I suspect that, like Tarkin and Yularen, he’s probably somebody who was already effectively doing the same job for the “republic” throughout the clone wars. I’d imagine most people in positions like that see their work stamping out rebel activity at the behest of Emperor Palpatine to be a direct continuation of their work stamping out separatist activity at the behest of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. In many cases they’re still going after the same people.
No piece of star wars media should assume I’ve seen anything but the movies. Tarkin is just some officer guy that saved a purpose in the first movie to me and I do t know who the other guy is. I did read on wooliepedia thar Tarkin was banging the storm trooper that Han or Luke murdered and impersonated.
Yularen was in first season of Andor. He’s the ISB colonel with the white hair and mustache that Dedra reports to after the heist. He’s also one of the people in the Death Star scenes with Tarkin and Vader in the first Star Wars movie. Krennic name drops both of them during the secret meeting in the first episode of Andor s02, but they’re all mostly just background imperial functionaries in the movies where the focus is more on the magic space wizards.
If you watch a billion hours of the cartoon you get some background about what they were up to 15 years or so before this show during the prequel trilogy era (spoiler: pretty much the same thing they’re doing now but with Jedi help), but it’s nothing plot critical. Andor does a great job of characterizing the generic imperial office workers and middle managers, and they’re all broadly the same type of guy. Partagaz only really stands out because Anton Lesser gives such a good performance.
