Romeo Treblanc

Romeo Treblanc was a former Holonet actor who later became the owner and proprietor of the Galaxies Opera House on Coruscant.

Holodrama actor
Romeo Treblanc began his career in the entertainment industry as a holodrama actor. This profession garnered him a considerable amount of public notice, and he found himself surrounded by the rich and famous. He retired early, but he still loved the attention and glamor of his life as an actor. As such, he continued to keep the Coruscanti highlife in proximity, and always made sure he had at least one foot in the limelight. Seeking to prolong his success and fame further, he pooled his money into the founding of the Galaxies Opera House. Located in the upper Uscru District of Galactic City, the House was one of the foremost entertainment centers on the planet.

Podrace gambler
Treblanc's fame soon served as a smokescreen, however, to disguise his true nature: that of a gambler. At first addicted to simple card and dice games, Treblanc started to express an interest in the illegal and highly dangerous sport of podracing. To avoid tarnishing his name, he would travel wearing simple disguises and adopting aliases. Sometimes, he would travel to the Outer Rim worlds that allowed the sport as the guest of underworld crimlords, such as the Hutts.

When attending the Boonta Eve Classic as Gardulla the Elder's guest, Treblanc encountered the Hutt's slave, Diva Shaliqua. A rare half-breed Theelin, Shaliqua's species were considered to be amongst the greatest opera singers in the galaxy. Treblanc took great interest in Shaliqua, and claimed that she had untapped talent and potential. Upon departing, he promised to see her at next year's Boonta Eve Race.

Clone Wars
Treblanc was often present at the opera, sitting in his own private viewing box, along with his guests, Tannon Praji, Ottegru Grey and Onara Kuat.
