Typho then became the personal bodyguard and security advisor for Padmé Amidala in 24 BBY when she abdicated the throne and became a Senator ; he inherited the position from his uncle , Quarsh Panaka , who served as Typho ' s mentor for much of his life . Typho quickly fell in love with the Senator , but he knew their social castes were too different for any relationship to form . When Amidala ' s life came under threat in 22 BBY , Typho ' s paranoia of an assassination attempt coinciding with the Senator ' s visit to Coruscant to vote on the Military Creation Act saved her life , when a decoy handmaiden was killed in her place . Typho continued to serve Amidala during the Clone Wars , traveling on several diplomatic missions for her . In 19 BBY , Amidala went to Mustafar to find her husband , Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker — and never returned . A mourning Typho attended her funeral , feeling guilty for having let her go to Mustafar in the first place . He ultimately decided to travel to Coruscant to find her killer and avenge Amidala ' s death , but it was months before he could get leave from his duties . During this time , he worked with former Jedi Ferus Olin against the Empire on Naboo . A year after the Declaration of a New Order , Typho finally made it to Coruscant , and eventually came to the conclusion that Amidala had been " killed " by Darth Vader , Dark Lord of the Sith . Typho lured Vader into a trap and tried to kill him , but the Sith ' s command of the Force was too strong for him , and Vader killed Captain Typho . Biography . Early life . Gregar Typho was born over a decade before 32 BBY on the planet Naboo . He was a stocky Human , powerfully built and very athletic . His uncle , Quarsh Panaka , was a high - ranking officer in the Royal Naboo Security Forces , and Typho hoped to follow in his footsteps and serve as a guard to the planet ' s monarch . He was raised in the shadow of the Royal House of Naboo , and eventually got his chance to join the Security Forces , traveling to a number of offworld academies that Panaka had attended in the years prior , where he was given a rigorous training . He became a Junior Palace Guard , and by 32 BBY had served for a number of years with courage and distinction , despite his youth . Around the same time , Panaka became the head of the Security Forces and personal bodyguard of Queen Padmé Amidala after the death of King Veruna . Six months later , the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo and eventually launched an invasion force . Amidala , a staunch pacifist , ordered that Typho and his peers to stand down and offer no opposition , though many carried out resistance in secret . Panaka and the Queen fled Naboo with the help of Jedi Obi - Wan Kenobi and Qui - Gon Jinn , though they returned with the intention of overthrowing the Trade Federation . While the Gungan species occupied the bulk of the Trade Federation ' s forces at the Battle of the Great Grass Plains , Panaka , the Queen , and the Jedi returned to liberate the capital city of Theed . Typho , still a teenager , fought alongside his uncle , helping to repel the Trade Federation and capture its Neimoidian leaders . He showed courage and tenacity in the line of fire , sustaining many injuries including the loss of his left eye . Because of an accident of genetic programming , he was unable to use an eye cloned from himself , and had to make use with an eyepatch , which limited his vision . Typho gained much notoriety for his efforts in the battle , and when Amidala stepped down as Queen and became the Senator of the Chommell sector in 24 BBY , Typho was appointed as her head of security , earning the rank of captain . Many accused Typho of using his family connections to secure the position , though he had earned it on merit alone : Panaka did not make the decision to select him . Amidala ' s protector . Typho took his duty seriously and proved a diligent security chief , but he quickly grew to love Amidala . Knowing that their social castes were too different for them to ever become lovers , he kept his feeling secret . Amidala trusted Typho completely , though she often ignored his advice and treated him poorly . The former queen ' s term coincided with the Separatist Crisis , and a dangerous time for the Republic . The Confederacy of Independent Systems , led by former Jedi Master Count Dooku , was persuading many systems to secede from the Republic , and although she was relatively new to politics , Amidala became an important figure for the Republic . As a result , Typho felt the likelihood of any assassination attempts would only increase , and went about establishing as stringent security measures as he could . He adopted many of his uncle Panaka ' s most innovative practices , including using Amidala ' s handmaiden s as decoys while she donned the attire of a handmaiden or pilot . In 22 BBY , Palpatine scheduled a vote on the hotly debated Military Creation Act to take place in the Senate two months later . Amidala intended to travel to Coruscant and oppose , though for a time beforehand she returned to her family on Naboo . Typho accompanied her , and got to see much of his uncle , who had retained his position during Queen Jamillia ' s reign . Together , they began planning Amidala ' s travel and security arrangements for the trip to Coruscant ; though the Senator was