==Biography==
By the time of his marriage, Divinian was a homesteader in the Outer Rim.Jedi Quest: The Trail of the Jedi The husband of Astri Oddo and father of Lune Oddo Divinian, he was elected to the Galactic Senate with backing from the Commerce Guild.Jedi Quest: The False Peace In exchange, he kept quiet about their involvement in a scandal on the planet Euceron: Divinian had served there on the Games Council for the Galactic Games of 26 BBY, in which he initially served simply as an unwitting pawn, but later as a knowing accomplice—by his unwillingness to testify (spurning a Jedi team's request) against guilty high-profile Council members—in a conspiracy with the Commerce Guild to discredit certain respected Senators in exchange for untold wealth and power.Jedi Quest: The Dangerous Games
===Games Council groveler===
While it was noted that Bog disapproved of podracing, this may have just been consistent with his early behavior as an innocent "Yes"-man bowing to power, merely affirming the ultra-hypocritical attitude of the Games Council leadership as to the distasteful "illegalities" of the sport, in which the Council had intimately, albeit clandestinely, involved itself. Even so, in the end, Divinian's failure of integrity to disclose the truth about the Games scandal, transformed the power-hungry bureaucrat into a complicit criminal alongside his fellow Council-member perpetrators.
===Anti-Jedi Senator===
Divinian, caught now in the web of prejudice and political corruption, later joined Sano Sauro's anti-Jedi faction in denouncing the Jedi, debating heatedly with Bail Organa over Senate support of the Jedi in the Senate Hearing Chamber. However, his proposals lost all support when the Jedi stopped Granta Omega's vicious attempt to murder Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and thousands of Senators with their top advisors in the Senate Rotunda itself.
At some point in the Clone Wars, Divinian had sided with the Confederacy of Independent Systems.Guide to Characters section in Star Wars: The Last of the Jedi series from Secret Weapon to Reckoning, under "Astri Oddo" What his position of power was during that time is unknown.
