Passel Argente/Legends

Passel Argente (&mdash;19 BBY) was the leader of the Corporate Alliance and a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.

He was a Koorivar, and his homeworld was the planet Kooriva, though he later made his home on Murkhana at the time of the Clone Wars.

Biography
Before the Clone Wars, Argente was both a Galactic Republic Senator and the representative of a powerful mercantile company on Lethe, in the Corporate Sector. As a Senator, he was often criticized for graft and corruption, and used his corporate connections to amass great wealth. Passel Argente was usually accompanied by his aide, a female Koorivar named Denaria Kee.

As Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance, Passel Argente was also a key member of Count Dooku's Separatist movement. He was present at the Separatist meeting on Geonosis in 22 BBY shortly before the Battle of Geonosis. After serving as a Republic Senator during the term of Supreme Chancellor Valorum and during much of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's reign, he abandoned the Republic and joined the Separatist movement with the promise of more wealth, and pledged the Corporate Alliance's forces to support the Separatist cause. Passel Argente funded and marketed both anti-Jedi and anti-Republic propaganda which helped keep the public in Confederate territory pro-war.

After the Separatist Council was moved to Mustafar, Passel Argente was killed by Darth Vader, along with the rest of the CIS leadership, during Vader's raid on the Separatist command center. Soon after his death, the Corporate Alliance relocated its distribution companies to the Corporate Sector; with the death of Argente, the Corporate Alliance faded into oblivion.
