Hodnar Borrum

Hodnar Borrum was a male human who served as an officer in both the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic and its successor, the Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire. Toward the end of the Clone Wars, a three-year-long conflict that concluded with the transition from the Republic to the Empire, Borrum reportedly led the charge against the last stand of the Jedi, personally marshaling clone troopers against a mountain fortress. Borrum became a general in the Imperial Military, and he served so long that he came to be known as "the Old Man" across the Empire.

However, perhaps because of his old age or his disregard for the Force, Borrum was never made a Grand General, an honor that went to Kenner Loring instead. After the Empire suffered a major defeat at Endor, General Borrum was given a seat in the Shadow Council, a secret military advisory council led by Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax. Borrum later commanded the Imperial ground forces during the cataclysmic Battle of Jakku, which ended the Galactic Civil War in the New Republic's favor.
