Tayand, a criminal overlord of the Sakiyan male species, ran his illicit activities from a headquarters located on the world of Cilare. After Connor Freeman triumphed over him in a Sabacc game, wagering his entire inheritance and winning, Tayand refused to acknowledge his loss. Accusing Freeman of cheating, he dispatched his thugs to pursue him. Freeman managed to evade capture, but lost his Credits in the process. This led Tayand to issue a bounty for Freeman's capture, as Freeman had damaged his ego and posed a risk to his standing. Among the bounty hunters who pursued the contract was Boba Fett. However, upon discovering the reality of the situation, Fett captured Freeman only to subsequently release him. Fett then eliminated Tayand with a shot to the head, motivated by a bounty Freeman instantly placed on Tayand for three credits after Tayand became difficult and rejected Fett's proposition to settle the debt Freeman supposedly 'owed' in return for Freeman's liberty.
