- "My regent, we are—eh—happy to certify that all tests are positive! Prince Denid lives!"
- ―Chozz Wardle
Chozz Wardle was the royal physician to the House of Lorac on the planet Velmor. When Prince Denid returned to his homeworld in 3 ABY,[2] after nearly 20 years of exile, Wardle was the one to verify his identity. Although he knew that the ruling regent, Zelor would be displeased with the news, he declared Denid to be the long-lost son of King Lorac to the royal court.[1] In his official report, Wardle stated his opinion that Denid would make a fine king. However, shortly after submitting his official report about Denid's identity, Zelor had Wardle and his entire staff executed.[2]
