Pol Haus Pol Haus was a male Zabrak living on the planet Coruscant who served as a police officer for many decades with the Coruscant Police . When the Galactic Empire was formed in 19 BBY , the planetary police force was renamed the Imperial Sector Police . Haus received the rank of Prefect and was placed in charge of a station house . Biography . The Volette murder . Pol Haus lived on the planet Coruscant during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . Around 40 BBY Haus joined the Coruscant Police as a police officer . He was able to work his way through the ranks and eventually became a well regarded detective . He purposefully dressed in a disheveled way so that people would underestimate him . In 19 BBY the Galactic Empire was formed . As part of the Imperialization efforts , the Coruscant Police was given a new name , the Imperial Sector Police though Coruscant Police , or Constabulary would continue to be used . Haus was promoted to Prefect and placed in charge of the Zi - Kree Sector . It was also at this time that Haus became a founding operative of the newly formed underground resistance movement named Whiplash . Haus assisted in ferreting Jedi and other victims of political persecution off of Coruscant . However , only the Whiplash leader Thi Xon Yimmon was aware of this and Haus remained an unofficial Whiplash operative . Later , in 19 BBY , Haus was sent by the Sector Command to investigate the death of Ves Volette . Though usually the investigation would be left to someone of lower rank , Haus had been sent since Volette had been a Caamasi and the Empire wanted to find a quick resolution to avoid more publicity of the Destruction of Caamas . Upon his arrival with police droids and the Forensics Unit , Haus found that Dejah Duare , Volette ' s girlfriend had discovered the body along with Private investigator Jax Pavan . While the forensics droid s scaured the scene and took evidence , Haus interrogated the witnesses and ultimatly ordered that they all have locator bands attached to them . After that , Haus began receiving reports from various incidents in his area that were the result of Pavan ' s and his team ' s investigation . This included the journalist Den Dhur impersonating a police officer , and an information broker named Spa Fon who accused the team of threatening him and attacking his employees . Haus ignored the first two incidents . However , later his officers responded to a complaint from a local Holo House arcade claiming that two humanoid females were destroying the place while fighting . Haus noted that the locator band indicated one that Pavan and his team were near the area . Annoyed , Haus and a detachment of officers in three police speeders caught up to and confronted the group . Haus while more annoyed than angry , never - the - less informed Paven that he was becoming a thorn in his side and warned the team to cease causing problems or be arrested . With this , Haus and his squads left the area . Though Haus continued to investigate the Vollete murder , he was unable to make any headway . A short time later , Haus received a request from Pavan to meet him and his team at the residence of Baron and Baroness Vlaçan and Kirma Umber . Annoyed but curious , Haus agreed and arrived with a droid assistant at the same time as Pavan and his team . Pavan explained that he had discovered who had killed Vollete . He revealed that several witnesses had seen Kirma Umber near the Vollete ' s home the night of the murder . Kirma admitted that she had been there but only to confront Vollete about Vlaçan Umber ' s attraction to Vollete ' s partner , Duare , and that upon leaving the residence , Vollete had still been alive . It was then that the Umber 3PO unit admitted that it had been he who had killed Vollete . The droid had been in service to the Umber family for a long time and , seeing her distressed state , had followed Kirma the night of the murder . After her confrontation , the droid had attempted to confront Vollete about the pain being caused to Kirma . However , being unable to reason with Vollete , the droid proceeded to kill him seeing it as the only way to follow its programing and protect its owners . After this revelation , the droid wiped its own memory and processing unit , effectively self destructing . With this turn of events , Haus became frustrated as he was now unable to make an arrest and would have a difficult time convincing his superiors that a droid had killed the artist . Duare suggested to him that he arrest someone who had been able to elude conviction in another crime and thereby give Vollete ' s death meaning . Haus agreed and had his droid assistant issue the orders to arrest several wanted persons , bringing the matter to a close . Helping Jax Pavan . After the Vollete murder , Haus began using Pavan and his team to gain intelligence on various crimes . In exchange , Haus agreed to ignore the gaps in the team ' s personnel histories and some of their extra legal activities . In 18 BBY , Haus began investigating a large increase of pure spice in the Zi - Kree Sector which he believed was under the control of Sol Proofrock the Hutt . He believed that the murder of a spice trader , Bal Rado was related and so requested information from Pavan ' s team . They uncovered that Rado ' s supply had dried up and that he had covered up that fact to his buyer who they confirmed as Proofrock . Rado had revealed his dilemma to a smuggler named Droo Wabbin who had in turn informed Proofrock . The team also discovered that within a day of that , Rado had been found dead and Wabbin had received a large sum of credits . However the group did not have any proof and Haus voiced his displeasure over their effectiveness as he had several complaints and dead bodies associated with their intelligence gathering . Before Haus could continue , however , Dejah turned on her Zeltron pheromones and began flirting with him . Haus , blushing , relented and accepted the summary of the information the team provided for him . He often tolerated the small offenses Pavan and his group committed since they usually provided him more results than his underlings . But when Inquisitor Probus Tesla was supposedly killed by a Force - sensitive fugitive , Haus was ordered by Darth Vader