Biography . Gurion Silizzar , also known as " Gur , " was a Human male bounty hunter . Seven of his relatives had been killed by Doctor Cornelius Evazan by the time of the First Battle of Tatooine in 0 BBY . Believed by many to be insane , Evazan was searching for a way to allow one to live forever , and frequently tested his experiments on unwitting subjects . The doctor had given Silizzar ' s relatives a poison , ostensibly as medicine . This caused them to become ill , allowing Evazan to operate on them . The doctor then proceeded to butcher the seven beings , killing all of them . Silizzar was enraged by this news , and sought revenge . At some point , he learned that Evazan was on Ando , where he continued to research immortality , a project now funded by an Andoan senator . Determined to get revenge on Evazan , Silizzar and five other family members headed for Ando . They were able to find the castle , located on an isolated isle . Three of the team members , wearing individual field disruptor s , were able to penetrate the protective field surrounding the castle and make their way into the dining room just as Evazan was eating with his benefactor , the Andoan senator . However , Evazan had been alerted to the intruders by his pet Meduza , Rover , and was able to swiftly react . He shot and killed one intruder while Rover and Evazan ' s partner , Ponda Baba , killed the others . Waiting outside on a ledge , Silizzar heard of the trio ' s deaths , reacting with disappointment over the failure of the plan . He contacted the other two members of his team on a starship high above the castle through his comlink , informing them that the plan had failed . Though the other two wanted to pick up Silizzar and leave rather than risk further deaths , Silizzar refused , insisting that he had a plan . He made his way down to the castle ' s gate , and sent a message up to the castle , claiming that his aquaspeeder had broken down , and that he wanted a lift . He was also wearing a holoshroud , which caused him to appear as muscled and handsome , rather than his true thin build . Silizzar believed — accurately — that Evazan was seeking a healthy , handsome Human male to transfer his consciousness into using a special machine , allowing him to escape his scarred and disfigured body . Evazan allowed Silizzar to enter into the castle ' s foyer and then shot him with a stun blast from a security system , apparently knocking Silizzar unconscious . After transferring Baba ' s consciousness into the unwitting senator ' s body , Evazan went to move Silizzar ' s body to his laboratory for the transfer . When he attempted to lift the body , he found that his hand went through the man ' s chest , revealing him to be wearing a holoshroud . Silizzar quickly reacted , punching Evazan and drawing a thermal detonator , while he also deactivated the holoshroud , replacing the image of the larger man with that of Silizzar ' s true appearance . He then ordered Evazan to drop his blaster , as he had the detonator triggered and warned the doctor that if Evazan shot him , he would die in the subsequent explosion . Cowed , the doctor relented and dropped his blaster . When Evazan tried to bargain with Silizzar , claiming that he would pay him a large sum of money if the bounty hunter would release him , Silizzar explained that he was after revenge , not money , telling Evazan of his family members that the doctor had killed . The two made their way to the roof , where the starship was expected pick them up and take Evazan back to a planet where he could be tried for all the beings he had killed . Though Silizzar stated that he would rather have Evazan face the law , he also said that if the doctor attempted to attack him , he would set off the thermal detonator , which would kill both of them . On the rooftop , Evazan tried to bargain with Silizzar a second time , who continued to refuse any offers of money , claiming that he only wanted justice . Silizzar was unaware that Evazan was now trying to stall , as Rover had followed the two to the roof , and was preparing to attack the bounty hunter . Silizzar spotted the creature immediately before it attacked him and managed to avoid being swallowed by the Meduza . However , it was able to shock him with a bolt of electricity , causing him to drop the thermal detonator . Before Rover could strike again , Silizzar lunged for Evazan , intent on strangling him . Evazan was able to shake Silizzar off and send the bounty hunter plummeting over the edge to his death while the doctor managed to avoid falling . Meanwhile , the Andoan senator , whose consciousness Evazan had mistakenly transferred into Baba ' s body , appeared on the rooftop . Enraged over the loss of his senatorial duties and social status , he set off the thermal detonator . Evazan was saved by Rover , who cushioned the blow from the explosion . Although the Meduza was killed , the doctor managed to cheat death once again . Silizzar ' s compatriots witnessed the explosion from overhead and , unaware that Silizzar had been killed by Evazan , assumed that the bounty hunter had sacrificed himself to kill Evazan . The ship then fled the scene . Personality and traits . Silizzar was determined to get revenge for the deaths of his relatives , and was even willing to risk his own life to bring Evazan to justice . Though he wanted to bring the doctor alive so that he could stand trial , he was willing to kill Evazan — and himself — if necessary . The Human was clever , effectively utilizing a holoshroud to gain entrance into Evazan ' s fortress , as he had guessed that disguising himself as a handsome , muscular man would entice Evazan into inviting him inside in hopes of gaining his body .
