A lazy, cowardly accountant for the Old Republic. During the Clone Wars, however, he finds himself sent to the front -- to study the performance of the new clonetroopers for the Department of Cost Accounting and Republic Intelligence. The first story featuring him, The Pengalan Tradeoff, is the story of that mission, in which things go horribly wrong and, due to his temporary Intelligence lieutenant's commission, he becomes the highest-ranked officer left. He is stuck in unwilling command of the remaining clones at their insistence, and has to bungle his way back off the planet while building relationships with the clone soldiers. Of course, his financial acumen eventually proves key to completing the mission.
