Malcor Brashin was a respected Grand General in the Imperial Army. Though his career had an unassuming beginning, he was converted into a fanatical supporter of the New Order after nonhuman thieves murdered his wife and daughter.

This event gave him the drive to become one of the army's highest-ranking officers, in which position he oversaw the development of the Battlefield Holographic Control Interface and served as Brenn Tantor's superior throughout Tantor's Imperial career. However, when Tantor disobeyed an order to wipe out a refugee camp, Brashin had him imprisoned. Tantor escaped and defected to the Rebellion, where he faced Brashin once more and escaped again. By the time of the fall of Coruscant, Brashin was commanding the defense of the planet, where Tantor defeated his forces decisively.
