Pollus Avesta was a male Human hailing from Makeb. He was also the younger sibling of Shalim Avesta, the leader of that planet's government.
In the time of the Conquest of Makeb, Pollus Avesta was in command of the family's military forces, fighting against both the Hutt Cartel and the InterStellar Regulators. Avesta collaborated with the Sith Empire to orchestrate a widespread uprising against the Hutts, the intention of which was to create a diversion so the Empire could gather isotope-5 from the planet. Despite being suspicious of the Empire's true intentions, Avesta consented to plan a synchronized assault on the Cartel and Regulator forces.
