His Excellency Moff Nile Owen was an ambitious and talented Imperial officer who served as Governor of the Rayter sector early in the Galactic Civil War. He liked to use furred cloaks with his Imperial uniform. Threatening, intelligent and cultured, Owen also enraged easily and executed anyone failing him for either betrayal or ineptitude. As such, he killed his assistant Nak Farool when he discovered Farool was conspiring to oust him. He also killed a company of mercenaries when they failed to bring him live prisoners to question.
