"Fiery" Figrin D'an, a male Bith musician, was known for his role as the leader and frontman of the band Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, where he skillfully played the Kloo horn. He also had a brother named Barquin D'an.
Born a male Bith on their species' homeworld, Figrin D'an demonstrated a natural talent for music and exceptional hand-eye coordination, enabling him to master various instruments. This led him to become the leader and organizer of the all-Bith band Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. Although D'an primarily played the Kloo horn, he was also proficient at the Gasan string drum. Despite his demanding and obsessive nature, the Modal Nodes achieved a respected position within the music scene and found moderate success across the galactic stage. However, the band mostly performed in the Outer Rim Territories, likely due to the absence of vocals in their music. They were particularly popular at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley on Tatooine, where patrons preferred D'an's Gasan string drum performances over his Kloo horn playing. D'an secretly used the band's earnings to fund his gambling habits, often resorting to cheating at cards without his bandmates' knowledge.
Not long before the Battle of Yavin, D'an and the Modal Nodes famously played their signature song, "Mad About Me," at Chalmun's cantina. Their performance was disrupted when Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi defended the young farmboy Luke Skywalker by severing the arm of the Aqualish Ponda Baba. After the altercation, the band resumed playing as the cantina's customers returned to their drinks.
Being a Bith, Figrin D'an possessed a natural musical talent and remarkable manual dexterity, allowing him to excel at playing many musical instruments. As the leader of the Modal Nodes, Figrin D'an was known to be compulsive and overbearing, yet the band managed to attain a respected reputation in the music world. Regardless, Figrin was an amazing frontman, and his skillful Kloo horn playing got him the moniker "Fiery" Figrin.
