Wynn Dorvan Wynn Dorvan was a Human male who served as a member of the second Galactic Alliance Triumvirate and later , as the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance . Dorvan began his career as a mid - level bureaucrat in the early years of the New Republic , where his honest nature earned him the trust and respect of New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo . In the aftermath of the Second Galactic Civil War , Dorvan came to the attention of the newly elected Chief , Natasi Daala , and accepted a position in her administration . Impressed with his efficiency , Chief Daala eventually promoted Dorvan to be her Chief of Staff . However , in 44 ABY , amid Daala ' s handling of a very public stand off with the New Jedi Order and her brutal methods in dealing with galaxywide slave uprisings , Dorvan began to reconsider his position in her administration . As Dorvan drafted his resignation , however , the acting Grand Mastership of the Jedi Order passed from the easily controlled Kenth Hamner to the more martial Barabel Jedi Master Saba Sebatyne , who quickly acted to neutralize the threat Daala posed to the galaxy by staging a coup against her . In place of the Office of the Chief of State , the Jedi Order created a ruling Triumvirate to govern the Alliance , representing the Order , the military and the Senate respectfully . Grand Master Sebatyne refused Dorvan ' s resignation and he initially stayed on to act as her political advisor , before being promoted to act as a member of the Triumvirate along with Sebatyne and Senator Haydnat Treen , in lieu of General Merratt Jaxton . When the Order withdrew from the Triumvirate , it was widely expected that Dorvan would be elected Chief of State , however , Klatooinian Senator Padnel Ovin was elected as interim Chief of State due to his lack of political saavy which made him an ideal puppet . Ovin retained Dorvan as Chief of Staff and , realizing that something was afoot in the Senate , they allied with Admiral Nek Bwua ' tu and Eramuth Bwua ' tu in a secret club that could root out the conspiracy in the government . They discovered that a majority of the newly - elected members of the Senate were in fact members of the Lost Tribe of Sith and that they were planning a covert takeover of the Galactic Alliance . Dorvan assisted Han Solo in saving his wife Leia from the clutches of the Sith who had had her arrested on bogus charges while Ovin distracted them by opposing a recall on his election in the Senate . Although the escape was a success , Dorvan was captured by members of the Lost Tribe as he returned to his office . For the next month , Dorvan was tortured by Abeloth , the new leader of both the Lost Tribe and the Galactic Alliance . Feigning going over to her side , Dorvan secretly awaited the day when the Jedi would return to Coruscant . When the Jedi begun eliminating Sith imposters all around Coruscant , Dorvan advised Abeloth to pull her forces back into the Jedi Temple where the Jedi would be forced to follow . However , Abeloth predicted the Jedi move and , when Dorvan killed her Rokari Kem avatar , it was revealed that Abeloth had been manipulating him from the start . Before she could kill him , he was saved by Jysella Horn and her brother Valin . After the Jedi succeeded in defeating the Lost Tribe and Abeloth , Dorvan was elected interim Chief of State by the Senate and took on the hard task of restoring order to the Alliance . Biography . Early career . Initially , Wynn Dorvan served in the New Republic as the underdeputy of tenolodium reserves . During this time , he discovered a lucrative skimming operation run by his supervisor . Instead of using the knowledge to secure himself a cut of the products , Dorvan risked his life to inform the current New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo . This led to a great deal of trust and respect developing between Organa Solo and Dorvan . From that time on , he rose rapidly through the ranks of both the New Republic and its successor , the Galactic Alliance . Eventually he became the personal aide and later Chief of Staff to Chief of State Natasi Daala . Chief of Staff . Jedi psychosis . When Jedi Knight Jysella Horn succumbed to an enigmatic illness , it was Dorvan who first saw the news on the HoloNet and informed Daala . Afterward , Daala congratulated Dorvan on his work and presented the idea of a promotion . Dorvan declined , stating jokingly that if he was in a higher position he would have people under him , which was not to his liking . Regardless of Dorvan ' s wishes , Daala appointed him as her Chief of Staff and assigned a personal assistant in the form of Twi ' lek Desha Lor . When he learned of Daala ' s plans to use Mandalorian commandos to ensure the Jedi ' s cooperation , Dorvan secretly contacted Han and Leia Solo and told them of the development . He had originally intended to use Jagged Fel to contact them indirectly , and this drove a wedge between Jag and his future in - laws when he kept the secret to himself and Jaina . Later , Dorvan alerted Daala to the suicide of Cha Niathal , and witnessed firsthand the psychosis plaguing Jedi Knights when the Jedi Sothais Saar became paranoid and delusional in Dorvan ' s presence . Only Dorvan ' s quick thinking enabled him to survive . Dorvan later developed a friendship with redeemed Jedi Raynar Thul who had lunch with him every day on the steps of the Jedi Temple . When the Temple came under siege and Kani Asari ' s murder at the hands of the Mandalorians , Dorvan saved Thul ' s life when he went to have lunch on the steps . This convinced Dorvan to remove Asari ' s body from the steps , overruling the Mandalorians ' decree that she would stay there as a reminder to the Jedi of the Mandalorian terms . He also owned a chitlik called Pocket . During the Tendrando Arms Celebrity Sabacc Charity Challenge , Dorvan was onboard the " Errant Venture " when Captain Booster Terrik started firing on orbital mirrors in front of the Chief of Staff , ostensibly to force Daala to release his grandchildren . But this was in fact a distraction to draw the Sixth Fleet ' s