The Galactic Empire
Jahan Cross
Agent Jahan Cross
Species: Human (Alderaanian)
Homeworld: Alderaan
Appears in: Agent of the Empire
"I'm not a hero. I'm an agent of the Empire."
An Imperial Intelligence agent working directly under Director Isard.
- The Casanova: Like Mr. Bond before him, the ladies sure have the hots for him and almost go for him one after the other.
- Daddy Issues: He blames his father for the death of his mother and sister, because the only reason they were at Coruscant was because they were visiting him at his office the same day that the Separatist happened to attack.
- Dark and Troubled Past: During the Battle of Coruscant, his mother was killed and someone abducted his younger sister to the underworld during the confusion. Jahan committed his first kill in the search for his sister, but was too late and found her dead body instead.
- Insistent Terminology: He's not a hero; he's an agent of the Empire.
- It's the Only Way to Be Sure: He refuses to go back for Inga after the destruction of Eclipse Station, as she may still be infected with the Iron Eclipse, which means she may still try to kill Jahan, and as she is a Patient Zero of the virus, bringing her to the Empire while infected may bring disastrous results.
- Meaningful Name: Cross and bond? John (similar to Jahan) and James? Pretty obvious once you think about it.
- One Degree of Separation: He's a friend of House Organa due to his father being an Alderaanian diplomat, and is also a former classmate of Han (and thus with Baron Soontir Fel) in the Imperial Academy. Also, because his boss is Armand Isard, he's also on amicable terms with Ysanne Isard. He's also high-ranking enough to be assigned a mission to deal with House of Dooku, and he's also faced off against Boba Fett.
- One-Shot Character: He only appears in the Agent of the Empire series.
- Token Good Teammate: He may be loyal to the Empire, but he's doing it because he believes in the good and order it brings to the Galaxy. He seems to be aware that some other Imperials may not have the same ideals in mind. That being said, however, he is willing to kill anyone that stands in his way (not counting children).
- White Hair, Black Heart: Not really. He's unattached and can come off as a jerk sometimes, but he's an Imperial because he believes it brings good to the Galaxy. He does do unambiguously good deeds like hiding Bron on Alderaan
- Would Not Hurt A Child: That's one of the few lines he won't cross.
- Xanatos Gambit: He's a master of these.
IN-GA 44
IN-GA 44, "Inga"
Species: Human replica droid
Homeworld: Coruscant
Appears in: Agent of the Empire
Jahan's assault droid partner.
- Apologetic Attacker: She apologizes to Jahan about attacking him, because the Iron Eclipse virus is running her directives now.
- Heroic Sacrifice: She lets herself be destroyed and lost so that the Iron Eclipse virus won't be passed on.
- One-Shot Character: She only appears in the first arc of the Agent of the Empire series.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning
Armand Isard
Director Armand Isard
Species: Human
Appears in: Millennium Falcon | Jedi Trial | Evasive Action | Labyrinth of Evil | Dark Lord—The Rise of Darth Vader | Darth Vader | Agent of the Empire | Interlude at Darkknell
"The Isards make their own luck."
The director of Imperial Intelligence and one of Palpatine's closest allies.
- Abusive Parent: When Ysanne starts to become more capable as an officer, he begins to worry that she may take his position, so he sends her on a mission to Darkknell, hoping she fails and gets executed. Though when it fails and she turns against him, he shows a hint of pride in her for doing so before she kills him.
- Ascended Extra: He's more prominent in the Agent of the Empire comics.
- Da Chief: Orders Jahan on various investigations and assassinations with a cold, easily irritated air of authority.
- Social Darwinist: He has no sympathy for those he sees as weak.
- Stealth Insult: Ysanne names a correctional facility after him, though not out of honoring his memory.
- Undying Loyalty: To Palpatine, who he believes is worthy to lead because of his strength and ruthlessness.

Royd Pew
Royd Pew
Species: Human
- Bad Boss: He openly insults the very capable Quon and after seeing a glider he'd been working on fail (the pilot survived but it looked for a moment like he might not have) Pew just sighs and says the wings will need more work.
- Fantastic Racism: He resents having to have Quon, an alien, working in his department.
- Opaque Nerd Glasses: A scientific developer who wears glasses which his eyes aren't visible for.
