Lux Bonteri

Lux Bonteri was a human male Senator and rebel fighter who fought throughout the rise of the Galactic Empire. During the fall of the Galactic Republic, Bonteri's homeworld of Onderon was among thousands of worlds who seceded as members of the Separatist Alliance, sparking a war that saw Bonteri's father killed by the Republic's clone troopers early on. Distrustful of the Republic and the Jedi Order who led the Republic's war efforts, Bonteri was present when Republic Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo and Jedi Padawans Jarik Shan and Ahsoka Tano visited the Separatist capital of Raxus Secundus to secretly discuss a ceasefire with his mother, Senator Mina Bonteri. Though hopes for peace seemed promising, Mina was assassinated under the order of the Separatist Head of State Dooku, following which Lux briefly joined the Death Watch terrorist group in an failed attempt to kill Dooku, though he left with help from Tano. Towards the end of the war, Bonteri affiliated with the Onderonian anti-Separatist resistance led by Saw and Steela Gerrera, and became his homeworlds' representative in the Republic following the Separatists' defeat.
Though Bonteri maintained his position as the Republic transitioned into the Empire, his covert ties to Saw Gerrera's anti-Imperial Partisans were eventually discovered, after which he was removed and blacklisted from the Imperial Senate and used as bait to capture Jedi Knight Jarik Shan, whom the Emperor considered as the most dangerous threat to his reign. With Bonteri rescued in lieu of Shan's adoptive daughter Mara Jade, the former Senator participated in the Action at Coruscant to rescue Jade from the Imperial Palace in the Imperial Center, with the aftermath seeing him enter the Partisans to counterbalance Gerrera's ruthlessness in his campaign against the Empire.
