Pwoe
From the Encyclopedia of Speculative Fiction - http://encyclopedia.wizards.pro
Pwoe was a corrupt politician in the New Republic during its last decade.
At the start of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Pwoe was the Quarren Senator of Dac in the New Republic Senate and served on Borsk Fey'lya's Advisory Council. He was also one of the anti-Jedi members of the Council.
Pwoe’s ambition made him a natural competitor against Fey’lya political greed, lending strength to rumors that Fey’lya pushed for his inclusion on the Advisory Council as an insult to the Mon Calamari despite the political threat Pwoe represented.
After the Fall of Coruscant and the death of Fey’lya, Pwoe, along with Chelch Dravvad, Niuk Niuv, and Fyor Rodan, were the only Council members to reach Borealis. Pwoe seized the opportunity and declared himself Chief of State. With the support of the three remaining Council members, Pwoe ordered Wedge Antilles to sacrifice Borleias to the Yuuzhan Vong to allow the Council time to escape.
When Senators Cal Omas and Triebakk resurfaced on Dac with most of the Senate, they called all surviving members to elect a new Chief of State. Pwoe, fearing for his political survival, angrily ordered the Senate to convene on Kuat to confirm his appointment. At this point, the other Council members realized his personal intentions. The Council abandoned Pwoe, the Senate rebuked him, and the Quarren withdrew his Senatorial status. In the subsequent election on Dac, Pwoe received three votes, but he declared the election illegal and those participating traitors. Cal Omas was elected, and his support diminished even further. Pwoe, cut off from his ever dwindling supporters—and possibly reality—attempted to make a separate peace treaty with the Peace Brigade and Supreme Overlord Shimrra, but was arrested by Jaina Solo and General Tigran Jamiro's forces when the New Republic attacked Ylesia. His fate after that is unknown.
