Gunter, whose name has two possible pronunciations ( /ˈgʊn.tə/) and ( pronunciations /ˈgʌn.tɚ/), was a human cyborg who operated as a pirate crew member during the New Republic Era. Initially, he served under the command of Captain Silvo, but following a botched raid targeting a merchant freighter, he pledged allegiance to the new leader, Brutus, and was promoted to First Mate. When Silvo later broke out of prison, Gunter participated in the hunt for the mutinous captain, eventually capturing him on Lanupa. During Silvo's trial, Gunter expressed doubt about Silvo's promise to lead the crew to At Attin, a remote planet said to house Old Republic credit mints. However, Gunter did not object when Silvo killed Brutus to reclaim his leadership position. During the Invasion of At Attin, he commanded the crew's pirate frigate but was unsuccessful in preventing the New Republic's counterattack.
Jaleel White portrayed Gunter in his debut appearance in the 2024 Disney+ live-action television series, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.
