| - Mondol Ens was a male Mezzel from Mezlagob. He had a successful career as a law enforcement officer and prison guard, working his way through the ranks of the Mezlagob Correctional Authority in a succession of management and supervisory roles. He was investigated only once for the use of excessive force; the charges were eventually dropped in a hearing. In 143 ABY, he was appointed Warden of Szenjupendri Prison. Shifting budget priorities in the Golden Empire, particularly in the wake of the Tribulation, threatened reduced spending on prisons. In 144 ABY, agents of Quisher Realty and Development, LLC approached Ens with a bribe. Quisher hoped to purchase large tracts of land nearby, and wished to see a rise in crime rates to drive down property values. The agents paid off Ens to spike the food of some of Szenjupendri's inmates with drugs which would decrease inhibitions and increase combativeness, making recidivism outside the prison much more likely. Ens accepted in return for covert payments, intending to not only profit from the deal, but also secure funding for his prison when politicians saw the rise in crime and a continued need for Szenjupendri to remain well-staffed. An increase in both recidivism and in-prison riots and combative behavior drew two investigations, but Ens and his staff escaped suspicion. The Order of Keltrayu conducted its own investigation, sending the Doloy Centurion Baylis Scytha undercover as an operative. Scytha eventually realized what had been done and, along with fellow Centurions Menina Robraso and Kylaea Porén, seized control of the prison. Ens attempted to shoot Scytha; the Centurion cut off his gun hand with his lightsaber. Ens was tried for public corruption and sentenced to death. By order of the Consul of Mezlagob, he was incarcerated at Szenjupendri himself until his execution in 149 ABY.
