Venn Eowelt was a minister serving within the Imperial Security Bureau of the Galactic Empire. During 5 ABY, Eowelt was taken into custody by Norra Wexley's team of New Republic operatives, a group of agents assigned the mission of capturing persons that Republic authorities desired to detain. Following this event, the minister's name card was stored on the crew's gunship, the Halo, along with the cards of other Imperials that the team had successfully captured. Temmin Wexley, a member of the team, remembered Eowelt's capture upon the occasion of adding another name to their collection of past achievements.
The character of Venn Eowelt received a mention in Aftermath: Life Debt, a novel released in 2016 by Chuck Wendig, which served as the second book in the Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy.
