Ferric Obdur

Ferric Obdur was a human male officer who served the Galactic Empire. Originally a member of the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic, Obdur was placed in charge of the official media output during the transition into the Empire. By the late Galactic Civil War, he had been named Grand Admiral Rae Sloane's chief informational officer by Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax, the de facto leader of the fragmented Empire. In this role, he was later appointed to Rax's Shadow Council. During this time, Obdur was served by a female assistant.

After Rax seized power as Counselor to the Empire, Obdur accompanied the rest of the Shadow Council and Rax's Imperial forces to the Inner Rim world of Jakku. As the months dragged on, Rax found little use for Obdur's work as a propagandist. Obdur was assassinated under Rax's orders prior to the Battle of Jakku.
