House Rist

House Rist was an Alderaanian noble family who existed by the time of the Cold War who were legendary spies and assassins. Its origins were traced to a crimelord from the Exchange who provided illicit services to Alderaan's nobility. Following years of underhanded dealings, the crimelord was rewarded with his own lands and the Risks were legitimized as a minor noble house. Despite this ascension, the Rists did not abandon their criminal roots but instead discreetly plyed their murderous art whilst enjpying the trappings privilege. This in turn earnt them favor and leverage when dealing with the other noble houses of Alderaan.

In time, House Ulgo sought out House Rist and managed to acquire them as a vassal who had pledged their loyalty. Though a controversial move, the promotion was a shrewd act which allowed the Ulgo's to retain the sole claim to the Rists' vast underworld resources. After the death of Gaul Panteer, suspicion fell on both Rist and Ulgo as many believed that it was assassins from this house that were responsible for the Senator's death.
