Naroon Cuthus served as Jabba Desilijic Tiure's majordomo for many years. Ultimately, upon his retirement, the Hutt crime lord commanded that Cuthus be killed to prevent him from revealing confidential information to Jabba's adversaries. Notably, before his assassination, Cuthus convinced the Ortolan musician Max Rebo to agree to a permanent agreement where his band would play solely for Jabba in exchange for complimentary food.
Cuthus's demise created a rivalry between a Twi'lek, Bib Fortuna, and a Human smuggler known as Bidlo Kwerve, each vying for the position of Jabba's second-in-command.
