Unidentified King of Shu-Torun

A human male reigned as king over the Kingdom of Shu-Torun during the Imperial Era. In addition, he was the father of Princess Trios and her older siblings, Monthan and Hollian. The king was old and on the verge of death by the time of the Galactic Civil War. As such, he confirmed Monthan's status as heir apparent to the throne of Shu-Torun and Hollian's future appointment as celebrant warlord of the War-Faith.

During the Sith Lord Darth Vader's visit to Shu-Torun, the king enacted a plan to assassinate the Sith enforcer of the Galactic Empire. The king's plan involved sacrificing Trios in order to kill Vader during the Shu-Torun counter-bore waltz, but the Dark Lord of the Sith survived the trap. The king, along with his two eldest children and his bodyguards, were consequently killed by the Sith Lord's assassin droids, 0-0-0 and BT-1. As the sole-surviving member of the Shu-Torun royal family, Trios succeeded her father as the monarch of Shu-Torun. Using the Force, Vader placed the dead king's crown upon the new queen's head and informed Trios of her new role as a vassal of the Empire.
