Abel G. Peña


Abel Gustavo Lopez Peña IV is an author who has contributed reference materials and articles to various Star Wars publications, including Star Wars Insider, the Official Star Wars Website, the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, Star Wars Gamer, The Official Star Wars Fact File, and Vader: The Ultimate Guide. Furthermore, he translates rare Star Wars comics from Spanish and Italian. Renowned for incorporating obscure and discontinued Star Wars information into his work, Peña actively engages with the fan base, posting on the StarWars.com blogs and the Jedi Council Forums under the usernames "Halagad" and "Halagad_Ventor".

This fascination with the obscure West End Games character Halagad Ventor resulted in Peña's secondary role within Star Wars: that of a model. In 2005, artist Joe Corroney utilized Peña's likeness as the foundation for his depiction of Ventor in Insider 84's HoloNet News.

He holds membership in the Star Wars Fanboy Association.
