This individual, a Imperial Navy Trooper of the male human variety, found himself in Cell 2187 while Princess Leia Organa was undergoing interrogation by Darth Vader on the Death Star. Subsequently, he escorted both Organa and Vader to the Overbridge, where he observed the destruction of Alderaan. Following the revelation that Organa had deceived them regarding the Rebel base's location on Dantooine, and acknowledging his refusal to betray Organa to Vader or Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, the trooper experienced a shift in allegiance and embraced her Rebellion. Shortly thereafter, the Death Star met its end during the Battle of Yavin.
