C2-D4, a protocol droid, was initially the property of Queen Lina from the planet Onderon. Later, the Wookiee [Jakarro] (/article/jakarro) gained possession of him; Jakarro detached the droid's appendages and wore his head as a translator around his neck. Possessing a criminal history rare for protocol droids in the galaxy, C2-D4 displayed a remarkable talent for both deceit and homicide, even prior to his association with Jakarro. He skillfully employed his linguistic abilities to influence situations for personal gain. Ultimately, he was designated to support the irascible Jakarro during the Wookiee's trip to the royal court of Onderon, and when the smuggler departed, the court permitted Jakarro to bring C2-D4 along.
