Anaxilaus Calliphon

Anaxilaus Calliphon was a male Human who served as one of Emperor Palpatine's early supporters during his years as a senator in the Galactic Republic, and later became an advisor in the Inner Circle of the Galactic Empire.

Early career
Born on Coruscant in 48 ABY, Calliphon attended the Coruscant State University, where he studied political science, galactic relations, and macroeconomics. After graduating, the young Calliphon went to work for the Galactic Republic, being employed as an economics advisor in the Ministry of Finance. During this time, he made many connections among the financial world of the Republic. When Palpatine visited Coruscant in 32 BBY as part of the Naboo delegation, the two met and had several conversations, becoming colleagues. Palpatine was impressed with Calliphon's knowledge of economics and banking, as well as politics. He told Calliphon of his plan to become the Supreme Chancellor, entrusting him with the knowledge. The economist had already been tired of the current holder of that office, Finis Valorum, who made many poor decisions regarding economics. Around that time, Calliphon was also contacted by Count Dooku, who attempted to recruit him for the Separatist cause. However, he declined. This was not because Calliphon felt loyal to the Republic; he held no such feelings. However, he felt that associating with Dooku and his movement would lower his overall position; as the Republic was the dominant force in the galaxy.
