Bail Organa

Bail Prestor Organa was a human statesman from Alderaan who served as his homeworld's Senator through the rise of the Galactic Empire, as well as covertly founded the Alliance to Restore the Republic to resist the Empire's New Order. A member of the Alderaanian royal family, Organa was elected to the Galactic Senate by the time of the Separatist Crisis, where his time in the Loyalist Committee saw him befriend Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo as they sought to preserve the Galactic Republic's democratic ideals and integrity.
After the crisis escalated into the outbreak of the Clone Wars between the Republic and the newly-formed Confederacy of Independent Systems, Organa involved himself in humanitarian causes during the war, such as transporting relief supplies to the peoples of Christophsis and Ryloth and organizing the Alderaan Refugee Conference to address the growing number of refugees displaced by the fighting; and collaborated with progressively-minded allies such as Amidala and Mon Mothma of Chandrila to bring a peaceful resolution of the war and limit the expansion of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine's wartime powers. By the end of the war, however, Palpatine — secretly the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious — ordered the destruction of the Jedi Order and announced the transformation of the Republic into an Empire. In the chaotic days following the war's end, Organa helped the fugitive Grand Master Yoda, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Jarik Shan, escape the Empire and witnessed Amidala, the secret wife of fallen Jedi Anakin Skywalker, die in childbirth.
Following Amidala's death, Organa and his wife Breha took in the youngling Katooni and adopted Leia, one of the late Amidala's twin children, as his daughter. Organa continued to represent Alderaan in the Imperial Senate, whilst working secretly with allies such as Mothma, Shan, and former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano in building a network to assist scattered rebel cells resist against the Empire, eventually culminating into the formation of an Alliance to Restore the Republic. On the eve of the Battle of Scarif, Organa dispatched Leia to Tatooine to bring Kenobi out of exile while he returned to Alderaan to warn his people that there would be no peace. Though the Alliance won its first major victory of the Galactic Civil War at Scarif, Organa and his wife were killed when the Death Star, an Imperial planet-killing superweapon, destroyed Alderaan just days later.
