Mammon Hoole

Mammon Hoole, also known as (Indeterminate) Hoole after he dropped his first name, was a male Shi'ido from Sh'shuun. As a renowned geneticist and an alumnus of the Chandrilan Academy of Sciences, he joined the Ministry of Science of the Galactic Republic along with his colleague and fellow Shi'ido Borborygmus Gog. Initially, the two were employed by the Republic to counter the bioweapons of the enemy Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. However, they ended up conducting experiments on the ability to control life at the secret request of Chancellor Palpatine. Those experiments eventually led to the birth of Trioculus, a three-eyed mutant.

When Palpatine replaced the Republic by his own Galactic Empire, Hoole and his colleague sided with the new regime. The self-anointed Emperor Palpatine awarded them a laboratory on Kiva, where the Shi'idos were tasked with taking their experiments one step further. However, the massive generators used in the lab ended up wiping out every life form on Kiva. Contrary to his colleague, Hoole had a moral awakening, and he decided to leave the Empire's service.

Although he had done his best to try and avoid the disaster, Hoole was made the sole responsible for the Kivan genocide, which led him to forsake his first name and find a new career. Upon graduating in sentientology from the Galactic Research Academy on Koaan, Hoole started traveling the galaxy as a wandering anthropologist, visiting such planets as Tatooine and Arzid.

After the Empire destroyed the planet of Alderaan, Hoole fostered the Alderaanian children Zak and Tash Arranda, of whom he was a distant relative by marriage. Together, Hoole and the Arrandas went on a number of adventures that ultimately forced the Shi'ido scientist to confront both his past and his former colleague.

Eventually, Palpatine and his Empire fell, giving way to a New Republic. At the height of that new government, Senior Anthropologist Mammon Hoole sent his notes and data to Ann Margaret Lewis, who wrote The Essential Guide to Alien Species on their basis.
