Plo Koon - Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith

Dispatched to Cato Neimoidia to deal with a Separatist stronghold, Plo Koon led the 442nd Siege Battalion to victory in the final days of the Clone War. Remaining behind on the planet to maintain Republic order, he would do routine aerial patrols in his starfighter.

It was during one of these routine patrols that he was set upon by his own troops. His wingman, Captain Jai'galaar, shot at Plo Koon's ship, causing the craft to crash and explode with him still in it.

Captain Jai'galaar - Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith

A clone trooper born and raised on Kamino, CT-55/11-9009 - known also as Jai'galaar or Jag for short - rose to the rank of captain in the Army of the Grand Republic during the Clone Wars. 

Serving as Jedi Master Plo Koon's wingman in 19 BBY, he accompanied his commander and the 442nd Siege Battalion to Cato Neimoidia, helping capture a Separatist command centre. 

Shortly after this victory, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine called for the activation of Order 66. Jag complied, opening fire on the Jedi's starfighter. Plo Koon was killed in the resulting explosion. 

Chase - Arrow: Season Three

A member of The League of Assassins serving under Ra's al Ghul, Chase (d. February 2015) was tasked with assassinating Thea Queen, after the latter - under the influence of Malcolm Merlyn - murdered Sara Lance, Ra's daughter's girlfriend. 

Getting close to his target, he made himself amiable to Thea, working as a DJ at her nightclub, Verdant, after her previous DJ bombed. Refusing to take her money, he instead took a kiss as payment. 

Hoping to start a relationship with Queen, she refused his advances, wanting to keep their relationship strictly professional. 

Chase continued to track both her and Malcolm, feeding intel back to fellow assassin Sarab. 

While Chase was devoted to his mission, he did form a genuine friendship with Thea. They eventually spent a romantic night together. Getting her alone, he laced her wine with cyanide, hoping to give her a quick and painless death. When this failed, thanks to Thea's training under her father, he fought back, attempting to slit her throat with the cheese knife she attacked him with. 

Although he was initially able to hold his own against Thea and Arsenal, who had arrived on the scene, he was overpowered by Merlyn, who shot him in the back. Rather than reveal his master's plans, Chase drank a second vial of cyanide, ending his life. 

Philip Harrison - Sardines

A former friend of Carl and John's growing up, Philip Harrison attended the Scout's Jamboree where he was molested by Carl's father Andrew, who was "teaching the boys how to wash themselves." 

Alerting others to what had happened, as well as the police, his whole family moved away when Andrew paid for their silence.

The incident caused a knock-on effect on the family and those in attendance. Those loyal to Andrew would say Pip was a liar and a troublemaker. Carl struggled with showing intimacy to others, causing trouble in future relationships. John was so traumatised that he refused to wash, baulking at even the mention of carbolic soap. Caroline, Carl, and Rebecca's sister disassociated herself from the rest of the family, refusing to bring her children around to the house. 

The Harrisons never returned to the local area. Or so it had seemed. 

Never forgetting the traumatic experience, he used the alias "Richard Ian Percival" or "Ian" for short to attend Rebecca (Carl's younger sister) and her fiancé Jeremy's engagement party years later. There, after trapping everyone in a wardrobe, he proceeded to cover it in lighter fluid, singing the sardine song as he went. 

It was only as Carl heard the song; did he realise that Ian was Pip. 

Dicky Lawrence - Sardines

A mutual acquaintance of Mark and Andrew, Dicky Lawrence was an influential businessman in talks about merging his company with Mark's. Mark hated him with a passion - calling him a prick - and hoped to use Andrew as a means to get into Lawrence's good graces. 

Andrew, also hating Dicky, broke ties with him two years earlier. 

Ian - Sardines

A friend and colleague of Jeremy, Ian was invited to attend Jeremy and his fiance Rebecca's engagement party. However, due to scheduling issues, his train arrived at the station later than anticipated. 

His identity was stolen by another guest "Richard Ian Percival", aka Philip Harrison, who used basic information to trick his way into the party, fooling everyone, so that he could take his revenge on Rebecca's father. 

Lee - Sardines

The younger boyfriend - by about 10 years as he was 21 - of Rachel, Lee attended the engagement party of Rachel's ex-boyfriend Jeremy and his new finance, Rebecca at their large country estate. He was a roofer by profession. 

Forced to play the family's party game Sardines, he initially checked Caroline's old bedroom but found no one, not thinking to check in the wardrobe where Rebecca and "Ian" were hiding. He continued in search of the house. 

Hearing voices later, he found Mark and Elizabeth in the room, as they too reluctantly got into the wardrobe. Upon seeing Geraldine, he asked her to top up his drink, the only one unaware that she thought herself a guest, not a server as originally intended. Stu offered to top up his glass, suggesting that they form a splinter group under the bed after Carl dismissed their relationship as mere flatmates. He agreed on the condition that they don't have sex. 

After Andrew corralled all the players into the wardrobe, Lee decided to take a photo of everyone for Twitter, finding the event to be hilarious. However, he became increasingly uncomfortable after dubious family secrets began coming out. 

The only one to remember that was another player looking for them, he reminded the others that "Ian" was still out there, though as they all learn too late that is not Ian but instead Philip Harrison, a friend of Carl and John's who Andrew had molested as a kid at the Scount's Jamboree. 

Trapped in the now locked wardrobe, he was left to the mercy of the vengeful Pip, who had doused the wood with lighter fluid, threatening to end all their lives with his lighter.
