Biography . Micha Evon was a human male who was a Captain in the Alliance to Restore the Republic . He founded the Sixty - First Mobile Infantry , more commonly known as Twilight company , some time before the Galactic Civil War and led them through many battles . The Twilight soldiers came to nickname him Micha " Howling Mad " Evon , or Howl for short , because of his unique ideas . Twilight company had two ships , the CR90 corvette Thunderstrike and the Braha ' tok - class gunship Apailana ' s Promise . At some point , Twilight company was recruiting on Veron and a bounty hunter called Brand joined with a bounty on Evon . She smuggled her kit onto the " Thunderstrike " . In the Battle of Allst Prime , Twilight company ' s Forward Air Control officer Cait was killed and Evon had to take her place directing the company ' s two X - wings . He then went with Brand to the Governor ' s office and Brand killed Governor Magé . Brand then took the opportunity to get her bounty and pointed her blaster at Evon . However Evon was smarter than she thought and saw this coming . He continued as if nothing had happened and told her what he knew of her back story . He then offered Brand a chance to stay in Twilight company of which she accepted . Evon experienced many things being a captain . During an open recruit on Demiloch , an Imperial Spy pretending to sign up shot him and Lieutenant Sairgon had to call it off early . Evon had woken up two days later to be incensed of what Sairgon had done . At another point , Twilight Company faced a crippling defeat at Magnus Horn and the Alliance High Command attempted to reassign the soldiers . Evon fought to keep the company together and saved it from decimation . Evon led them in the advancement into the Mid Rim , on planets such as Phorsa Gedd and Bamayar , and in the Mid Rim Retreat where they would assist the Alliance Fleet s withdrawal from the mid rim . In 3 ABY , Twilight company launched a campaign on Haidoral Prime where they defeated the forces in the capital Haidoral Administrative Center One . In the campaign , Brand , Sergeant Hazram Namir , the Besalisk Gadren and the imperial defector Charmer infiltrated the Governor ' s mansion and extracted the defecting Governor Everi Chalis . Chalis offered to help the Alliance with her knowledge on the workings of the imperial war machine . Although almost all of the Twilight members doubted her , Evon saw her as a chance . Chalis supplied valuable information during the Coyerti campaign on Coyerti s main distillery of which Brand , Namir , Gadren and Haidoral recruit Roach destroyed . Following the campaign , the company was attacked in by an Imperial Destroyer and retreated only to be attacked again in the Enrivi system and Chonsetta system . The " Thunderstrike " was being tracked through a leakage from the ships Hyperdrive and it desperately needed repairs . Evon and the officers had a meeting on how they would get the supplies for repairing the " Thunderstrike " and Chalis helped them plan a Raid on an Imperial heavy freighter of which they carried out successfully with the loss of two Sergeant s Fektrin and Ajax . The " Thunderstrike " got the leakage repaired and Evon got permission for the the " Thunderstrike " and the " Apailana ' s Promise " to rendezvous to a flotilla in the Elochar sector where the " Thunderstike " would get more repairs . Whilst the " Thunderstrike " was at the flotilla , Evon and Chalis were invited to Echo Base on Hoth and they took Namir and Twilight soldier s Roja and Beak with them . They went to the base and met with General Philap Bygar who showed them to the Alliance High Command . There Evon , Chalis and Bygar attended a strategy conference focussed on Chalis ' s knowledge whilst Namir and the other two helped around the rest of the base . Shortly after the conference , the empire discovered the base and launched an attack . They deployed All Terrain Armored Transport s onto the ground to wreck havoc on the outside and destroy the Deflector shield generator . Evon was injured during the evacuation and Chalis could not get him out without help . Namir , Roja and Beak came and attempted to help them when Darth Vader with his troopers . Namir , Roja and Beak fired at Vader but the Sith was too powerful for them and bisected Beak before deflecting Roja ' s grenade and knocking Namir unconscious . Roja was killed and Evon died during the fight . Namir and Chalis barely escaped Hoth and when reuniting with the rest of Twilight Company , they put on a funeral for Evon . Personality and traits . Micha Evon was a mystery to the other members of Twilight Company . Sergeant Fektrin believed he was a teacher before the war . But only Lieutenant Sairgon knew of Evon ' s past , being very close to the man . Evon did many things for Twilight Company . Following a crushing defeat at Magnus Horn , Evon fought to keep the company together when the Alliance High Command tried to reassign them . When Hazram Namir first met Evon , the man was trying to recount past memories and managed to remember his first schoolyard crush , a Twi ' lek girl named Iania . During Howl ' s funeral , Twitch recounted her experience with him on Chenodra where the man started talking to her about the buildings .
