Lando Calrissian

Lando Calrissian was a male human smuggler, professional gambler, and entrepreneur who became Baron Administrator of Cloud City and later a General of the Rebel Alliance. Born on the Outer Rim planet of Socorro in 31 BBY, Calrissian built a reputation in certain circles during the reign of the Empire as Captain of the Millennium Falcon — a Corellian YT-1300f light freighter extensively modified to Calrissian's tastes — and a self-proclaimed "sportsman" seeking a fortune at the galaxy’s sabacc tables. After losing the Falcon to Corellian smuggler Han Solo in a game of sabacc, the subsequent decade saw Calrissian attempting various entrepreneurial ventures — including a small mining operation on the planet Lothal — which yielded uneven returns. 
Eventually ascending to Baron Administrator of Cloud City on the planet Bespin by 3 ABY, Calrissian's desire to remain isolated from the Empire ended after the Battle of Hoth, when the arrival of Sith Lord Darth Vader — the Emperor's enforcer — forced Calrissian to deceptively lead an arriving group of rebels, which included Solo, to Vader himself, in exchange for the safety of Cloud City's residents. Despite having met the original provisions of his agreement with Vader, the latter's unilateral and successive amendments, including the surrender of Solo — who had been frozen in carbonite — to the Mandalorian bounty hunter Boba Fett convinced Calrissian of his errors. Alerting Cloud City's residents to the impending Imperial occupation, Calrissian liberated the remaining rebels and fled with them to the Rebel Alliance, thereafter assisting in Solo's rescue from crime lord Jabba the Hutt, whom Fett had delivered Solo to. Having been awarded the rank of General at the time, Calrissian piloted the Falcon once again and led the subsequent starfighter assault during the Battle of Endor, ultimately firing the shot that destroyed the Death Star II and cemented a decisive Rebel victory in the Galactic Civil War.
