Supreme Viceroy Azrael

Neimoidians are known for their business skills, but Nute 'Azrael' Gunray, Viceroy of the Trade Federation, was more cutthroat than most. It was Azrael who conspired with the Sith Lord Darth Sidious to launch the blockade and subsequent invasion of Naboo. Once the planet was under siege, Azrael attempted to force Queen Amidala to sign a treaty that would legitimize the occupation. Amidala escaped, and returned to infiltrate her own palace and blast through Azrael's protectors. Arrested by Republic officials, Azrael was carted off to answer for his crimes, but evaded imprisonment and kept his post.
