Sluncan, a Gigoran of the male sex, served as the dedicated bodyguard for Jayyar Lu-wehs. As a security measure, Sluncan not only escorted Lu-wehs but also safeguarded Lu-wehs' prized possessions. He was equipped with a translating vocoder, sported cream-colored fur, and possessed yellow eyes.
Lou Anders's junior novel Pirate's Price, released in 2019, marked the initial appearance of Sluncan within canon.
