Unidentified Hutt enforcer
A male Human serving as a Hutt enforcer was employed by a rival Hutt clan to the Skar'kla Consortium just before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. This Hutt's objective was for the enforcer to disrupt the rival criminal syndicate and assassinate its leader, the Bothan crime lord named Akris Ur'etu. The enforcer was instructed to conceal his true identity by adopting the guise of a Jedi during the operation, thereby diverting any suspicion away from the rival Hutt. To achieve this, the enforcer utilized an extensive array of devices designed to mimic the abilities associated with The Force.
The enforcer successfully located and eliminated Akris, only to be defeated in combat by the Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane, who had been hired by the Bothan to assassinate the enforcer. However, Bane had discerned the enforcer's deception and, instead of killing him, proposed a bargain: the enforcer would be spared if he allowed Bane to collect the bounty and shared the knowledge of how to construct the equipment used to impersonate a Jedi.
Biography
Prior to the Clone Wars, a male Human enforcer was contracted by a rival Hutt faction seeking to undermine the criminal enterprise known as the Skar'kla Consortium. The Hutt's strategy involved employing the enforcer to disrupt the Ska'kla's operations and ultimately kill their leader, a young and affluent Bothan crime lord known as Akris Ur'etu. To avoid being implicated in the murder, the Hutt instructed the enforcer to disguise himself as a Jedi, thereby shifting suspicion onto the Jedi Order. To effectively impersonate a Jedi, the enforcer employed a diverse range of equipment to replicate various Jedi techniques.
The enforcer's efforts to disrupt Skar'kla's activities proved successful, causing Akris, who genuinely believed the man to be a Jedi, to become sufficiently concerned to enlist the services of a Duros Bounty hunter named Cad Bane to eliminate the imposter. Despite the added security, the enforcer managed to track down the Bothan to one of Skar'kla's bases and launched an assault. The crime lord and several thugs managed to escape and move inside the base, sealing the blast doors and triggering a sensor field set up by Bane as they did so. The enforcer however used hist stolen blue lightsaber to cut open the Durasteel door and killed several thugs inside with a Thermal detonator. He then used small jet's concealed within his boots to leap through the smoke created by the explosive, appearing to Force Jump. Once inside the building he killed the remaining thugs with the lightsaber, however while he did so Akris escaped down a hidden passage to the base's security center.
The enforcer pursued Akris down the hidden passage and was confronted by Akris and his Weequay security chief once he reached the security center. Using a mono-filament cable and a magnetic grappler he then pulled the Bothan's weapon, a hold-out blaster, from his hand, again appearing to use the force. Using the pistol, he shot and killed the Weequay, who had been advancing on him with a force pike. Unarmed, Akris began begging for his life, but the enforcer cut him off, releasing a poisonous gas from an emitter on his wrist which caused the Bothan to choke, as though he was being force choked.
As Akris choked Bane entered the room but, much to both the enforcer and the crime lords surprised, told the Jedi impersonator to finish his job. Once Akris was dead the bounty hunter revealed that he knew the Jedi was an imposter. The enforcer attempted to attack Bane with his lightsaber but the Duros destroyed the weapon with his blaster pistol. Using his jet boots the enforcer then attempted to retrieve the Weequay's pike but Bane shot at him again this time destroying one of the boots and sending the man flying off course. In a final attempt to defeat the bounty hunter the enforcer used the mono-filament fibre to try and take his pistol, however Bane simply pulled hard on his pistol and pulled the fake jedi to him across the floor. The Duros then asked him which Hutt he worked for then offered to let the man live if he taught him how to make each piece of equipment and allowed him to claim Akris's bounty. The hunter had little choice and so agreed.
Personality and traits
The enforcer was taken aback by Bane's ability to discern his Jedi impersonation and his connection to the Hutts. Instead of surrendering, he fought the Duros relentlessly until he was completely disarmed.
