Hux leaned in to whisper under his breath, "That's Ned Janko. He's Pax Darman's benefactor."

Frank raised a brow. "Is the Janko family really that impressive?"

Hux made a weary look at his question. "Well, Ned's family is next to the Four Families of Morhen in importance, and Ned himself is second-in-line to inherit leadership of the family.
