly returned to Challon to ensure her safety. He intercepted Torgas' assassination attempt, but the Sakiyan assassin shot Gimlet in the chest. The small alien died shortly afterward from the wound.
