Nils Tothwin

"Whoever it was, they did not wish to be discovered. I suppose they favored a quick way out."

- Tothwin is fooled by Antilles faked death

Nils Tothwin was a jaundiced human male who served the Galactic Empire as a lieutenant in the Imperial Navy. He served under Admiral Rae Sloane on board the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Vigilance, although Sloane considered Tothwin a poor excuse for an Imperial, believing that all the best officers had died at the Battle of Endor. The Vigilance was stationed above the planet Akiva in preparation for meeting between surviving Imperials there, and prior to the meeting encountered the HH-87 Starhopper Rover there. Sloane ordered that Tothwin had the Rover pulled in by tractor beam after its pilot Wedge Antilles claimed to be a dead Devaronian named Gev Hassan. Tothwin did as ordered and prepared to fire at the ship if it tried to launch a proton torpedo at the Vigilance. The Rover did not fire, but self-destructed upon reaching the Star Destroyer, leading Tothwin to believe the pilot was dead. Sloane believed otherwise and ordered that he be found.

Nils Tothwin will be first mentioned in Aftermath, a novel set to be released in 2015 written by Chuck Wendig.
