Nom Anor is of the Yuuzhan Vong. He is a member of the intendant caste of the Yuuzhan Vong, and his duties were mostly espionage.
He was essential in "softening up" the Star Wars galaxy for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, mainly by spreading dissent and confusion among the New Republic's member planets.
However, he was also responsible for some of the worst setbacks the Yuuzhan Vong faced.
Through the entire war of the Star Wars galaxy against the Yuuzhan Vong, Nom Anor won some considerable victories.
- Stirred up dissention between two New Republic member planets at the start of The New Jedi Order.
- Created the Peace Brigade, a pro-Yuuzhan Vong organization that was responsible for the capture of several Jedi and the weakening of the Republic's war front.
- He was the leader of the heretical Jeedai cult which receive support from the Yuuzhan Vong underclass.
However, he was also responsible for some of the worst setbacks the Yuuzhan Vong faced.
- Was responsible for the New Republic-won battle of Ebaq 9, due to enemy misinformation.
- Attempted to assassinate most of the Jedi with bo'tus using the deception-sect priestess Elan.
- Tried and failed to kill Mara Jade Skywalker with coomb spores.
- He failed in trying to destroy the living world Zonama Sekot.
He died in the final book of The New Jedi Order series, The Unifying Force, along with Onimi, Supreme Overlord Shimrra's minion, though fans believe his "off-screen" death was left ambiguous enough to allow a comeback in post-NJO novels - and rumors coming from the OS have claimed that in the upcoming Denning trilogy, Nom Anor would make a "sweeping return".

Onimi
While Onimi seemed weak, with his torso twisted, with short limbs and small hands, his worst feature was his wretched face. Despite his dimunitive and pitiful appearance, he possessed a connection to the Force that has been lost to other Yuuzhan Vong for many thousand of years. This gave him the power to manipulate the minds of others.
His most deadly weapon was his ability to produce toxins lethal to all who were infected by them. Under the guise of court jester to Supreme Overlord Shimrra, he secretly controlled the Overlord and, consequently, the entire Yuuzhan Vong. His identity as the mastermind of the invading race was revealed towards the end of the book The Unifying Force, when Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo penetrated the Supreme Overlord's chambers in an effort to quickly end the war.
He was killed by Jacen Solo, cementing the Jedi's place as one of the strongest of the New Jedi Order.
Shimrra
Supreme Overlord Shimrra is the leader of the Yuuzhan Vong. Little does he know that his warlord plots to overthrow him as soon as he has the chance. He was killed in the New Jedi Order novel, The Unifying Force when the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances retook Coruscant.
Physically, Shimrra is imposing. Tall, even by the standards of the Yuuzhan Vong, he is also heavily built. He is feared in combat for his prowess, and he fought a duel with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker when the Galactic Federation returned to Yuuzhan'tar, or Coruscant. After Luke, and Jacen and Jaina Solo fought off his elite group of bodyguards, Luke faced Shimrra, while Jaina and Jacen followed his escaping servant Onimi. Luke struggled against Shimrra, but eventually slew him by severing his head with two lightsabers.
Little did the Jedi know that there was more to Onimi than met the eye. Being the last Yuuzhan Vong to possess a connection to the Force, he used mind controlling toxins to bend Shimrra to his will, and thus while posing as his jester, the cackling and deformed Onimi in truth bore supreme control over the entirety of the Yuuzhan Vong.
