Kalen

Kalen was a delegate of the Galactic Senate during the reign of the Galactic Republic. During Kalen's first visit to the Republic capital planet Coruscant, where the senate was based, he jumped into an open-topped air taxi while late for an appointment, becoming a famous exception to the fact that most experienced air taxi passengers prefered blacked out windows. Kalen then told the driver to take him to the Senate Chamber, which was located in the Galactic Senate Building, offering 100 credits extra if the driver got him there swiftly. The driver complied and was more than fast enough to earn the bonus, but Kalen perished from a fatal heart attack during the journey and so was unable to pay.
