Bal Jaset

Bal Jaset was an Imperial Advisor and the High Lord of House Melantha. Originally, Jaset had served as a Privy Councilor to Emperor Palpatine, though he was generally not considered on of the Inner Circle. In 7 BBY, Jaset assumed his post as Lord of House Melantha. Because of his close relationship with Imperial Center, he was able to get a great deal of support from the Empire, and brougth Melantha to a position of prominence over House Mecetti. Jaset's ultimate fate is unknown, but if Mecetti's vindictive reputation is taken into account, he was most likely killed shortly after the Battle of Endor.

In addition to his support of the Empire, Jaset was also a known womanizer. During his time as High Lord, he sired at least thirty illegitimate children, as well as taken on an uncounted number of lovers.
