Biography
Edit
Kerri Lessev was born on Alderaan, but while still an infant she and her parents moved to Coruscant, where she grew up among the upper-class bureaucracy. At some point Emperor Palpatine had her parents arrested for opposing his actions and had them placed under "protective custody." Kerri never heard of them again.
She, and the children of dignitaries that also had been arrested, were brought before Palpatine in a staged event to show his caring. Kerri was in awe and the Emperor became an inspiration for her.
She and the other children were made wards of the Empire and were integrated into the COMPNOR SAGroup, through which they received an education in Imperial bureaucracy, culture, military operations, and intelligence.
Through tests Kerri was recommended for Imperial Intelligence's Destabilization Branch. After having completed Infiltration training, being indoctrinated, and double-agent training she was transferred there.
In this capacity she worked to play out the Emperor's advisors and Imperial Nobles against each other and keep them from plotting against the Emperor. Before she got sent out in the field however, she reviewed Rebel propaganda and got swayed by the speeches of Mon Mothma and Princess Leia Organa and came to realize the true nature of the Empire.
Even though Kerri did not join the Rebel Alliance she tried to help them by destabilizing the Empire from within. She helped remove some its most capable officers, among them Moff Varnier.
Personality and traitsEdit
After her meeting with Emperor Palpatine Kerri became very loyal to the Empire. When she learned the truth about the Empire's evil nature, however, she felt betrayed and confused. Afterward she no longer completely trusted anyone.
