Valin Hess

Valin Hess was a human male general from the planet Coruscant who served in the Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire and later in the Imperial Remnant. In 4 ABY, he participated in carrying out Operation: Cinder on the planet Burnin Konn, where he chose to sacrifice a division under him in wiping out a city. In 9 ABY, after the fall of the Empire, Hess served with Imperial remnants stationed at the rhydonium refinery on the planet Morak. One day, he noticed the disguised infiltrators Migs Mayfeld and Din Djarin.

Hess questioned Djarin, and Mayfeld gave their alleged designations as well as further fabricated details on Djarin. The general then prevented the pair from leaving and invited them for a drink. Sitting with the two "troopers," Hess wanted a new subject to toast to, and Mayfeld brought up Operation: Cinder, revealing that he had survived Burnin Konn. After the infiltrator questioned whether the outcome was good for those who had died, the general celebrated that they had outlived those victims. Hess proposed a toast to the Empire, but Mayfeld instead shot the officer in the chest, killing him.
