Diric Wessiri

Diric Wessiri was a Human male who was married with Iella Wessiri. After escaping from Corellia, he settled on Coruscant with his wife. In 6 ABY, he was captured by the Galactic Empire and sent to the Lusankya prison where he was brainwashed into one of Ysanne Isard's sleeper agents. When New Republic captured Coruscant in 7 ABY, Wessiri was discovered as a member of a group of slaves who had been working with General Evir Derricote in creating the Krytos virus. Wessiri was then reunited with his wife, who had believed him dead for a year. Isard activated Wessiri's brainwashing when the Director of Imperial Intelligence thought that Derricote had escaped Lusankya and was on his way to testify in a trial against Tycho Celchu. Wessiri was forced to fire toward his wife, Nawara Ven and Kirtan Loor, who Wessiri thought to be Derricote. Iella returned fire, wounding Wessiri mortally and only then discovering that it had been her husband. Wessiri died in her arms, revealing that he had been a brainwashed agent of Isard that had been broken in Lusankya prison.