to capture the fugitive . He sought the help of Pavan ' s unique talents , letting him know that he already figured out Pavan was a Jedi in hiding . He explained that he harbored no thought of delivering Kaijin Savaros to Vader , but instead wanted to help him escape off world . Not knowing whether he was to be trusted , Pavan spoke with Whiplash leader Thi Xon Yimmon , who assured him Haus was completely trustworthy . He also learned that Haus was one of the original operatives of Whiplash . It was at that time that Haus was suspected by Darth Vader of being a member of the Whiplash underground movement . However , Haus was able to assist Pavan in escaping Vader ' s clutches and fleeing Coruscant . Haus remained undetected by Vader and stayed in his post as a police prefect . Undermining the Empire . After Pavan left Coruscant , Haus fully committed himself to Whiplash . Between the reports Haus received from police patrols , reports from other prefects and their districts , and his own network of informants throughout the police and the Imperial Security Bureau , Haus was able to track the movements of security personnel , the Inquisitorius , Darth Vader , and to a certain extent , the Emperor himself . This placed him in an ideal position to be in charge of security and intelligence Whiplash . Haus was able to warn them several times of impending raids by Imperial forces and eventually moved the group ' s headquarters into an old maglev train that was out of service but continued to run its rounds . When Whiplash leader Thi Xon Yimmon was captured , Paven returned to Coruscant . Haus intercepted him and Pavan ' s droid I - 5YQ at the spaceport and took them maglev headquarters . There , the Whiplash Council debated whether or not to attempt to rescue Yimmon which they eventually decided against . However , Pavan disagreed . Pretending to be an Ubese merchant , Pavan visited Haus in his office and they left for the cover of the Ploughtekal Market . There Pavan revealed his plans to rescue Yimmon to which Haus agreed to remain silent on . Haus also gave Pavan a police lieutenant ' s uniform to allow Pavan unlimited access to his offices should Pavan need to visit him again . Later , Haus received information that the Emperor was visiting his villa at the Western Sea . Haus , worried that fellow Whiplash operative Tuden Sal would attempt to assassinate the Emperor resulting in a brutal crackdown on Whiplash , decided to keep the information quiet . However , Sal found out about the Emperor ' s plans and confronted Haus who admitted he had kept quiet to protect Whiplash . Believing Haus was now under suspicion , Sal told Haus he was no longer part of Whiplash . Though Haus left at Sal ' s demand , he continued to believe that attempting to attack the Emperor would be a fatal mistake . To that end , he had several private meetings with poetess Sheel Mafeen , a fellow Whiplash operative . Mefeen provided Haus with Sal ' s plans to attack the Emperor . Despite having warned Sal repeatedly and yet promising to not interfere , Haus decided to arrest Sal to prevent the attack from taking place . Haus called in a tactical unit and informed them that they were to raid a dangerous criminal headquarters . Together with the tactical unit and his lieutenant , Kalibar Droosh , Haus pretended to follow Mafeen to the platform of Whiplash ' s maglev train though he and Mafeen had already discussed the plan . However , the maglev train never arrived . Haus realized that Sal had mislead Mafeen as well and already suspected Haus was going to attempt to stop him . The tactical unit under Sergeant Amry and Lieutenant Droosh found an abandoned maglev car . Alarmed , Haus ordered everyone to leave the area but not before the train car exploded , injuring several officers . Fearing the worst , Haus speed towards the Emperor ' s villa only to find that Whiplash had already attempted and failed to kill the Emperor . Though turned away by ISB security personnel , Haus saw the bodies of Whiplash operatives and discovered that most of the Whiplash council and many of their top operatives were dead . Haus returned to the scene of the blown maglev train where the Forensics Unit was sifting through the debris . Haus began searching for the remainder of the Whiplash train , discovering it further down the tracks . Upon entering it , he found and confronted Sal who was hiding in his room . While Sal voiced his disgust at Haus as well as himself , Lieutenant Droosh had secretly followed Haus and surprised both men . Droosh revealed to Haus that he had suspected the prefect of strange activity for some time and would take him into custody to be turned over to the ISB . Before he could do so , however , Sal shot and killed Droosh but received a fatal wound himself . Sal told Haus to hide the evidence before dying . Together with Mafeen , Haus retrieved vital data from the train and they disposed of it in the lowest levels before they reported to Pavan what had occurred . Together , they were determined that Whiplash would survive and set about rebuilding the resistance network . Personality and traits . Pol Haus had pale skin , golden eyes and no facial tattoos , which was unusual for a Zabrak . Though Haus achieved a high rank in the police force , he frequently dressed in a shabby manner and purposefully took on a dull attitude , traits he had developed while a detective . This caused many to underestimate him and allowed him to uncover more than he usually would have . In reality Haus had both a quick mind and strong sense for situations that were amiss . As prefect of the Zi - Kree Sector during the early years of the Empire , Haus walked a tight rope of dedication to his friends and the Whiplash resistance , his responsibilities as a police officer , and the loyalty demanded of the Imperial government . Though not always apparent , Haus worked tirelessly to protect Whiplash from the Imperials and even from themselves . At times this caused his friends to doubt his loyalty to them as he would at times appear to change sides , take actions against Whiplash , or withhold information from them . For the Imperials , Haus was a questionable ally . Though he came under suspicion by Darth Vader , in the end there was never proof of Haus ' deception .
