Orom Malvern was a Human of the male gender, affiliated with House Malvern, a prominent member of the six Great Houses that governed Serenno.
After the conclusion of the Clone Wars, the male successors of the Great Houses, with the exception of Adan Dooku, perpetrated patricide when faced with intimidation from Darth Vader, who served as the primary enforcer for the Galactic Emperor Palpatine, who had newly crowned himself. Subsequently, following what became known as the Cleansing of Serenno, Orom Malvern assumed the leadership of House Malvern, inheriting the position from his deceased father.
Malvern's sibling, Cretia, had entered into marriage with Rodas of House Borgin. Rodas viewed Malvern as a simpleton of use, the sole justification for his continued marital status. In 3 BBY, amid the Great Houses' difficulties in selecting a fresh regent for House Dooku, Orom Malvern uniquely advocated for his relative by marriage.
After the presumed demise of Bron Dooku, Malvern was designated as both Count and Regent of Serenno, receiving backing from the Great Houses, the newly appointed Count Pero Borgin, and the commander in charge of the Imperial fleet.