exasperated by this , as the journey was over a month away , Panaka and Typho believed she could be targeted by those who supported the vote . While spending time together , Typho and Panaka learned that the Trade Federation — who had managed to avoid any real punishment for their activities on Naboo ten years earlier — had thrown their lot in with the Confederacy , as had a number of other commerce guilds . They found Amidala speaking with her sister , Sola Naberrie , and reported the news to her . The group spoke for a while , with both Panaka and Amidala angered by the actions Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray , and with the former concerned that with the Trade Federation and the Separatists , who had used violence before , in cahoots , her safety could be greatly compromised . The usually silent Typho interjected , because he felt that , with Amidala a strong opponent of the proposed Republic military that would clash with the CIS , Dooku might actually consider her an ally . She was angered that Captain Typho would consider her friendly with a man who wished to dissolve the Republic , but when he explained his position properly , she was unable to refute it . Panaka , however , believed that the Senator was likely to be targeted by the Confederacy , even if only to appease her old enemies , the Trade Federation . Amidala was adamant that she would travel to Coruscant anyway , and , knowing she would not be persuaded otherwise , Typho and Panaka left her to continue their security planning . Over a month later , Typho and Panaka approved a plan to transport the Senator to Coruscant . A decoy , one of Amidala ' s handmaidens , would wear her dress garb and take her place aboard the Senator ' s cruiser , while Amidala herself would pilot one of the N - 1 starfighter escorts , along with Typho and Porro Dolphe , who would each fly their own fighters . The plan worked as expected , but there initially seemed to be no danger ; the cruiser landed without incident , and the decoy Senator began to disembark . Typho met with the real Amidala on the landing pad , expressing his apologies for the unnecessary security measures . Just then , however , the cruiser exploded ; Typho and Amidala were caught in the blast and sent hurtling to the ground , but were uninjured . However , the explosion had killed much of the staff and guards aboard the ship , including the decoy Senator , Cordé . Typho and Amidala rushed to check if there were any survivors , though there was none , and the chief of security quickly spirited her away , in case the would - be assassins tried again . The resilient Amidala wanted to address the Senate and vote anyway , and Typho accompanied her and Associate Planetary Representative Jar Jar Binks to the Grand Convocation Chamber . They arrived just as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , who had already pushed the vote back a day in light of the security concerns , mourned her death to the Senate , and although Amidala made a statement about the assassination attempt , the vote did not take place that day . Typho later left the Senator to meet with Palpatine and the Loyalist Committee ; during the meeting , the Senator , who was convinced that Dooku was behind the attack , was ordered by Palpatine to take on two Jedi to provide security and stop any subsequent assassination attempts . Typho went to Amidala ' s apartment to establish the security there , setting up a control center in the lower levels and posting a guard on each floor . Before the Jedi were due to arrive , Typho tried to convince the Senator that the situation was far more dangerous than she realized , to no avail . Typho , Binks , and Amidala greeted the Jedi — Obi - Wan Kenobi and his Padawan , Anakin Skywalker — and he told them of his fears that Amidala was not taking the threat of further attacks on her seriously enough . The captain was relieved to see the Jedi , as he was unsure if his own limited forces could cope with what could happen . After a short discussion between the Senator and the Jedi , Typho informed Kenobi of his security arrangements after the Senator retired for the night , and Kenobi later inspected Typho ' s work for himself . The next attack came during the night : two poisonous kouhuns were infiltrated into Amidala ' s chambers , though the Jedi were able to kill them before the creatures struck . Kenobi and Skywalker then pursued the assassin , Zam Wesell , through the lower levels of Coruscant , though she was ultimately killed by another bounty hunter , who had sub - contracted her . Upon learning of the second attack , the Jedi High Council decided that Amidala should return to Naboo , disguised , along with Skywalker , while a decoy would remain on Coruscant . The Senator grudgingly agreed , and Dormé was selected to act as the decoy . Typho remained on Coruscant at the false Senator ' s side , both to ensure the charade looked as genuine as possible and to offer protection should the assassins strike again . Typho and Dormé saw Amidala and her protector off as they boarded a refugee ship bound for Naboo , before returning to the apartment . Representative Binks would take Amidala ' s seat on the Senate , and Typho acted as his bodyguard during the Gungan ' s address to the Senate . Binks had been taken advantage of by the keen mind of Palpatine ' s aide , Mas Amedda , who tricked him