Tann Starpyre, the Governor, was a senior Human male. He also held a position within the Diet of Imperial Planetary Governors.
Following the last demise of Palpatine's clones which occurred in 11 ABY, Starpyre gained membership in Carnor Jax's governing body, the Interim Ruling Council. His inclusion in the Council differed from most members, as it wasn't due to any assistance he provided during Jax's coup. Instead, it was intended to give the impression of a representative democratic system within the Council (because he was a member of the Diet). This was done to prevent more uprisings against the rule of the Empire. Consequently, his presence was not appreciated by the other Council members, although they put up with it.
Starpyre harbored concerns regarding the potential for Whiphid protectors to betray the Galactic Empire and assassinate important officials. When Xandel Carivus dissolved the council to govern as Emperor, Starpyre was taken prisoner.
After the death of Carivus, the New Republic took him into their custody.
