Biography . Davu Golec was a Human male , native to the galactic capital world of Coruscant . As an adult , Golec joined the Galactic Republic ' s Ministry of Intelligence , and at some point came to be a friend and associate of Duchess Satine Kryze , leader of the peaceful New Mandalorians on Mandalore . By the start of the Clone Wars — a galaxy - encompassing conflict waged between the Republic and the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems — Golec worked as a Republic intelligence bureaucrat , employed to monitor intercepted transmissions in order to assist the Republic ' s war effort . When the Republic drafted a defense initiative that would send a contingent of clone troopers to the planet Mandalore in order to help combat the threat that the radical Mandalorian splinter group known as the Death Watch posed to the world ' s continuing peace , Golec ' s friend , Duchess Kryze , traveled to Coruscant in order to plead her case against such a move to the Galactic Senate . In the Senate hall , Kryze proclaimed that Republic intervention in Mandalorian affairs would only make the situation on Mandalore worse , but Supreme Chancellor Palpatine presented a holorecording of the New Mandalorian Deputy Minister , Jerec , stating just the opposite and demanding Republic assistance . While Kryze was shocked that her trusted friend would say such things , Golec found the truth : the transmission from Jerec had been edited in order to change its meaning . Realizing the importance of the information he had uncovered , Golec copied the true recording despite not knowing who had altered it in the first place , and arranged to meet with Kryze to deliver the evidence in the hopes of averting further warfare . Golec ' s actions did not go unnoticed ; as he crept into the streets of Coruscant to meet with Kryze , Golec believed he was being followed . When the two met in an alley , he rushed to pass off the datachip to Kryze and urged her to take the evidence before the Senate . Kryze scarcely had time to thank Golec before a blaster bolt fired from the rifle of a Death Watch assassin struck him in the chest , killing him almost instantly . As Kryze drew her own weapon to defend herself against the assailant , a Coruscant Security Force police probe droid came upon the scene and mistaken took Kryze to be Golec ' s killer . Desperate to escape and present the evidence Golec had died to bring her , Kryze fled . She managed to make contact with Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi , who passed the evidence on to Senator Padmé Amidala , and it was she who delivered Deputy Minister Jerec ' s true message to the Senate while Kryze turned herself in . Kryze was vindicated of Golec ' s murder , and the evidence he provided caused the Senate to vote against sending troops to Mandalore . Personality and traits . As a Coruscanti bureaucrat , Davu Golec had never desired to be a hero . He was familiar with the old adage that truth was often the first casualty in war , however , and the knowledge that the government he served was falsifying evidence greatly disturbed him . A supporter of Duchess Satine Kryze and the peaceful New Mandalorian faction which she ruled , Golec was willing to risk his life in order to keep the Republic from invading her world , believing himself to be the only one who could avert another war between the Republic and the Mandalorians . Despite not knowing who had falsified the recording from New Mandalorian Deputy Minister Jerec , Golec mades up his mind to thwart them by delivering the true recording to Kryze .
