Surat had been collecting this information so that he could bargain his way to freedom with the emerging New Republic , the government created by the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Surat sent three of his henchmen , the Koorivar Makarial Gravin , the Abednedo Toomata Wree and the Ithorian Herf , to settle scores with Wexley . As reparation , the gangster s demanded that Temmin surrender his shop , which had once been the Wexley family home . However , Temmin ordered his B1 battle droid Mister Bones to knock them out .

She offered her services as a bounty hunter to Surat and volunteered to help him hunt down Temmin . While negotiating , Surat realized that Jas had accepted a bounty hunting job with the New Republic to capture Imperial officials .

Surat was a vicious and self - serving individual who was willing to kill his parents and incapacitate his older brother . As a gangster , Surat developed a constructive relationship with the Empire since they tolerated his criminal activities . He regarded the New Republic , the successor government created by the Rebel Alliance , as a " choir of overly moralistic do - gooders . " Surat wanted to do business with the Empire primarily because they could outbid other bidders . Surat was a ruthless man who dealt harshly with those who stole his property . He ordered one of his henchmen to cut out Temmin ' s tongue after the youth stole a shipment of data cubes which he had accumulated as a bargaining chip with the New Republic . Surat was also a dishonest negotiator . After negotiating a deal with Temmin to get the boy , his mother Norra , and his droid Mister Bones safe passage offworld in return for selling Sinjir and Jas Emari to the Empire , Surat double - crossed the boy by negotiating another secret deal with the Empire that included Norra .
