The short story "Old Friends: Ephant Mon's Tale", penned by Kenneth C. Flint, delves into the history of Ephant Mon. Notably, it stands out as a rare Star Wars narrative told from the "I" perspective. It was included within the anthology Tales from Jabba's Palace, released in December of 1995 under the Bantam Spectra imprint.
Ephant Mon is in Jabba the Hutt's debt, specifically a life debt. To settle this debt, Mon aligns himself with Jabba, acting as an informant and exposing conspiracies targeting the Hutt. In addition to informing, Mon also provides counsel and gathers intelligence for Jabba. A prime example of this occurs when Mon experiences a strange premonition regarding the Rebel Alliance members held captive by Jabba. Mon cautions Jabba against executing these prisoners, but Jabba disregards the warning. Realizing Jabba is on a path to destruction, Ephant Mon proclaims his debt fulfilled and severs his ties with Jabba.
