Biography[]
Passel Argente was an adult male member of the Koorivar race of the planet Kooriva. In the years leading up to the Clone Wars, he was the magistrate of the Corporate Alliance and also served as a senator in the Galactic Senate.
During the Separatist Crisis, the Corporate Alliance sided with the Confederacy of Independent Systems and Argente abdicated his position with the senate and became a member of the Separatist Council. The group met with their spokesperson, Count Dooku on the planet Geonosis on the eve of the Clone Wars. [1]
Two years later, Passel Argente and the rest of the Separatist Council set up a temporary base of operations on Level 10 on the planet Utapau. Just before Chancellor Palpatine restructured the Republic as the First Galactic Empire, he had General Grievous relocate the council to Mustafar.
Once the Galactic Empire was firmly established, there was no longer any need to maintain the Separatist Council. Palpatine ordered his newest Sith Lord, Darth Vader, to go to Mustafar and assassinate the council. Vader did as instructed and killed all of the remaining council members with his lightsaber, including Passel Argente. [2]
