Cumberlayne Aresko

"This is LRC-01. I am bringing in a citizen under a charge of treason."

- Cumberlayne Aresko

Cumberlayne Aresko, operating number: "LRC-01", was a Human male who served as an officer in the Galactic Empire. In 3272 LY, Aresko held the title of Commandant and was stationed in Capital City, on the planet Lothal. Along with Taskmaster Myles Grint, he was charged with training cadets at the local Imperial Academy. Along with Grint, he once tried to arrest the merchant Yoffar for treason, but a timely distraction by Ezra Bridger saved Yoffar from a possible bad end.

Aresko, along with Grint, attempted to stop the activities of the rebel crew of the Ghost on numerous occasions. Due to their multiple failures, they were executed by the Inquisitor, on the orders of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin.

Personality and traits
Aresko exhibited the typical air of arrogance common amongst imperial officers. Self-assured, self-important and cruel, Aresko commanded respect from his underlings, though his haughty and confident display masked his inner fear of his superiors. His cowardly nature revealed itself whenever he had to report to Agent Kallus or The Inquisitor, as he would timidly spout excuses or attempt to shift blame from himself. Whereas Kallus would lead his men into battle, Aresko typically shouted orders from the sidelines and was quick to protect himself rather than his men. He was typically seen as the brains to Grint's brawn, yet despite being better spoken than his assistant he rarely proved to be competent.
