In the Zahn trilogy from the early 90s, Pelleaon is a captain on the Chimera, which is Thrawn's flag ship just like in the shows. He is our "window into Thrawn's genius", with Thrawn using him as a student, showing him multiple times how studying the art of a species allows him to know their psychologial / tactical weak points. He compares Thrawn favorably to Vader / Sheev for not flying into a rage when things don't go his way.
Pelleaon was at the Battle of Endor in the EU and eventually becomes a Grand Admiral himself much later. When the Yuzhn Vong (creepy aliens who use bio-weapons and can't be felt in the Force) try to kill everyone decades later, he's very old, but still in command and crushes them at some huge battle with an Orbital Bombardment strategy, proceeding to dunk on their commanding officer by hailing their flagship and telling them something akin to, "You may win the occasional battle, but the Empire will always strike back."
Cheesy I know, but you had to be there.
