Biography
- "A word with you, Drexx… in private."
- ―The Koorivar
The uncle of[1] Corporate Alliance Magistrate[2] Passel Argente was a Koorivar male who worked for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the Clone Wars fought between the Confederacy and Galactic Republic, the individual bribed the Republic's Senator Bezz Drexx with credits in exchange for Drexx's loyalty to the Separatists. Senator Bail Organa suspected that Drexx had been receiving bribes, but he never obtained any proof.[1]
Argente's uncle at Drexx's party
The Koorivar delivered one such payment at a party hosted by Drexx on[1] the planet[3] Coruscant. In order to get the senator alone, he had to pull Drexx away from talking with Senator Padmé Amidala and one of Senator Organa's aides, Sheltay Retrac, both of whom were already wary of Drexx after discussing his suspicious wealth with Organa.[1]
The pair followed the Koorivar and senator, finding the Koorivar presenting Drexx with a case of money. The Separatist expressed his hope that it would be enough to keep Drexx loyal to the Confederacy, but the senator was more focused on a Narglatch speeder that the money would allow him to buy. However, he then noticed Amidala spying on their conversation and called for his guards to deal with her. She was able to escape with the evidence, which included a holovid of the Koorivar bribing the senator that she brought to the Republic.[1]
