Biography
As tensions between the Supreme Chancellor Signet Mezzileen and various factions in the Republic reached boiling point, Lar began to have doubts about Council leader Vy Hu'ro's closeness to the Supreme Chancellor. As the Mezzilenic War took off, Hu'ro made sure that Bothan Space remained firmly behind the Republic while Lar secretly supported the Jedi Coalition. When his nephew Arf arrived on Kothlis on behalf of the Coalition, Lar agreed to meet him at a secluded tavern away from his estate. After hearing his nephew out, Lar agreed to help him speak with the Bothan Council but warned him of the great danger he was in from Hu'ro.

After Lar left, Arf and his Jedi guards were ambushed by Bothans loyal to Hu'ro and Arf lead the Jedi into Lar's mansion and confronted his uncle, believing he had betrayed them. Arf then tried to strangle Lar but was only stopped by the senior Jedi Nin, and this gave time for Lar to tell him of a secret way into the Bothan Council chambers in an effort to convince Arf of his innocence. However Arf remained unconvinced so Lar offered to accompany them, putting himself in great danger in the process, and his nephew finally agreed.

Lar took Arf and the Jedi down to Bothawui in his personal shuttle and then escorted them through the tunnel towards the Bothan Council. However a team of assassins were waiting for them and they attacked and despite the Jedi's best efforts, Arf was injured. As the lead assassin moved forward to finish him off, Lar stepped between him and his nephew in order to defend him with his life. It was then that he noticed his son Bard was leading the attack, and as he took this all in, he was killed by an assassin's shot.

Lar's death would not be in vain and Arf was able to plead his case before the Bothan Council and reveal Hu'ro's role in Lar's death. The Council overthrew Hu'ro and although he attempted to to seize back power with an assault on Kothlis, he was soundly defeated and fled Bothawui. His nephew replaced him as leader of the Fey'lya clan and was elected to lead the Bothan Council, after which he allied the Bothans with the Jedi Coalition just as his uncle had hoped.
