Ars Dangor

Ars Dangor was a male Human who served as one of Palpatine's first aides during the waning days of the Republic, and went on to serve the Galactic Empire through the Declaration of a New Order until well after the Battle of Endor. A gifted orator and talented politician in his own right, he followed Palpatine throughout the Naboo man's career as a Senator and during his terms as Supreme Chancellor with a fanatical loyalty, and was forever content to serve his master. When Palpatine dissolved the Republic and formed the first Galactic Empire, Dangor became an Imperial Advisor, though unlike many other advisors, who wore elaborate dress and doted over the Emperor's every word, Dangor was considered cunning and ruthless, and served by the Emperor's side.

When the threat of the Rebel Alliance emerged—which Dangor thought doomed to fail—Palpatine handed all public addresses and the day-to-day running of his Empire to Dangor. When the Emperor dissolved the Imperial Senate in 0 BBY, Dangor prepared the public announcement, as well as a private message to the Empire's Moffs and Grand Moffs. After Palpatine's death in 4 ABY, Dangor became the head of the Emperor's Ruling Council, which vied for control of Imperial Center with Grand Vizier Sate Pestage, though Tribune Paltr Carvin was the public leader. Eventually, in 5 ABY, Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard took control of the Empire, assassinating much of the Ruling Council in the process, though Dangor survived her purge. He continued to be an important leader of the Empire until after the Thrawn campaign, watching as his master's Empire slowly died. However, after recapturing Coruscant from the New Republic, Dangor and his peers were vocal proponents for a new Emperor to be elected from their ranks, though they backed out when the regional governors demanded that the number of votes held by each voter be proportionate to the number of planets they controlled. Eventually, the Empire erupted into full scale civil war, until Palpatine returned in a cloned body.
