Isolder

Prince Isolder was the Chume'da of the Hapes Consortium, the son of Ta'a Chume, husband of Teneniel Djo, and the father of Tenel Ka.

Biography
Isolder unexpectedly became Chume'da when his older brother Kalen was murdered by a privateer. In order to track down his brother's murderer, he went undercover as a privateer to get information on who committed the crime. When Isolder located the perpertrator, he had him arrested. Unfortunately, the privateer was killed in his jail cell before he could be interrogated further.

Isolder suffered further when his fiancee, Lady Elliar, was found drowned in one of Hapes' reflecting pools. It would later come out that his mother, Ta'a Chume, had arranged the murders of both Kalen and Lady Ellian on political grounds, as she found them both too weak to rule.

When Leia Organa came to Hapes to discuss a possible alliance with the New Republic, Isolder fell in love with her. He asked his mother for permission to marry Leia, which she agreed to. When the Hapans arrived at Coruscant, they presented Leia with a gift from each of Hapes' 63 worlds. Isolder himself was presented as a gift from Hapes, and he proposed marriage to Leia. '' A jealous Han Solo kidnapped Leia and took her to Dathomir, a planet he won in a game of sabacc. Isolder and Luke Skywalker pursued them, but were captured by a Witch of Dathomir named Teneniel Djo. During the battle to defeat both the Nightsisters and Warlord Zsinj, Isolder fell in love with Teneniel Djo, and vowed to take her as his bride. Isolder also demanded of his mother that the Consortium join the New Republic, or else he will expose her treachery. Ta'a Chume grudgingly gave in to both demands.

Isolder and Teneniel Djo had a daughter, Tenel Ka. Isolder trained her as a future Queen Mother, but Teneniel Djo wanted Tenel Ka to choose her own path. Indeed, Tenel Ka had more desire to be a Jedi than to rule Hapes, and took after her mother's people. Isolder himself had no opposition to Tenel Ka's training, mostly because he felt it would be a good resource when she became Queen Mother.

After a plot to kill Tenel Ka was exposed, Ta'a Chume abdicated and Teneniel Djo became Queen Mother, with Isolder as her consort. They stayed out of galactic politics until the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, when Leia Organa Solo once again visited Hapes to solicit help.

Isolder, still in love with Leia, slapped Beed Thane after he insulted Leia. This provoked an honor duel, with the winner controlling the tie-breaking vote. Isolder won, and the Hapan Navy was dispatched to Fondor, with Isolder himself commanding the Song of War. However, due to Centerpoint Station being misaligned, the beam hit most of the Hapan Navy, destroying it. Isolder was blamed for the loss of many lives, and Teneniel Djo miscarried their second child due to the backlash she felt in the Force.

After Teneniel Djo fell into a deep depression, the people were clamoring for a strong leader. When refugees fleeing the Fall of Coruscant arrived at Hapes, Ta'a Chume bullied Isolder to divorce Teneniel Djo and marry Jaina Solo. When he hesitated, Ta'a Chume arranged for Teneniel Djo to be poisoned. Realizing that the Yuuzhan Vong War had reached a critical stage, Isolder told Tenel Ka, who was still mourning the presumed death of Jacen Solo, that if she did not succeed Teneniel Djo, someone less qualified would. Jaina, however, refused to marry a man old enough to be her father, and Tenel Ka announced that she would take up the throne of Hapes.

After crowning his daughter the new Queen Mother, he assisted in having his mother arrested and tried for the murder of Teneniel Djo. It is more than likely that Isolder became a close advisor to his daughter.
