An influential personage in
Coruscant affairs, Baron Papanoida has contacts throughout the galaxy of varying credibility providing him with intelligence in the Clone Wars. He often passes this information to highly placed contacts in the Senate or the
Jedi Council, leaving the recipients to gauge the veracity of his reports. During the hunt for
General Grievous, Papanoida's intelligence reports indicated that
Utapau was not a haven for the
Separatists. Papanoida has not commented on whether or not this was faulty data or a deliberate omission, which only adds to his shifty reputation.
