In 22 BBY , he was approached by a woman who identified herself as " Veré " , who wished to be married to a man identified as " Set " . Agolerga agreed to perform the ceremony , and did so at Varykino , Lake Country . The young couple insisted that their union be kept a secret , and so Agolerga kept only limited records of it . Biography . Maxiron Agolerga was the Pontifex of the Brotherhood of Cognizance , an arcane religious order of approximately twenty members that resided in Naboo ' s mountains . Agolerga counted among his friends the Naberrie family , and in 22 BBY , he was approached by the droids R2 - D2 and C - 3PO , who were presenting a private holographic message . Agolerga accepted the message , which contained an image of a young woman who was requesting that he perform a secret marriage . The Pontifex was surprised by the request , as no member of the Brotherhood had presided over a marriage for 300 years , since civil ceremonies had become popular during the reign of King Narmlé . Agolerga accepted the task , and donned his holy purple robes , before the two droids led him to a Gondola Speeder , and took him to Varykino , an estate on the other side of the Lake Country . There , the Pontifex met the young couple , who identified themselves as " Veré " and " Set " , named for the fabled Veré and Set , lovers in an old Futhork legend . After a brief ceremony , Agolerga pronounced the couple husband and wife . Before he departed Varykino , " Set " instructed the Pontifex not to tell anyone of their union , and so the only record Agolerga maintained of their matrimony was kept on a scroll in the Brotherhood ' s archives . Agolerga later recorded the event once again , this time in a databook . When it was learned that the people he had wed were Senator Padmé Amidala and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker , he passed the information onto Amidala ' s niece , Pooja Naberrie . The information , however , had not been kept as much of a secret as Agolerga thought , as both a member of the civil clergy and Captain Quarsh Panaka of the Royal Naboo Security Forces had discovered it , and seen fit to inform Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , who used the information to bend Skywalker to his will in 19 BBY . Personality and traits . Despite the fact that he had been summoned to perform a wedding he knew nothing about , Agolerga was willing to take part in the ceremony .
