Russell Wake

Russell Wake was a middle-aged, silver-haired man who served as the gardener in a factory on Bellassa about a year or two after the end of the Clone Wars. He became friendly with Ferus Olin, allowing him to sneak into a meeting so he could listen in on Darth Vader and Wilhuff Tarkin as they spoke to a team of scientists working for them. When Russell realized that it was Olin he had become friendly with, he scorned him, but Ferus told him discreetly, during a talk about gardening, that he was working as a double agent. Russell shut down the security system in the factory for 15 minutes to give Ferus, along with Roan Lands, Amie Antin, and Trever Flume time to search the Empire's computers for vital data. However, during the 15 minutes, as Russell fearfully waited for Ferus and his group to finish, Darth Vader entered the garden and began to Force choke Russell. Despite the pain, Russell refused to give any information to Vader, and died heroically when Vader used the force to crush his throat.
