"&hellip;in the course of my duties, I have encountered a rebel cell."

- Agent Kallus, to the Inquisitor

Kallus was a Human male Agent of the Imperial Security Bureau, codenamed ISB-021, in the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. Kallus was tasked with suppressing resistance against the Galactic Empire before they could spark a full-scale rebellion, and was also involved in the cleansing of Lasan and the near-extinction of the Lasat. He would later be assigned to Lothal, where he pursued the rebels who operated there in an attempt to stop them from fomenting a larger rebel movement.

Early life
"I was there when Lasan fell. I know why you fear those disruptors. I gave the order to use them!"

- Agent Kallus, to Garazeb Orrelios

Kallus, a Human male, was born on Coruscant several years prior to the Invasion of Naboo, during the final years of the Galactic Republic. After Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine declared himself Emperor and transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire, Kallus joined the Imperial Security Bureau, a secret task force that pursued and destroyed rebellious throughout the galaxy. Kallus, whose codename was ISB-021, became a high-ranked ISB Agent and commanded his own Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the Lawbringer.

As an ISB Agent, Kallus took part in the cleansing of the planet Lasan, in which the planet's species, the Lasat, was all but destroyed and completely driven away from their homeworld. Kallus gave the order for Imperial troops to use T-7 ion disruptor rifles against the population. These rifles were powerful enough to disable starships and had brutal results when used against sentient beings. These weapons were ultimately banned by the Imperial Senate as a result of their destructive power. Before the cleansing of Lasan ended, Kallus took an AB-75 bo-rifle from a member of the Lasan Honor Guard that he had killed.

Trapping the Ghost
"The Imperial Security Bureau pays attention to patterns. When the Empire’s operations are targeted on an ongoing basis, it could signify something more than the left of a few crates. It could signify the spark of rebellion. Next time they make a move, we’ll be waiting for them to snuff out that spark before it catches fire."

- Kallus, to Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko

Five years before the Battle of Yavin, a rebel cell operated on Lothal, where they hit a number of Imperial targets. These attacks drew the attention of the Imperial Security Bureau. Kallus took special interest in the crew, which operated off the starship Ghost, and inspected the damage the rebels caused after stealing crates of food and weapons. He was briefed by Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko, one of the leading military officers on Lothal, about the attack, and Kallus explained that it was part of a pattern&mdash;one that, if not stopped, could lead to a larger rebel movement.

In an effort to destroy the rebels, Kallus prepared a trap to lure them in by making the rebels believe they had learned the location of Wookiee slaves being held by the Empire. Although the Empire was holding Wookiee prisoners, the rebels were fed false information as to their location, and the Ghost docked with a Gozanti-class cruiser that the rebels believed held the slaves. Jedi survivor Kanan Jarrus, Lasan Honor Guardsman Garazeb Orrelios, and Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren, and the droid C1-10P boarded the ship, while the Lawbringer dropped out of hyperspace and captured the Gozanti-class cruiser and the Ghost. With the ships captured, Kallus and his stormtroopers also boarded the cruiser and attacked the rebels. Wren and the droid shut down the gravity generator on the ship, taking the Imperials by surprise and giving the rebels an opportunity to escape. As they did, Kallus was able to capture Ezra Bridger, a new member of the Ghost crew who had boarded to warn the rebels that the Lawbringer had arrived.

Droid distress call
"Have no fear. Help is on the way."

- Kallus, to C-3PO

Skills and abilities
Kallus was trained in both riot control and heavy combat, and wore an ISB helmet designed for such situations. He underwent extensive training to become proficient in fighting and was a dangerous foe in hand-to-hand combat. After the fall of Lasan, he learned to use a bo-rifle, and kept his as a trophy of his actions during the cleansing. He was able to successfully use this weapon against Garazeb Orrelios, a trained Honor Guardsman, during a fight on Lothal.
