Izzet Noor was a politician of the human male persuasion. During the High Republic Era, he represented the planet Serenno in the Galactic Senate as its senator, and he often spoke on behalf of the Galactic Republic concerning matters in the Outer Rim Territories. Unbeknownst to Noor, his aide, Jeni Wataro, was actually a spy working for the marauder organization called the Nihil. Following the Great Hyperspace Disaster, Noor became disgruntled with Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh's decision to close certain hyperspace routes in the Outer Rim, and Wataro encouraged him to seek the Chancellorship for himself.
