Gwellib Ap-Llewff

Gwellib Ap-Llewff was an Imperial Inquisitor during the Galactic Civil War.

Biography


Ap-Llewff began his Force training in the Jedi Temple but was assigned to the Agricultural Corps shortly before the Clone Wars. Following the rise of the Empire, Ap-Llewff was one of the AgriCorps members brought to Byss. Along with Antinnis Tremayne, Lanu Pasiq and Halmere, Ap-Llewff was selected from the AgriCorps Padawans by Darth Vader to be trained as Dark Jedi on Coruscant.

Ap-Llewff received the title of Inquisitor in 19 BBY on Coruscant alongside Tremayne, Pasiq and Halmere. He became a skilled combatant with expertise in hand to hand combat, blaster and bow marksmanship, and lightsaber combat.

Vader also trained them in the ways of the Force, and Ap-Llewff excelled at physical enhancement skills, such as accelerated healing, perceptual acuity or denial of pain. During his service he became knowledgeable in Imperial bureaucracy, alien cultures, languages, details on remote planetary systems, beast riding, repulsorlift operation, and most importantly, dark side history.



The details of his service to the Empire are unknown, but when the spirit of Emperor Palpatine returned, Ap-Llewff returned to Byss as one of the Dark Side Elite. Ostensibly, he died when Byss was destroyed in 11 ABY.

Behind the scenes

 * Ap-Llewff's name is based on a real-world language, that of the Welsh. The affix "ap," meaning "son of," and the prominent digraphs ll and ff in his name indicates this.
 * "Llewff" may be derived from "Llew", the Welsh for Lion.