into proposing that the Chancellor be given emergency powers that would allow him to unilaterally pass the Military Creation Act and use a newly discovered clone army from Kamino to attack the Separatist headquarters on Geonosis in the Outer Rim — something which Amidala would have been completely opposed to . Although Typho knew this , he did nothing and allowed Binks to make his motion , which was passed : the clone army was subsequently used in the Battle of Geonosis , beginning the galaxy - wide Clone Wars between the CIS and the Republic . Clone Wars . Typho retained his post for the duration of the Clone Wars , and often accompanied Amidala on journeys in one of her ships . During one such journey , when they were traveling with Jedi Master Yoda on a mission for the Republic , they received a distress signal sent by Jedi Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee from the planet Ilum , which was near to Amidala ' s ship ' s location . Unduli and Offee had been ambushed by Separatist forces while searching for Ilum crystal s on the iceworld , and Yoda felt that if they were not rescued promptly , they would be killed . The Jedi Master suggested that they halt their current mission and travel the short distance to Ilum , though Typho was quick to interject , telling Yoda that they could not risk Senator Amidala ' s life . He also felt the ship was unsuitable for such a search and rescue mission , and that their current mission was far more important . Yoda , however , would not be persuaded , and he claimed that it would be but a slight detour — they could still complete their mission afterwards . Yoda eventually used the Force to affect Typho ' s mind and trick the Naboo man into agreeing with him . Amidala wanted to follow Yoda ' s suggested course of action anyway , so she made no attempts to stop him using the Force to influence the captain . She then ordered Typho to plot the most direct course to Ilum , and they eventually arrived and set down on the planet ' s frigid , icy surface . Yoda ordered Typho , Amidala , and her two droids to remain on the ship while he sought out the two trapped Jedi . Yoda did not return for some time , but Typho and Amidala both kept watch with electrobinoculars . Yoda was supposed to have contacted the ship by that time , and Amidala had a bad feeling about the situation . Speculating that the ship ' s communication array might have been damaged by Ilum ' s harsh winds , he left Amidala to check on it . While he was inside the ship , though , Amidala took her two droids and fled in pursuit of Yoda . They eventually returned , along with Offee and Unduli , and Amidala was unharmed . Later in the war , Typho accompanied Amidala on a diplomatic mission to a backwater world called Bri ' ahl , though a number of clone troopers were also posted on the planet . Amidala was attempting to persuade President Vuul to side with the Republic during the conflict , though the majority of Bri ' ahlians were steadfastly neutral in the conflict . Some rebels , however , had sided with Dooku and hatched a plan to assassinate Vuul and Amidala in the President ' s palace while disguised as clone troopers . At the same time , Amidala ' s two beloved droids , C - 3PO and R2 - D2 , went missing and some of Vuul ' s staff went to look for them . Typho and his own security men learned of the assassination plot , but ultimately did not have to foil it ; although he did not know exactly how , the terrorists had been killed at their forest camp . C - 3PO and R2 - D2 had in fact inadvertently set off a number of explosives in the camp , killing the would - be assassins , and Vuul ' s men soon retrieved them and returned them to Amidala ' s possession . Some time later , Amidala was invited to a reception on Coruscant by a wealthy Senator named Drexx , along with her friends and fellow Senators Mon Mothma and Bail Organa , as well as the latter ' s aide , Sheltay Retrac . Typho accompanied them to the entrance , though he wasn ' t permitted to the reception proper . Amidala had long suspected Drexx of taking bribes from the Separatists , and Typho was worried that she would confront him and put herself in danger . Before they parted , he warned her not to do anything dangerous , though she told him that he worried too much . Neither Amidala nor Retrac heeded his advice , however , and together they procured evidence of Drexx taking a bribe from Passel Argente ' s uncle . The two women later presented the evidence to Typho and Bail Organa , and intended to act on it . In 19 BBY , Typho acted as a chauffeur for the secretly pregnant Amidala , who was spending more time on Coruscant in an effort to reduce Chancellor Palpatine ' s power . Soon thereafter , the Separatists launched a full scale assault on Coruscant , while Typho was with Amidala and her droids in the Senator ' s high - rise apartment . A missile struck the building on their floor , greatly damaging the structure , though no one was injured . Typho wanted to whisk Amidala to safety immediately , but she made him evacuate the building first , saving the lives of many beings . Several days later , the Jedi Temple was attacked and many Jedi wiped out ; almost immediately after , Amidala was visited by the Jedi Obi - Wan Kenobi , one of her close friends . After Kenobi departed , Amidala decided to travel to the planet Mustafar , on a mission so secret even