In the rough/first draft, Tarkin is Crispin Hoedaack, Vader is a general, and Valorum is a Sith Knight. The second draft combined Vader and Valorum.

 Right, I'd forgotten about Hoedaack. Well, they both have very similar positions anyway, and it's regardless very interesting to see that the name Vader wasn't always used for the Sith antagonist.
