An Imperial officer of the rank of general was taken into custody by Headmaster Gentis amidst Gentis' military takeover aimed at deposing the Galactic Emperor, Palpatine. While held captive by Gentis, the Headmaster tried to enlist the general in his rebellion, pointing to the Imperial Crematorium structure as the location where he first considered ousting Palpatine.
Having discovered the rationale driving Gentis' insurrection, the general became a member of the rebellion. Subsequently, Gentis revealed to him that the Death Star's existence was confirmed by a hologram, proving it was not just a rumor.
Ultimately, following Palpatine's reinstatement and the failure of the coup, the general was put to death by the Emperor.