Typho could not accompany her . He attempted to persuade her otherwise , to no avail , though when she informed him that she would be with Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker , her secret husband , he reluctantly abated , believing Skywalker could offer her adequate protection . That was the last time Typho saw Amidala alive . She perished at some point on her mission , and Typho felt personally responsible for her death ; he believed he had failed in his duty , and that he should have been at her side on Mustafar . Distraught , he returned to Naboo to attend her funeral , where she was mourned by the entire planet . After the funeral had ended , he milled around the crowds without aim , dwelling over his past mistakes and wondering how things might have turned out if he had accompanied Amidala . Eventually , he decided to put his self - flagellations behind him and look to the one thing he could do for the late Senator : avenge her . Anakin Skywalker had gone missing after the mission , and reports on Amidala ' s death were quite spotty . Using his rank to gain extra privileges , Typho investigated her death further , though nearly every report told a different story . One thing they were in agreement on , though , was that Amidala had suffered some form of strangulation shortly before she passed away , with damage to her trachea and larynx and a fractured hyoid bone . Strangely , however , there was no damage or bruising to the exterior of her throat , and it was in pristine physical condition . Putting two and two together , Typho concluded that the damage had been inflicted through the Force ; Skywalker , a Force - sensitive , had been with Amidala close to the time of her death , and Typho believed that even if the young Jedi was not personally responsible for her murder , then he was somehow linked . Typho made it his mission to travel to Coruscant , track down Skywalker , learn who had killed Amidala , and avenge her . Before he could do so , however , he had a number of administrative duties to attend to . Working with Olin . A year after the Empire was established , Typho remained with the Naboo Security Forces , working in Keren . He was no friend of the Empire , unlike his Moff - to - be uncle , and didn ' t believe the reports that Padmé had been killed by the Jedi . He worked to set up a spy network to keep an eye on the Imperial occupation , even as the Empire sought to spy on Naboo Royal Security . Six months after Amidala ' s death , Typho would be called upon to assist Ferus Olin in his plan to catch Inquisitor Malorum , and to , at least temporarily , remove the Imperial presence on Naboo . While Olin fought Malorum , Clive Flax and Trever Flume went to work on setting up the Imperial explosives cache to explode and destroy both the Theed Hangar and Imperial headquarters , Typho , with the assistance of the Erased , fought the stormtrooper garrison in the streets of Theed . Seeking Vengeance . Following the Malorum affair , Typho was finally given leave from his duties on Naboo , and he made his way to Coruscant — now restyled as Imperial Center — post haste . He traveled on a " Carrack " - class light cruiser , though Typho was too consumed by his mission to notice or use the privileges allowed to him because of his rank . By the time the cruiser had set down on Coruscant ' s surface , Typho , overwhelmed by the mass of teeming life and existence surrounding him , began to have doubts about the likelihood of him finding Amidala ' s killer among the trillions who inhabited the planet . However , the thought of the late Senator resting uneasily in her grave spurred him on to continue his quest , and he made searching the ruins of the Jedi Temple his first objective . Although the temple ' s ruins had been cordoned off from the public by the Empire , Typho used his rank to get clearance , and he searched the Temple for some time , looking for any scrap of information that could point towards the identity of Amidala ' s killer . However , the Temple Library were mostly destroyed , with both physical and digital information either corrupted or damaged ; despite his skills as a slicer , Typho was able to salvage only a small amount of the data , none of it helpful . Believing he had wasted more precious time , Typho began to leave the ruins , though as he did so he heard the sound of footsteps . Aurra Sing , a notorious bounty hunter , was herself conducting a search , though she did not seem to notice Typho . Deciding that Sing ' s presence was unrelated to his mission and none of his business ; as he prepared to sneak off into the night , she sprang , jumping at Typho and pointing her lightsaber at his throat . Sing questioned Typho , asking him why he was in the Temple and who sent him . He answered truthfully , but knowing that the bounty hunter would kill him once she discerned he was of no use to her , he crushed a datastick he was holding , creating a dazzling light which temporarily blinded Sing . Typho used the momentary advantage to kick Sing ' s lightsaber from her hand and into his , and he was able to use the weapon to gain the upper hand in the fight . Sing ' s incapacitation didn ' t last very long , and she quickly drew a second lightsaber she had been keeping on her person . The two locked blades , though Typho knew that his rudimentary knowledge of the lightsaber would pale in comparison