Seville was also involved in the abduction of Crying Dawn Singer , a Shashay cultural hero . The operation was only one of the many moves in an important conspiracy of Braig Farool , governor of the planet Narg , to depose and replace Moff Nile Owen of the Rayter sector . The pirate then allied himself with agents of the Galactic Empire to annihilate the fleet of the rival Vallaido pirate clan . Biography . Yearo Seville , a Human male , was the son of Darion Seville , the matriarch of the Seville pirate clan . Darion liked to have her droids fight against each other , but during one such duel , the droid MdZ - BLK attempted to kill her . Yearo intervened and ionized the droid , saving his mother ' s life . Afterward , he sent the droid as a gift to the Hutt Gorbu Dalo , a rival pirate , in the hope that the droid would kill Dalo . MdZ - BLK indeed murdered the Hutt , but the droid then stole a freighter , loaded it with explosives , and sent it to crash against the Seville family compound . Seville , however , was not killed during this attack . Seville , an ambitious person , joined a ring of smugglers and killed more than one hundred sentients before he was fifteen years old . Eventually , he created his own pirate gang and obtained a space yacht he called " Seville ' s Star . " At some point , Seville also owned and customized a CRX - Tug , which had been prepared to accept a one - legged pilot . Seville then sold the Tug to a procurement officer of the Alliance to Restore the Republic , claiming that the ship had been used in Imperial shipyards and that it retained secret information in its memory . However , Seville was lying , and the memory core had been fused . The Alliance then christened the ship " Worthless Fool . " Circa 1 ABY , Seville was approached by Nak Farool , Special Assistant to Moff Nile Owen of the Rayter sector . Farool was looking for a scoundrel who could kidnap Crying Dawn Singer , a Shashay cultural hero , and then pretend to be a leader of the Alliance to Restore the Republic asking for a ransom . This would stall diplomatic meetings between the Alliance and the Shashay . Once this was done , Seville had orders to hand over the Shashay to the Galactic Empire . Farool would then stage a charade of a rescue , and the Empire would gain notoriety among the Shashay , while Seville would receive money in exchange for his services . However , Nak Farool conspired along with his brother , Governor Braig Farool of Narg , to depose and replace Moff Owen with this plot . Nak Farool ordered Seville to take Crying Dawn Singer to Narg and deliver him to Farool , instead of to Owen . Seville accepted the conditions and kidnapped Crying Dawn Singer and his entourage during the opening of the Sector Performing Arts Center , using an airspeeder provided by Farool . Seville took his prisoners to an Imperial base on Najarka and tortured them to death , except for Crying Dawn Singer , who survived , and the droid KL - 6T - LF7V / T , who was only disconnected . KL - 6T - LF7V / T was identified as an undercover Rebel agent , and Seville was asked to leave it at Najarka , where Owen would pick it up while the pirate took Crying Dawn Singer to Laim . Once in Laim , Seville recorded a holotransmision asking for an unacceptable ransom as he had been ordered to . He also battered Crying Dawn Singer and claimed to be a leader of the Rebel Alliance . The message was broadcast , along with several other forgeries of Nak Farool , but the Alliance tracked it to Laim . The Shashay , however , believed the message to be true , and threatened to go to Moff Owen if the Alliance failed to return Crying Dawn Singer . Seville then took Crying Dawn Singer to Narg and handed the Shashay over to Farool . At this point , members of the Rebel Alliance were following Seville ' s steps in an attempt to recover Crying Dawn Singer . His mission accomplished , Seville left Narg . Farool ' s implication was discovered by the Alliance and by Owen , and he was harassed by agents of his many enemies . Farool lost his mind and , megalomaniacally , believed that he had disgraced Seville , the Alliance , Owen , and all the sectorial powers . The Rebellion rescued Crying Dawn Singer from the hands of the Governor , and the Shashay took up diplomatic relations with the Alliance again . Still at large , Seville made a deal with the Galactic Empire . The Empire agreed to reinforce the Seville clan fleet in an attack against the fleet of the Vallaido pirate clan , who had been enemies of the Sevilles for generations . While the Vallaido fleet was destroyed , a number of Vallaidos survived . One of these survivors was Siro Simito who decided to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic in response to Seville ' s actions . Personality and traits . A dark - haired Human male with a mustache , Seville had nine parallel scars on his left cheek . He could also be identified because he enjoyed eccentric , lavish clothes and because he used a gold - plated blaster pistol and a drommanarg snuff pouch . Although he was not particularly tall or burly , he was threatening in his careful composure . Ruthless and greedy , Seville was known to manipulate his subordinates into paranoia for his own safety . He was considered to be the most sanguinary and wicked outlaw in the Rayter sector . Behind the scenes . Yearo Seville first appeared in " The Abduction " ( 1992 ) , a roleplaying adventure for West End Games ' " . " The book included Seville ' s RPG statistics . Following those , Seville was a skillful crewman and was not specialized in any responsibility except command , but was apt for several of them . He was also a good fighter both in close and long distances , and was excellent at intimidating and conning people . However , the adventure included no situation in which Seville was entitled to use these skills , as the player characters never really meet him in person . Seville disappears from the plot after leaving Narg , and as such there are no alternate paths affecting him .
