Gharial

Gharial was a human who held the rank of sergeant as an Imperial Security Bureau tactical trooper during the reign of the Galactic Empire. In 1 BBY, Gharial commanded a squad that was sent to capture the rebel Kleya Marki on the planet Coruscant, picking up bureau Supervisor Avril Heert in a tactical shuttle on the way to her safehouse in Tomkip Towers. Once they arrived at the towers, Heert used a portable scanner to narrow down her location and then accompanied Gharial as he led half the squad into the building, with the other half remaining outside near the shuttle.

Gharial, Heert, and the tactical troopers with them swept the twenty-sixth floor of the building's west side, ending up in the apartment of an elderly couple where they waited for Heert to narrow the location further. The supervisor then directed them to the room directly above them, and the sergeant and his men ascended to the dimly lit twenty-seventh floor, proceeding slowly toward the safehouse. As they approached, the rebel Ruescott Melshi emerged, but ducked back inside before they fired on him.

When the rebels in the safehouse failed to surrender, Gharial tossed in a stun grenade but lost the first trooper he sent through the safehouse door. The rebel droid K-2SO then arrived in the turbolift behind Gharial's unit, having taken out the tactical troopers outside the building, and proceeded to kill another of Gharial's men and lift up Heert as a body shield. After the rebel Cassian Andor killed the last of Gharial's men, the sergeant fired into Heert as K-2SO proceeded toward him, fatally hurling Gharial into a wall when he reached him.
