| Like many people his age, Hesith grew up during the last years of the Republic. He is not a native of the world he represents. He was born and raised on Alderaan and only came to Gall when his father, an idustrialist, set up a factory on the planet.
Hesith ran the family company as its CEO and during the days of the Empire won contracts for a number of projects. He did not, however, embrace the New Order. The Imperial Occupation of his adopted homeworld caused much suffering and he invested most of his company's profits in charities to help those who were suffering. The collapse off the Empire caused further suffering on Gall as local government fell apart. When Gall finally stabilized and joined the Republic, Hesith was one of the planets leaders.
Hesith was elected Senator for the first time ten years ago, on his campaign slogan "A Brighter Future". Since then he has worked tirelessly to secure funding for Gall's reconstruction program, championing relief bills, budgets for the arts, education and Health. Thanks to this work Gall is beginning to prosper.
Aside from domestic policies, Hesith works tirelessly on Republic wide issues as well. He sits on the Industial Tribunial, the Senate Budgetry Committee, The Judicial Review, and chairs the sub committee on Military Regulation. From his seat in the committee room, Hesith tries to limit the influence of industry and the growing power of the Chief of State. He fears the rise of another Palpatine in the future, and was instrumental in making it illegal for the CoS to declare war with out Senate sanction. As part of his work to reduce the military's power he has taken to voting against any attempt to increase of funding.
As a Senator, Hesith prefers manoeuvrings to all out debate. He has learned the value of a "quiet word" and "quid pro quo" in achieving his aims. But that does not mean he avoids debate- on the contrary he embraces it.