to Sing ' s honed abilities , and he attempted to fall back , swinging the stolen blade wildly until he found himself backed up against a wall . Sing announced that she had come to the Temple in the hopes of finding Jedi Knight Jax Pavan for Darth Vader , and that she would kill Typho . In a last ditch attempt to save himself , the Naboo man feigned a slash with his lightsaber and severed the biocomputer antenna on Sing ' s head — the resulting electromagnetic shock sent her into spasms of pain . Typho was tempted to kill the helpless Sing , but remembering what his uncle Panaka had taught him and what Amidala had stood for , he showed mercy and left her in the Temple while he moved on to pursue another avenue of finding Anakin Skywalker . Typho traveled to the former business complex which housed Coruscant ' s civil service divisions the next day , eventually arranging an appointment with a mid - level Jenet bureaucrat after filing an enormous amount of paperwork . Typho hoped the Jenet would be able to learn if Skywalker still lived ; he knew he ' d be helped in this regard by his knowledge of Jenet greeting customs , which were unlike those of most sentient species : upon meeting , Jenets usually insulted each other . The bureaucrat was impressed by Typho ' s knowledge , and the two spent some time exchanging banter ; when Typho cut to the chase and began his inquiry , however , the Jenet informed him that the Emperor had decreed that looking up information about the Jedi was evil . Typho played the sympathy card , telling the other sentient that the people of Naboo still mourned their former queen ' s death and wanted closure , and the Jenet eventually swayed and agreed to allow Typho to access the Imperial records of all individual Jedi . He found Skywalker ' s entry , which confirmed the young Jedi Knight had perished on Mustafar ; however , no mention was made of Amidala or exactly how Skywalker had perished were present . Typho concluded that Skywalker ' s death had been covered up by someone , and that only someone truly versed in the ways of the Force — perhaps even a Sith — had killed him . After the leaving the civil service complex , he decided that his next course of action would be to learn if any Sith Lords had visited Mustafar on the day of Amidala ' s death . He learned of a Cragmoloid information broker named Boulad ; if anyone could gain access to the Sith ' s travel records , it was him . Typho bribed a Nikto who knew of Boulad ' s location and traveled there , gaining an audience with the infochant after a minimum of fuss . His knowledge of obscure species proving useful once again , Typho first engaged Boulad in a conversation about the Cragmoloid ' s family to endear himself to him , before paying Boulad five thousand credits for the knowledge that a certain Darth Sidious had been on Mustafar that day . Confrontation with a Dark Lord . Typho eventually came to the conclusion that Darth Vader , a Sith Lord and Imperial enforcer , had killed Anakin and Amidala on Mustafar , though he did not know that Vader and Anakin were actually one and the same person . He began to contemplate ways of killing Vader , though came up with none ; the Sith Lord was extremely talented in the ways of the dark side of the Force , and had constant security while on errands for the Empire . Reaching him would be virtually impossible , actually killing him even more so . Typho remembered that Sing had been searching for Jax Pavan on behalf of Vader , and thought that if he could capture Pavan and present him to Vader , he would have a chance to attack the Sith . Typho considered Pavan ' s fate to be a small price to pay for vengeance for Amidala . Eventually , after going through numerous bureaucratic and underworld connections , he was able to trace that Darth Sidious had been present on Mustafar after Amidala had arrived there , and also discovered that Darth Vader had been responsible for her death . By claiming he had captured Pavan , Typho was able to lure Vader to an abandoned warehouse and attempted to assassinate the Sith , but was easily defeated . In his final moments , as he lay dying , Typho claimed that he knew Vader had " killed " Amidala , and took pleasure in the pain that her name caused Vader before he expired . Behind the scenes . Typho was played by Jay Laga ' aia in the movies , and voiced by André Sogliuzzo in the and James Mathis III in the . His first name was unpublished for four years , since his first appearance in " " ( 2002 ) , until publication of " " ( 2006 ) . Continuity . " " states that Typho dies in 19 BBY , yet he appears in " Star Wars Galaxies " , which takes place almost two decades later , sometime following the Battle of Yavin . It should be noted that Typho was added to the game in 2005 , three years before the novel ' s release in 2008 . It should also be noted that in his appearance in " Star Wars Galaxies " , Captain Typho does not appear to have aged at all since his last appearance in as well he is missing his signature eye - patch and instead is wearing a set of anniversary goggles ( a type of eye - wear given for players during the 4th anniversary of " Star Wars Galaxies " ) and you can very clearly see the " injured " eye behind the clear lens ( note : they never modeled any type of eye - patch for any PCs or NPCs within the game ) . However the NPC is very clearly named " Typho . "
