Jallar Golin

Jallar Gollin was an Emperor's Hand who served Emperor Palpatine during the Galactic Civil War.

Biography
Gollin was born in the Outer Rim and eventually travelled to Coruscant, where he came to the attention of Emperor Palpatine. He underwent some training in the Imperial Army and was later trained as one of the Emperor's Hands, Dark Jedi agents who served Palpatine.

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Palpatine felt a disturbance in the Force that originated on the planet Yorgraxx. He summoned Gollin to the Imperial Palace an ordered him to investigate the source of the disturbance and bring it back. Gollin travelled to Yorgraxx in a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle and landed it there. He then travelled on a speeder bike to a Sith fortress there. However, as he arrived at the enterance, he encountered a group of Imperial and Rebel Alliance personnel who had just joined forces to defeat the spirit of Quorlac Fornayh in the fortress. Gollin assumed that the Imperials were in command and has captured the Alliance personnel.

Personality and traits
Due to his upbringing, Gollin hated almost everyone and Palpatine encouraged this, as it strengthened his tie to the Dark side of the Force. He was ruthless and arrogant and also very suspicious, so he liked to verify anything he heard before reporting it. He also liked to use force to accomplish his aims, but used it sparingly and precisely, as he believed that a more heavy-handed applocation of force was ineffective.

Behind the scenes
Jallar Gollin made his only appearance in Shadows in the Force, an adventure supplement to the Star Wars Roleplaying Game released in 2004. In that the players, who are the group of Rebels and Imperials Gollin encounters, have the option to try and kill him. If they do, then Gollin's death is sensed through the Force by Palpatine and he sends Darth Vader to Yorgraxx to investigate what is happening there.
