Biography

Early life

Benald Orlan was the son of the noble New Republic Admiral Karin Orlan. He studied at the Imperial University of Marngar III at the Thene Campus and was primarily interested in Imperial politics. His mother, Karin Orlan, joined the Rebellion shortly after he enrolled at the university, and his father was also a Rebel sympathizer.

Traitor

Unknown to his parents and younger siblings, he had informed the Imperial authorities about his parents' political alignment, and as a result the Imperials had the Orlan household and recorded several conversations between Karin Orlan and her husband. On the day Karin Orlan was promoted to lieutenant, the Orlan household was raided and executed Benald's father and siblings. Subsequently, three Alliance outposts were attacked by the Empire, five Rebel agents were revealed, and two contraband shipments were intercepted. All of this was because of Benald.

After graduation, Benald got a lowly job as a clerk in Galaxy Tours. His mother, now an admiral in the New Republic, learned the truth about her son some time after the establishment of the New Republic and immediately informed high command, who issued a bounty on her son.
