Legend

this member of New Apsolon's Civilized faction was elected to serve as the planetary leader, after Ewane stepped down from the position. One of Ewane's closest advisors, Roan was one of the few members of the Civilized who called for social reform, which eventually led to the election of Ewane as planetary leader. Although middle-aged, Roan was an imposing man distinguished by the shock of gray hair that covered one side of his head. Roan was accused of backing the assassins who later murdered Ewane, but even Ewane's daughters, Eritha and Alani, scoffed at any possible connection. After they were kidnapped from Roan's residence, he agreed to meet with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi because he felt that he was powerless to stop the rapid degeneration of his society. Roan was later given an ultimatum from the kidnappers: resign his position as planetary ruler or the twins would be harmed. He agreed to their demands, but was later killed when he went to meet with them. The twins were soon released, but Eritha discovered that Alani was secretly working for Balog. She made her own connections, blaming Balog for Roan's death as well as that of Ewane.
