Kassius Konstantine

Kassius Konstantine was a human male from Coruscant who served as an admiral in the Imperial Navy. He was dispatched to the Lothal system, where a rebel cell occurred. After the Spectres joined the other cells, Konstantine continued to hunt them down under the command of Agent Alexsandr Kallus and the Inquisitor known as the Fifth Brother. Despite their efforts and superior resources, the rebels proved elusive for Konstantine and his comrades.

Konstantine's failed attempts to destroy the rising rebellion led Governor Arihnda Pryce to ask for the services of Chiss Grand Admiral Thrawn, a seasoned tactician and the commander of the Seventh Fleet to Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. In an effort to test the Admiral's talents and capabilities, Thrawn dispatched Konstantine on a mission to destroy the Iron Squadron, a rebel cell based at Mykapo. Konstantine trapped the squadron's captain, Mart Mattin, but underestimated the ingenuity of the Spectres and Mattin's uncle Commander Jun Sato. Konstantine was greatly embarrassed by this skirmish, and attempted to spin the incident in a positive way. However, Thrawn saw through his obfuscation.

Later, Konstantine, commanding an Interdictor vessel, accompanied Thrawn and Pryce at the Battle of Atollon. Consumed by his arrogance and jealousy, Konstantine pursued the Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier Phoenix Nest, defying Thrawn's direct orders of holding back. This maneuver cost Konstantine his life as Sato rammed Phoenix Nest into the Interdictor, destroying both cruisers and also allowing the rebels to flee the system.
