Rukh, Grand Admiral Thrawn's assassin
The Noghri were humanoid in shape, with a torso, a single head, two arms and two legs. Entirely hairless and wiry, they had gray skin and a row of short horns atop their heads. Their hands and feet each possessed four long digits. Although they stood upright, walking with a simian gait, the Noghri ran on all fours and were capable of leaping great heights and jumping long distances. They were also gifted with a keen sense of smell.
One Noghri was present on Wecacoe when Captain Cassian Andor traveled there to extract Imperial security protocols. Because of their strong sense of smell and advanced combat skills, Noghri were often employed as trackers and assassins. Rukh was a male Noghri assassin who often worked for Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn.
