" The Commissioner outsourced the sale of tickets to the Xexto pawnshop owner and pickpocket Ferpil Wallaway and his human associate Ezra Bridger , a young orphan who made a living as a con artist and other odd jobs . None of Jenkes ' s acquaintances including his stormtrooper s and his RA - 7 protocol droid knew about his underworld dealings . Enter Bossk . Five years before the Battle of Yavin , Bossk visited the Outer Rim planet of Lothal to collect a bounty on " Shifty " Takkaro , who had jumped bail in the Ahakista system and antagonized the Imperial senator Hack Fenlon . Using Herdringer ' s identity , Jenkes corresponded with Bossk and reluctantly allowed the Trandoshan bounty hunter to pursue his bounty . Unknown to Bossk , Jenkes sent a squad of stormtroopers called Squad Five to keep a watch on Bossk . He also warned " Shifty " Takkaro and his three associates , the Duros assassin Angrigo and two Nikto s known as the Kratchell twins , about Bossk ' s presence . When Bossk and his local guide , Bridger , entered Ake ' s Tavern , they were attacked by Angrigo and the Kratchell twin s . During the subsequent fighting , Bossk managed to kill the three assassins and capture the Dug criminal . However , they were then attacked by Jenkes ' stormtroopers but managed to escape on a stolen speeder bike .

The second item mentioned that his appointment with the Imperial officer Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko had been rescheduled the following day . The third item mentioned that a surveillance droid had witnessed unusual activity in Monad Outpost . When Jenkes pressed the droid about the third item , RA - 7 mentioned that a large crowd of civilians had begun congregating near the decommissioned docking bays . Jenkes knew that these civilians were awaiting the illegal Gladiator Night events but maintained his underworld cover by telling RA - 7 that the surveillance droid had witnessed a secret Imperial project . He made arrangements for the surveillance droid to have its memory wipe d . RA - 7 then reported that the Lothal spaceport authority had received a freighter from Nyriaan requesting permission to land at Capital City ' s spaceport . While officially carrying livestock , the freighter was actually carrying two alien gladiator champions : the Houk Borbig Drob and the Feeorin Warjak , who were to be the main contestants of the illegal Gladiator Night at Monad Outpost . Jenkes had also placed a bet on the Feeorin Warjak to win the fight . Jenkes gave authorization for the freighter to land and made arrangements for the two gladiators to be transported to Monad Outpost in an unmarked Imperial transport .

While browsing through Herdringer ' s records , they discovered that he was deceased and that Jenkes had killed the real Herdringer and stolen his identity .

Bossk also worked out that Jenkes was the mysterious Commissioner . On the way to Monad , Bossk and Ezra visited Ferpil Wallaway , the Xexto pawnshop owner who worked for Jenkes and had employed Ezra to sell his tickets . Meanwhile , Jenkes decided to kill Ferpil after determining that Bossk ' s local guide Ezra was connected to the Xexto pawnshop owner . In order to hide his criminal dealings , Jenkes decided to kill Ferpil and ordered his RA - 7 droid to summon an unmarked armor ed speeder .

He claimed that he was determined to find the culprit behind this " outrage " . When one of the stormtroopers suggested calling for Imperial reinforcements , Jenkes ruled that out claiming that such a discovery would embarrass the Imperial authorities on Lothal . Instead , he told his subordinates that they could handle it alone and that they would arrest the event ' s organizers . After entering the box office , Jenkes murdered the Ishi Tib counting the proceeds from the ticket sales . Jenkes justified his murderous action by claiming that the Ishi Tib was reaching for a weapon . He then ordered his stormtroopers to load the credit chips into carts that would be brought onto his unmarked speeder . After the stormtroopers had outlived their usefulness , Jenkes had planned to shoot them with his blaster pistol in order to cover his tracks . Before Jenkes could carry out this plan , they were ambushed by Bossk and Ezra who quickly overpowered the stormtroopers with Bossk ' s mortar gun .

In an attempt to slow down Bossk , Jenkes seized a comlink from the arena ' s Pa ' lowick master of ceremony and claimed that Bossk was a dangerous fugitive who was wanted by the Empire . Bossk foiled Jenkes ' attempt to frame him by using Ezra ' s stolen comlink to issue a challenge to the arena ' s competitors : the Houk Borbig Drob and the Feeorin Warjak . After soundly defeating the two competitors in bare - handed combat , Bossk revealed that Jenkes was actually s the " Commissioner " and that he had been planning to steal the spectators ' credit chips . In addition , Bossk revealed Jenkes ' involvement in the murders of Herdringer , the pawnbroker Wallaway , and the Ishi Tib manning the box officer .

Following the events at Monad Outpost , Jenkes was executed under the orders of Aresko and Taskmaster Myles Grint , who assured Bossk that he would never hear from the disgraced ISB lieutenant again . The Trandoshan bounty hunter was also allowed to take back Jenkes ' remains in a plastoid box .
