Vengnar Heiff

Vengnar Heiff, Master Torturer, was the head of the Galactic Empire's Department of Punishment during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. A cold blooded, reptilian humanoid, Heiff earned a reputation for his brutal and violent methods, giving him the nickname of the Torturer. He was alternatively despised, feared, and respected by the upper echelons of the Imperial Military, though there was a general perception that he was a butcher.

In 0 ABY, Heiff was called to the Ithorian herdship Tafanda Bay, on Ithor, to extract information from a group of Ithorian technicians pertaining to the operation of the mammoth craft. After killing twelve of the Ithorians, Heiff was thrust into the middle of a ship-wide uprising. Battling a Rebel agent, Heiff was eventually brutally wounded and arrested by a large group of the normally-peaceful Ithorians.
