[edit] Biography
Tendau Bendon was the Senator of the Ottega Sector during Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum]'s last term. Bendon was among the Senators who openly supported Valorum, even if most of the Senate would have rather replace the Chancellor.[1]
In 33 BBY, Chancellor Valorum proposed the taxation of the until then free trade zones. Senator Palpatine of Naboo then suggested that a part of the collected money could be invested in the growth of planetary systems in the affected areas. Bendon and other Senators of the region, including Yarua and Horox Ryyder, cheerfully supported the idea.[1]
Bendon was a staunch opponent of the Military Creation Act. He served as a Senator during Clone Wars. He was arrested in 19 BBY, because he was a member of Delegation of 2000.
[edit] Personality and traits
During his time in Coruscant, Bendon visited the Coruscant Opera House, like many other politicians of the time. Bendon was known to have assisted to a representation of The Brief Reign of Future Wraiths, performed by a Bith company.[1]
[edit] Behind the scenes
He was to appear in The Phantom Menace, but was cut from the final version.
Some reference sources mistakenly identify an Ithorian merchant from Mos Espa as Senator Bendon.[2]
