| - Ransolm Casterfo was a human male politician who served as a member of the Galactic Senate of the New Republic several decades after the Galactic Civil War. Growing up during the last years of the Galactic Empire on the Inner Rim planet of Riosa, Casterfo experienced much hardship and tragedy during his childhood. His parents were conscripted to work on the construction of the first Death Star and later perished due to their harsh working conditions. After a rough childhood, Casterfo was adopted by a wealthy offworld family. Despite his hatred for Darth Vader and Emperor Sheev Palpatine, he admired the Empire's centralization and, in his adult years, collected Imperial artifacts including banners, armor fragments, and helmets. As an adult, Ransolm became the Senator of Riosa and joined the Centrists, a faction in the Senate which supported greater political centralization and took a tough stance on law and order. Despite the deep animosity between the Centrists and the rival Populists, Casterfo was able to forge a partnership with the Populist Senator Leia Organa, a veteran of the Rebel Alliance. Together, the two nominal, political opponents worked together to investigate Rinnrivin Di's cartel and the Amaxine warriors, a paramilitary faction that sought to overthrow the Republic. Disillusioned with the growing deadlock and infighting in the Senate, Casterfo and Organa became friends. Later, Casterfo was manipulated by his Centrist colleague Lady Carise Sindian into exposing Organa's true parentage as the daughter of Darth Vader. Feeling betrayed by Organa's perceived indiscretion, Casterfo revealed her true parentage to the Senate, destroying her political credibility and undermining her nomination for First Senator. Guilt-ridden over his vindictiveness, Casterfo later made amends for his breach of trust by defending Organa when she gave a speech at the Senate highlighting the threat of the Amaxines to the New Republic. As a result, Casterfo regained Organa's trust and friendship. However, Lady Carise, unwilling to entertain a dissenter among the Centrists, had him framed as the mastermind behind the Napkin Bombing, the Amaxines, and the assassination of Senator Tai-Lin Garr.
