Ethan Adare was a Human male who served the Imperial Mission, an organization dedicated to the Fel Empire's "Victory Without War" program, on the planet Tatooine during the Second Imperial Civil War. In 137 ABY, Adare met the Zeltron pirate Deliah Blue—who was pretending to be the Imperial Missionary Astraal Vao—as she was attempting to locate a trivalve assembly, which was essential for repairing her crew's ship, the Mynock. After visiting the local Imperial Mission's house, Adare provided Blue with the trivalve assembly, despite knowing that she was lying about her identity. After Blue eventually revealed her true identity to him, Adare helped her install the trivalve assembly on the Mynock.
