Leto Antilles was the ruling monarch of Alderaan during the Mandalorian Wars and the two major conflicts that followed. He had one daughter, Talia Antilles, and when she married Senator Padric Bac II Leto was given one grandson named Ussej Padric Bac. Six months after his grandson's birth, Padric and Talia traveled to Coruscant to attend a seminar on homeland security and the aftermath of the Mandalorian Wars. The day before they planned on returning to Alderaan, they were killed by an assassin’s bullet. The preliminary investigations into the assassination pointed to a manufacturing company in the Unknown Regions called Shadows of the Phoenix, though the investigation found a dead end and the case was never solved, despite significant backing to solve it by Leto and dozens of members of the Alderaanian Legislature.
Because of the assassination of his daughter and son-in-law, Leto raised his grandson for six months before Ussej was discovered by the Jedi Order to be worthy of Jedi training. Leto allowed the Jedi Knight that found Ussej, a man named Brarh Kefle, to observe him, and he later bid farewell to Ussej after allowing the Jedi to take him to Coruscant. It was unknown whether or not he ever saw his grandson again.
