Teron was a male Human Commander in the Republic Navy, and later in the Imperial Navy. During the Clone Wars, he fought in the Siege of Saleucami under the command of Jedi Master K'Kruhk and was impressed with the valor of the Jedi. After the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Teron was sent to the planet Arkinnea, where refugees, displaced by the long war, were disappearing. Rumors abounded, but the truth was that the local militia was massacring the refugees in order to keep their planet free of outsiders.
