Melis Shryke's father's chief adviser

A Neimoidian served as chief adviser for the Shryke family on the planet Bantoo during the High Republic Era. Between 230 BBY and 229 BBY,The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness dates the attack on Bantoo to around six months before the first anniversary of the destruction of Starlight Beacon. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the destruction of Starlight Beacon to 230 BBY, the attack must have taken place in either 230 BBY and 229 BBY. the planet was attacked by the Nihil, a group of pirates that operated in the Outer Rim. While witnessing the attack from her balcony in her home, Melis Shryke eventually decided to join the marauders. After dressing in armor and killing her father in his sleep, she eventually interrogated the Neimoidian for access to her family's vault. Confused, the chief adviser refused to do so until Shryke murdered two of his underlings, to which the Neimoidian complied and gave Shryke access to the vault. Shryke then took the credits from the vault and tossed them to General Abediah Viess, who smiled at Shryke in return.
