Legend

this man was one of the many Senators who served the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Viento was distinguished by his well-groomed appearance, including eyebrows that curved upward into points at his temples, and a beard that was little more than a black stripe down his chin. His skin was quite pale, but was always flawless with make-up. Unknown to many, Senator Viento was under the protection of Jedi Master K'kruhk. This proved a minor deterent to Quinlan Vos, who traveled to Coruscant to assassinate Viento in order to solidify his position with Count Dooku. Dooku had become tired of Viento's schemes, especially when he discovered that Viento had been using his association with Dooku to further his own ends. Quin, for his own part, believed that Viento was the mysterious second Sith who had appeared after the Battle of Geonosis. Jedi Master K'kruhk and the former Jedi struggled briefly, but Quinlan was able to kill Viento before K'kruhk could stop him. An investigation into Viento's death revealed that the Senator had been behind several plots to sabotage the starships of other Senators who were loyal to the Republic and the Jedi Knights, pinning him as a supporter of the Separatists.
