Tseebo Tseebo was a male Rodian who worked for the Imperial Information Office on Lothal . He was outfitted with an AJ ^ 6 cyborg construct containing information vital to the Galactic Empire , including a five year plan for the Outer Rim Territories . About four years before the Battle of Yavin , Tseebo went missing ; prompting an Imperial manhunt that involved the Imperial Security Bureau Agent Kallus and the Jedi hunter known as the Grand Inquisitor . Tseebo was eventually found by Ezra Bridger , whose parents Tseebo had known , and the rebels , who rescued him from the Empire and arranged for him to go into hiding . Biography . Friend of the Bridgers . Tseebo was a close friend of Ezra Bridger ' s parents , Ephraim and Mira . However , he was concerned that their anti - Imperial activities would endanger their son ' s safety . Tseebo tried to warn Ephraim and Mira but the couple insisting on standing up for what they believed in . When the Galactic Empire arrested Ephraim and Mira , Tseebo did nothing to stop them . Their son Ezra was forced to eke out a living in the streets of Lothal ' s Capital City . Burdened by guilt , Tseebo went to work for the Imperial Information Office . In an attempt to find out what had happened to Ephraim and Mira , he volunteered to be implanted with an AJ ^ 6 cyborg construct . Escaping the Empire . By the time of the Empire ' s fifteenth anniversary , Tseebo , at the age of 38 , was carrying highly classified Imperial information including the schematics for new TIE fighters and walker s , schedules for stormtrooper tactics and strategies , and a five year plan for Lothal and every other world in the Outer Rim . He fled from the Imperial authorities and attempted to get the information off Lothal . Due to the highly sensitive nature of Tseebo ' s information , the Empire launched a planetwide manhunt in order to prevent Tseebo from falling into the hands of the rebellion . With nowhere else to go , Tseebo went into hiding in the former Bridger household . Later that night , he was found by Ezra , Kanan Jarrus , and Sabine Wren ; who were members of a rebel group known as the Spectres . Due to his resentment towards Tseebo for not helping his parents , Ezra refused to help him . However , Kanan and Sabine disagreed and decided to rescue Tseebo due to the valuable intelligence he was carrying . The rebels managed to hijack an Imperial Troop Transport , outrun their Imperial pursuers , and reach Capital City ' s outskirts . There , they were airlifted to safety by their rebel comrades aboard the " Ghost " ; a modified VCX - 100 light freighter which had become the Spectres ' main base of operations . As the " Ghost " headed into space , Tseebo regained his senses and quickly recognized Ezra . Before he could speak to the boy , the " Ghost " came under fire from several TIE fighters led by the Grand Inquisitor , the ship ' s captain Hera Syndulla called for Sabine to take the nose gun . When Sabine took an interest in Tseebo ' s knowledge of Ezra ' s parents , a resentful Ezra insisted that they were dead . After Sabine had left the room , Ezra questioned Tseebo about his parents ' fate . Tseebo could only recount the day they were captured but could not ascertain their current whereabouts . He then lamented his failure to save the Bridgers . This only upset Ezra who refused to forgive Tseebo . Finding forgiveness . Tseebo managed to help the rebels escape the Empire by transmitting hyperspace coordinates into the " Ghost " hyperdrive . As the crew took a moment to catch their breath , Tseebo returned to his unresponsive state . As Ezra and the other rebels debate what to do about Tseebo , the Rodian suddenly projected a hologram revealing that the Imperials had managed to attach a tracking device to the " Ghost " . The ship ' s astromech droid Chopper then performed a scan which confirmed that the said tracking device was on the hull of the " Phantom " . While Kanan and Ezra took the " Phantom " to Fort Anaxes to lure the Grand Inquisitor away from the " Ghost " , Tseebo remained on the " Ghost " . Hera had contacted the mysterious rebel leader known as Fulcrum and arranged for Tseebo to go into hiding . During the journey , Tseebo later heard Ezra calling out to him through the Force ; forgiving the Rodian for not standing by his parents . Though he could not respond back the same way , Tseebo expressed relief that he had been forgiven . As the " Ghost " rendezvoused with Fulcrum ' s CR90 corvette , Tseebo told Hera that he knew about the fate of Ezra ' s parents . Before parting , Hera promised to share this information with Ezra when the time was right . Legacy . Several months later , Tseebo ' s information proved useful when Ezra experienced a Force vision of his parents . Hera then revealed that Ezra ' s parents had been imprisoned within a vast network of Imperial prisons throughout the galaxy . Together with his master Kanan , Ezra then traveled back to the planet Lothal . There , they encountered Ryder Azadi , the former Governor of Lothal and a friend of the Bridgers . He revealed that Ephraim and Mira had been so inspired by their son ' s involvement in the rebellion that they had staged an escape attempt but were killed . Despite the loss of his parents , Ezra was able to make peace with his past and move on . Years after Tseebo was spirited away by the Spectres , the incident was still fresh in the Imperials ' minds . When Everi Chalis , the governor of Haidoral Prime , defected to the Alliance to Restore the Republic , she feared that the Imperial Ruling Council would hunt her down , stating that the Empire could not have another Tseebo . Personality and traits . As a Rodian , Tseebo had a humanoid form with large round eyes and a slender snout . He had yellow skin and green eyes . He also wore an AJ ^ 6 cyborg construct which allowed him to store a vast amount of sensitive Imperial information . While Tseebo was a good friend of Ezra Bridger ' s parents Ephraim and Mira , he lacked the same courage and fortitude to challenge the Galactic Empire . Out of guilt of having failed to stand by them and to protect Ezra , Tseebo joined the Imperial Information Office and volunteered to be implanted with a cybernetic implant in order to find the Bridgers and to aid the rebellion against the Empire . While the cyborg implant enabled him to interact easily with technology , the sheer amount of information made him unfocused and confused . Behind the scenes .

He was voiced by Peter MacNicol in both episodes .
