Moralo Eval

Moralo Eval, a male Phindian, was a criminal mastermind and serial killer active during the final years of the Republic Era. Loathsome and sociopathic from a young age, Eval became a career criminal while still a child when he murdered his mother, after which he committed several more killings. Because of his craftiness in evading the law, Eval soon garnered a reputation as a twisted genius. During the Clone Wars, a galaxy-wide conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Eval was hired by Confederate Head of State Dooku. For Dooku, Eval invented the Box, an enormous cubical structure with a shifting interior designed to test the skills of bounty hunters, and plotted a risky scheme to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine of the Republic.

While Eval was preparing to initiate his and Dooku's plan, he was arrested by law enforcement on Denon and transferred to a maximum-security prison on Coruscant. With the bounty hunters Cad Bane and Rako Hardeen, Eval escaped confinement, after which they narrowly avoided capture by Republic forces on Nal Hutta and Orondia. The trio made their way to Serenno to meet with Dooku, who had assembled more bounty hunters for the Box. Eval tested the hunters in the Box but was increasingly angered by Dooku's disappointment in the final product and Hardeen's ability to outsmart his simulations. Eval tried to kill Hardeen but found himself forced to battle the hunter in an arena when Dooku took control of the Box. Hardeen managed to beat Eval, whose failures resulted in Dooku demoting him to the role of getaway driver.

Now led by Bane, the team of bounty hunters traveled to Naboo and infiltrated the city of Theed, where Chancellor Palpatine was officiating the Festival of Light. Although the plan went awry due to the Republic's advance knowledge of the plot, Bane managed to secure the Chancellor and bring him to Eval. When Eval and Bane arrived at their designated rendezvous point to meet with Dooku, however, they found the count absent. Realizing they had been abandoned, Eval and Bane decided to ransom Palpatine themselves. They were soon tracked down, after which it was revealed that Hardeen was Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in disguise, having reported the plan to Republic authorities. Abandoned by Dooku and surrounded by Republic forces, Eval and Bane were brought back into custody, where Eval was placed in maximum-security solitary confinement at a military installation.
