Carried the Jedi Credit with his father's face upon it in his pocket.
Hal partnered with Gil Bastra when Gil first started out.
Hal was the one assigned to investigate the death of Wedge's parents. He never found the murderer, but it wasn't for lack of trying. Hal wrote Wedge off when he started smuggling, saying he was lost to them.
Hal recorded a message for Corran on the event of his death discussing their Jedi heritage. He later uploaded the file to Whistler when Corran joined CorSec, instructing Whistler to play it for Corran whenever Corran asked for it and was able to provide the proper encryption key.
He was known to complain about the changing nature of organized crime and how criminals were more willing to kill many to get at their one target in more recent times.
He and Gil were also known to say that most criminals were stupid because they only lived for the moment, for now. They didn't plan ahead or think about the consequences of their actions, which is why they were caught.
Booster Terrik was one of the most elusive criminals Hal ever pursued. Booster frustrated Hal, but Hal never came to hate him. He pursued Booster because Booster had broken the law, and became frustrated that Booster was so hard to catch, but he never allowed himself to take it to a personal level.
He assumed that the Rebellion was having as much success as it was due to the Empire not enforcing moral standards like they once had, allowing people like Thyne to thrive.
Nyche's death served to bring Hal and Corran closer together than they had before. On the anniversary of her death, he cried for her and reminisced about how good of a woman she was. "And now she has no more later, and there seems little reason in having a later without her."
Hal and Corran arrested Zekka Thyne for smuggling, but they suspected him of having murdered almost a dozen people in the service of Black Sun.
Hal was killed over a year and a half after Thyne was sentenced to Kessel.
Hal was sitting in a booth with a small human male and a female Quarren when Bossk came in, pulled a blaster carbine from beneath his cloak, and shot all three of them. Hal was shot twice high in the chest, where he slammed up against the back of the booth before sliding to the floor. He was dead before Corran, who had been watching the whole thing by remote, could get to him.
Hal is described as talking agitatedly to the small man before his death. This agitation may have been caused by the conversation, but it may have also been brought about by an unclear message from the Force. If Corran was having bad feelings about the whole situation, it stands to reason that Hal, with his Jedi training, should have been feeling it as well. He may have been agitated because he couldn't tell what was going to go wrong, just that things were about to blow up in his face. Since the major threat was coming from a Trandoshan, this made it even harder for him and Corran to detect the source.
Everyone from the Director on down to the rookies that Hal had taken under his wing attended his wake and toasted him.
Partway through Wedge's Gamble, Corran thinks on how chaotic his life has been in the past five years. The first thing he cites is Hal's death. If my calculations are correct, this would put Hal's death as sometime before Empire Strikes Back. This is cutting it very close, as Hal is still alive right before the Derra IV incident. For this to have any chance of fitting, Hal had to have died not too long after the Derra IV incident.
