Denetrius Vidian

Count Denetrius Vidian, born Lemuel Tharsa, was a wealthy human male mogul of the thorilide mining industry and one of the Galactic Empire's most prominent efficiency experts. After threatening to expose corruption in the mining industry and catching a rare degenerative disease, Shilmer's syndrome, Tharsa recreated himself as Vidian, becoming a business consultant in the Galactic Empire and mentored Everi Chalis. During the Age of the Empire, Vidian was granted control of the mining colony of Gorse and its moon Cynda, key to the Empire's expansion of its fleet. Vidian attempted to destroy Cynda in an unusual scheme to undermine his business rival Lero Danthe while simultaneously exploiting the moon's thorilide reserves. However, he was opposed by a motley group of rebels including Hera Syndulla, Kanan Jarrus, and Skelly. At the climax of the Gorse Conflict, he was killed by Skelly aboard the Forager.
