Almec

Almec was a male human Mandalorian from the planet Mandalore, and a one-time believer in the pacifist ways of Duchess Satine Kryze. During the Clone Wars, Almec served as the Prime Minister of Mandalore and did as he thought best to watch over and represent the interests of Mandalore. His dedication became his undoing, however; when Mandalore declared neutrality in the Clone Wars and became cut off from Galactic Republic aid, Almec established a black market trade network to bring much-needed goods to the Mandalorian people. These smugglers poisoned the people of Sundari with toxic tea, putting numerous children in hospital. Almec was exposed as the leader of the black market network and summarily imprisoned for his crimes.

When the rogue Sith Lord Maul took over Mandalore, he broke Almec out of prison and reinstated him as Prime Minister, with Almec declaring loyalty to Maul and his Death Watch allies. Following Maul's capture and imprisonment by Darth Sidious, Almec saw to it that Maul was rescued and brought back to the Death Watch. Later, during the closing days of the Clone Wars, Almec participated in the Siege of Mandalore, a joint effort between the Republic and Bo-Katan Kryze's Mandalore resistance to defeat Maul and retake Mandalore. A far cry from his old claims of pacifism, Almec had Gar Saxon prepare their forces for an all-out attack, and wearing a suit of Mandalorian armor, fought Bo-Katan in Sundari Royal Palace.

Defeated and detained in the Sundari royal prison, Almec was assassinated by Gar Saxon on Maul's orders as he was being questioned by Bo-Katan and Ahsoka Tano. As he died, he told Tano that the name "Skywalker" had come to Maul in a Force vision.