attention away from the Jedi Temple to insure the secure launch of their StealthX s to reinforce Luke Skywalker on Pydyr . The " Errant Venture " then escaped into hyperspace , taking Dorvan and many other Coruscanti elite with him . Dorvan emerged as the tournament ' s winner and was said by many to be planning his retirement . He was evacuated , along with the others , on Borleias where he was immediately returned to Coruscant to be debriefed by Daala . When the leader of the Klatooinian resistance movement against slavery , the Sapience Defense Front , Grunel Ovin , committed suicide by exploding the ship " Fireborn " while on his way to his trial , Daala decided to use Mandalorians against the Klatooinians . Dorvan obeyed and gave the mobilization order but , fed up with Daala ' s growing paranoia and bloodlust against those who defied , started to draft his letter of resignation . When Daala ' s decision to send the Mandalorians to Klatooine was leaked to the press , Daala proved how paranoid she had become and she had even lost trust in Dorvan himself , suspecting him to be the leak . Political coup . At the same time , a coup was launched by the Jedi Order to remove Daala from office . Unbeknownst to either party , another group of conspirators had also planned to stage a coup against Daala . The latter incapacitated Daala with a stun bolt , having managed to take over her security detail by order of Admiral Sallinor Parova , one of the conspirators . The former made a deal with Senator Haydnat Treen , the leader of the conspiracy , to build a joint transition government : a Triumvirate composing of Saba Sebatyne , the acting Grand Master of the Jedi Order , Senator Treen and General Merratt Jaxton , Chief of Starfighter Command . The Senate approved of this . Dorvan was kept under unofficial house arrest in his office for the duration of the coup . He was later brought to Master Sebatyne who informed him of the changes of government . Dorvan resigned as Chief of Staff , claiming that he didn ' t want to be part of a government who wanted to destroy Natasi Daala for whom he still held some respect . He is later convinced to stay by Sebatyne and takes back his resignation with his first task as the Triumvirate ' s Chief of Staff to be to find ten worlds who would give Daala a fair trial . He also convinced Sebatyne not to drop the charges against former Jedi Tahiri Veila since she was being tried for a valid reason and not because of Daala ' s personal prejudices . Dorvan also believed that this would curtail the Jedi Order ' s critics to about half . Galactic Alliance Triumvir . Sometime afterwards , Dorvan was appointed to replace General Jaxton as Triumvir although the reason for this change is not elaborated upon . Thus , he was charged with overseeing the admission or rejection of the new star systems that had been free by slave uprisings into the Alliance . When Luke Skywalker returned to Coruscant and announced that the Jedi were pulling out of the capital and becoming an independent entity no longer aligned with the Alliance , plans were made for the Senate to elect Dorvan as sole interim Chief of State until a formal election could be held . However , Senator Treen ' s conspiracy had taken this as a means to ensure that their plans to reform the Empire would occur . The Senate eventually elected new Senator and former terrorist leader Padnel Ovin as the interim Chief of State . However , Ovin realized that this was a plot to use him as a puppet and , knowing that Dorvan was better at politics than him , asked him to remain as Chief of Staff . During a Senate session , Dorvan helped to free Leia Organa Solo from prison , using secret passage leading from Chief of State ' s office to Jedi Temple Meditation Garden . On his way back Dorvan was captured by three Sith from the Lost Tribe until he was approached by Kem , who was actually Abeloth in disguise . She shed her disguise to reveal her true form , much too Wynn ' s horror . He was captured and brutally tortured by Abeloth for the next few days and , much to her surprise , refused to give up any valuable information . Abeloth decided to have Wynn as her aide in order to plan her rule on the planet until the Jedi began striking at the Lost Tribe across the planet . During the Liberation of Coruscant , the Sith retreated into the Jedi Temple under advice from Wynn . While the Sith were preparing for the arrival of the Jedi , Dorvan was tricked by Abeloth into killing her Rokari Kem avatar via secretly - stolen blaster so that she could transfer her essence into the Jedi Temple ' s computer core . Dorvan would be trapped in the core ' s room until he was found by Jysella Horn during the Jedi strike team ' s mission of getting the Temple open to Admiral Nek Bwua ' tu ' s commandos . In spite of Abeloth ' s power , Dorvan managed to escape with the help of the Jedi survivors so that he could reconvene in a meeting with the Jedi Council and several political and military officials to discuss how best to defeat Abeloth and the Sith . Dorvan was adamant that killing Abeloth through orthodox means would be impossible , i . e . she would be able to see an attack planned by Admiral Bwua ' tu coming even before he decided it . This was only compounded by the apocalypse that Abeloth was causing on Coruscant . Following the defeat of Abeloth and the Sith , it took three months to repair the damage that Abeloth had done to Coruscant . Dorvan was elected as Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance but the surviving public decided that the Jedi Order was to be forever exiled from Coruscant , overriding his veto . Luke Skywalker conceded to the consensus , believing that the Jedi can ' t afford to allow Coruscant to be a target , but still left a few Jedi bodyguards to protect Dorvan . Some time afterwards , Dorvan was approached by Garik Loran , who had secretly reassembled Wraith Squadron to expose and capture Generals Stavin Thaal and Borath Maddeus as both members of the Lecersen Conspiracy . Dorvan rewarded Loran by appointing him to Maddeus ' former position as head of Galactic Alliance Security .
