Tunga Arpagion

Canon Linked from 33 articles

Tunga Arpagion was a male Clawdite shape-shifter agent who was known to be a professional actor and impersonator. He was recruited by the Alliance to Restore the Republic for a mission they undertook on Mon Cala. His impersonation of Imperial Moff Tan Hubi allowed Leia Organa and her team to locate Lee-Char, former king of Mon Cala, and deliver his last words back to the Mon Calamari.

After a brief return to acting, he was once again recruited by Organa, who required his talents for a mission to Shu-Torun, with their goal to take down the Spike as an economic strike to the Empire. He impersonated the ore-duke Lord Or-Tar in order to get Organa a scan of Queen Trios' eye, which could unlock Shu-Torun's security systems. Arpagion later took the form of Queen Trios to rid the Ancestral Retreat of its staff, allowing the rebels to deactivate the security systems of Shu-Torun.

Their plan went astray when the Partisans, a rebel insurgent group recruited for the attack, sabotaged the Spike so that it would destroy Shu-Torun in revenge for the Empire's destruction of Jedha. When the rebels became trapped by both an orbital bombardment and a group of TIE fighters, Arpagion sacrificed himself, using his shapeshifting abilities to trick the Imperials into believing he was Organa, shooting down his ship. However, Arpagion survived, and was rescued by cultists of the Central Isopter, who initiated him into the cult against his will.
