Armand Isard/Legends

Armand Isard was an agent of the Senate Bureau of Intelligence. By the time of the Separatist Crisis, he had been made Director, a position he would hold until the dissolution of the Old Republic. A supporter of Palpatine, Isard was made Director of Imperial Intelligence, SBI's successor.

His daughter, Ysanne grew up to be an Imperial Intelligence agent, as well. Father and daughter apparently did not get along very well, for in 0 BBY he knowingly sent Ysanne on a suicide misison to Darkknell in an attempt to retrieve the stolen Death Star plans. Unfortunately for him, she not only survived the mission but discerned why she had been sent there.

Returning to Imperial Center, Ysanne framed Armand as a Rebel agent and claimed that he was responsible for the theft of the datapads, as well as the bombing of Treitema Political Centre and the murder of Senator Garm Bel Iblis' family. A displeased Palpatine ordered Armand executed, and Ysanne took his place as Director of Imperial Intelligence.
