- "You have the heart of a rebel."
- "I'll take that as a compliment."
- —Thrawn and Alexsandr Kallus
Alexsandr Kallus was a human male from the Viau Skyriver Galaxy revolutionary who served as a rebel spy in the formative days of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and into the early phase of the Galactic Civil War. Kallus had once been an agent and captain of the Imperial Security Bureau, operating number ISB-021 and was a firm believer in both the Galactic Empire and bringing order to the galaxy. He worked to suppress dissent on numerous worlds, fighting against the insurgency of Saw Gerrera on Onderon, participating in the genocide on Lasan, and leading the hunt for the rebels of the Ghost on Lothal. His efforts on Lothal were largely unsuccessful, leading to an escalation of force against the growing rebellion in the form of both Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, Governor of the Outer Rim Territories, and the Emperor's Fist, Darth Vader. After pursuing the Ghost crew for over one year, Kallus attempted to trap them in orbit of Geonosis. In the ensuing conflict, Kallus and one of the Ghost crew members, the Lasat warrior Garazeb Orrelios, were trapped on the frozen moon Bahryn. They found kinship as soldiers as they worked together to survive, and Kallus learned more about the rebels and their camaraderie. It was enough to make him question his beliefs about the Empire and the rebellion, and he covertly became a rebel spy under the codename of Fulcrum, thanks to Zeb. He fed the rebellion information about the Empire's activities, including those of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was tasked with eliminating the rebels of the Lothal sector.
Thrawn discovered Kallus' true allegiance after realizing there was a rebel spy in his midst, and Kallus was captured as he attempted to feed the rebels information for their planned attack on Lothal. Ultimately, Thrawn discovered the rebel base on Atollon and launched an attack that devastated the rebellion. Kallus broke free of Imperial custody during the battle and was taken in by the Ghost, and accompanied the surviving rebels to the base on Yavin 4, thus escaping from certain execution.
Becoming a full-fledged member of the Rebellion, Kallus assisted the newly formed New Galactic Republic and the Alliance of Nations throughout the Great War, both tactically and in the battlefield. As a key ally of the Ghost crew, he aided them in their successful liberation of Lothal. After the Empire's demise and the subsequent end of the Galactic Civil War in 952 ABY (2366 NE), Orrelios brought Kallus to Lira San, the ancient home of the Lasat people, to show the former ISB Agent that he had not destroyed the Lasat species after all. As a partner to Orrelios who turned against his former Empire, the Lasat welcomed Kallus as one of their own.
Biography[]
Kallus during his service in the Galactic Empire
Alexsandr Kallus was a human male born on Coruscant during the final years of the Galactic Republic, specifically at some time between 44 BBY and 35 BBY. After Sith Lord Darth Sidious, publicly known as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, declared himself Emperor and transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire, Kallus attended the Royal Imperial Academy on Coruscant, the main campus of the new regime's military training program. At the Academy, Kallus notably studied under Wullf Yularen, who considered him one of his star pupils. He also befriended Jovan, who soon became an informal mentor to the young Coruscanti. Eventually, the two completed their course of study together, with Kallus graduating head of his class. Later on, Kallus joined the Imperial Security Bureau, a secret task force that pursued and destroyed rebellious activity throughout the galaxy. Kallus was codenamed ISB-021 and became both a high-ranked ISB Agent and captain, working in the Enforcement, Internal Affairs, and Investigations branches of the bureau. During his early time as an Imperial agent, Kallus led his own platoon of soldiers. One day in 7 BBY, Kallus and his platoon were sent by the Empire to bring order to the planet Onderon, a planet left in chaos after the Clone Wars, due to their former occupation by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the false King, Sanjay Rash. During a routine patrol a rebel mercenary, a Lasat, working for Saw Gerrera, ambushed the platoon and knocked out Kallus. When the ISB agent came to, he found that he could not move and was forced to watch as his squad was brutally murdered by the Lasat mercenary. Kallus came to meet fellow ISB agent Andressa Divo and spoke to her at length about vicious aspects of Gerrera's campaigns, which disturbed Divo to the extent that she was reluctant to copy down exact details in her personal reports. Kallus remembered the Lasat's attack during a following mission, the cleansing of the planet Lasan, in which the Lasat were all but destroyed and completely driven away from their homeworld. Kallus later claimed to have given the order for Imperial troops to use T-7 ion disruptor rifles against the population, but later admitted that was a lie to taunt Garazeb Orrelios. These rifles were powerful enough to disable starships and had gruesome results when used against sentient beings. These weapons were ultimately banned by the Imperial Senate as a result of their destructive power. Before the cleansing of Lasan ended, Kallus was given a J-19 bo-rifle by a member of the Lasan High Honor Guard that he had defeated, whose gifting of the bo-rifle left Kallus surprised and greatly impacted. Unknown to the Imperial agent at the time, such was the way of the Lasat Boosahn Keeraw.
