The Movies

Grand Moff Tarkin was the Imperial governor of the Outland Regions, and the mastermind of the Death Star project.

Expanded Universe

Even as a young man, Wilhuff Tarkin was a being of vision. He saw the decay inherent in the Republic all too well from his base of operations in the Outer Rim.

Behind the Scenes

The rough draft of Star Wars didn't have Tarkin as an Imperial official at all. Instead, the Grande Mouff Tarkin was a holyman of a religion native to Aquilae, and an extremely minor character.
