Dalmun Hess

"I am a whore, and I serve the New Republic best on my knees in order that the New Republic never be brought to its knees by whores like you. A whore who sells himself for credits. Where's the pleasure in that?"

- Leia Organa

Dalmun Hess was a male assassin, mercenary, and leader of General Leia Organa's Secure Assessment, Blowback, and Estimation unit with the Resistance. Having previously attempted to assassinate Organa, Hess worked for her to recruit criminals from the Coruscant underworld around the time of the Battle of Starkiller Base.

Biography
Dalmun Hess was born on Denon in 28 BBY, and gained paramilitary training with the Antarian Rangers. He became a mercenary seeking work with the highest bidder, and operated as a bounty hunter and assassin for Black Sun and Crimson Dawn before its fall. He had criminal contacts in the Coruscant underworld, and partnered with Kaashia Hess.

He was opposed to the New Republic's pacifism and military disarmament, and operated as a destabilizing agent on behalf of a Bothan senatorial delegation and factions connected to it. He obtained the infamous holocube The Girls of Jabba's Palace from Argon Lan, which later assisted in the downfall of Senator Leia Organa. He watched Organa's sexual exploits on the stolen holocube, though it was later said to have been obtained by Nescan Tal'Yo.

Hess encountered Organa personally, attempting to assassinate her and use the prurient footage in his possession to blackmail her, but was swayed by the temptress. He joined her Resistance movement against the First Order, as one of a network of spies and agents hand-picked from Organa's pool of allies. He became one of her regular lovers, proving capable, and led her personal Secure Assessment, Blowback, and Estimation unit. Hess ventured to the Coruscant underworld to leverage former criminal contacts to recruit other rogues like him among bounty hunters, assassins, pirates, smugglers, and mercenaries. He was in the underlevels during the Hosnian Cataclysm and the Battle of Starkiller Base, and strove to reunite with Organa.

Organa considered Hess among other lovers while reflecting upon recent events after the departure of the Millennium Falcon from D'Qar, and was left pained that her capable lover was many parsecs away from her. Hess attempted to reunite with her after the Battle of Crait.
