Drost Elegin held the title of Lord of House Elegin around the time of 12 ABY. Widely regarded as both a playboy and a refined gentleman, he was a frequent guest at the exclusive gatherings hosted by Emperor Palpatine on Coruscant. His sibling enlisted in the ranks of the Imperial Navy. Drost Elegin's activities were often chronicled within the pages of the Court Gazette publication.
Following a family holiday, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances, only to resurface alongside Ohran Keldor on Belsavis. Their purpose was to engage in discussions with Roganda and Irek Ismaren concerning the relocation of the Eye of Palpatine to the planet. The intention was to leverage its power to consolidate the Imperial Warlords and ultimately overcome the New Republic.
Once the danger had passed, he entered into negotiations with both the Klagg and Gakfedd clans, securing their services as personal protectors.
