Bail Organa

Bail Organa is a tertiary protagonist in Rico's Brigade, and the leader of the Rebel Alliance. He was a senator in the Galactic Republic during the time of the Clone Wars, representing his home planet of Alderaan. He was married to Breha Organa, and worked closely with the Jedi and Clone Army in fighting the Sepparatists, but as the war went on, grew increasingly wary of Chancellor Palpatine. After Palpatine reformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire, Organa began an armed resistance movement against the new tyranny. He would prove critical to uniting various anti-Imperial groups into the Rebel Alliance, which he would effectively lead, and would also secretly adopt Leia, the lost daughter of Anakin Skywalker, who had powerful force potential.

Roughly two years after Order 66, Rico would make contact with Bail Organa and the Rebels to form an alliance against the Empire. Bail Organa lead the negotiations, and agreed to the alliance, on the condition that Rico's Brigade would vacate the planet Dagobah, where Organa knew Jedi Grandmaster Yoda was hiding.

Bail would continue to lead the Rebellion against the Empire, but would eventually be kidnapped by Chaos, who was posing as Rebel officer Contra. The Rebellion would attempt to cover up the loss of their leader and pay the ransom Chaos demanded, but Choas kept increasing the ransom price because he really wanted access to the Rebellion's map archives, which he believed could lead him to powerful Sith artifacts. Organa eventually gave Chaos what he wanted in exchange for his freedom, though is absence from the Rebellion still caused the faction to all but collapse.

Trivia

 * Bail Organa is based on the Star Wars canon character of the same name who was first mentioned in A New Hope, but did not physically appear until Attack Of The Clones, where he was played by Jimmy Smits.
 * At this point in time in Star Wars canon, Organa would still be a senator within the vestigial imperial senate, and assisting the rebellion, which is much smaller than it is portrayed in Rico's Brigade, more covertly. The emergence of Rico's Brigade in this timeline likely caused the Rebellion's ranks to swell and Organa to take on a more active role.
