Willrow Hood was a Human male miner
who lived and worked on Cloud City, a
floating station located above the gas
giant Bespin. He worked for A'roFilter, a
mining company sympathetic to the
Alliance to Restore the Republic, as the
head of the department responsible for
dealing with the Rebel Alliance, supplying
discounted Tibanna gas. Eventually,
though, the Galactic Empire invaded and
conquered the planet; in order to protect
the Rebellion contacts Hood was
responsible for, the miner took A'roFilter's
main computer's memory core, as it
contained the encrypted information on
Rebel contacts. After finding the nearest
disposal unit, Hood dumped the entire
core, rather than risk it falling into the
wrong hands; thus, Willrow Hood was able
to save the Alliance's interests. Hood
remained on Cloud City throughout the
Imperial occupation, suffering
imprisonment and torture but revealing
nothing.
