Osi Sobeck

Osi Sobeck was a Phindian who lived during the time of the Clone Wars. Sobeck worked for the Confederacy of Independent Systems as the warden of the infamous prison known as the "Citadel," which was based on the volcanic planet Lola Sayu. A sadistic and cruel demeanered officer, Sobeck specialized in the torture and mental breaking of Jedi incarcerated at the Citadel as prisoners of war.

In 20 BBY, Sobeck handled the incarceration of Jedi Master Even Piell and his crew, captured by Separatist forces after his fleet was suddenly ambushed en route to Coruscant. Count Dooku, the public face of the Separatist movement, personally assigned Sobeck the responsibility of learning the coordinates of a well hidden hyperspace lane known as the Nexus Route, data which Piell and his commanding officer, Captain Wilhuff Tarkin, memorized prior to their capture. The two were able to resist Sobeck's relentless torture, and a Republic operation aimed at the rescue of Piell and Tarkin was soon authorized. Despite Sobeck's best efforts to contain the situation, the Republic rescue force succeeded in extracting Piell and his crew. During a final effort to prevent the prisoners' escape on a small island north of the facility, Sobeck attempted to murder Tarkin by throwing him into the flow of lava, but was quickly silenced by an attack from one of Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano's two lightsabers.
