Zelor

Zelor was a Human male who served as the royal regent under King Lorac and Queen Denira of the planet, Velmor, some 20 years before the Galactic Civil War. Zelor was party to an Imperial-led coup in 17 BBY, ruling the planet for the next two decades while the old monarchs' younger son, Anod, waited to take the throne. All the while, Zelor planned to seize ultimate power for himself, but his plans were foiled when crown prince Denid returned to Velmor in 3 ABY. For his treachery, Zelor was ultimately killed by Denid's friend, Rebel Commander Luke Skywalker.
