At an unknown point , he worked as a bookmaker for Jenkes , who managed a gladiator arena on the planet Nyriaan . Though Jenkes later became an Imperial Security Bureau ( ISB ) official on Lothal , the two remained allies and sought to help each other . Later , Takkaro moved to the planet Ahakista where he became the operations manager of the Daystar Casino . Due to his gambling , he became indebted to several influential people on Ahakista , including the Imperial senator Hack Fenlon . When Takkaro fled offworld , Senator Fenlon submitted a bounty to the Bounty Hunters ' Guild , which sent the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk to bring him back alive to Ahakista . Gronson smuggled himself aboard a drone barge to Lothal . For the next nine days , he frequented Ake ' s Tavern , a shady business establishment in Capital City ' s northern sector . On Lothal , Gronson was protected by his former business partner Jenkes , who had become a lieutenant in the ISB and stolen the identity of his deceased colleague Lieutenant Herdringer . After nine days had elapsed , Bossk arrived on Lothal to apprehend Gronson and extradite him back to Ahakista . Upon arriving above Lothal , Bossk corresponded with Jenkes , who was masquerading as Lieutenant Herdringer . Since Bossk was taking part in a government - sponsored bounty , Jenkes had little choice but to supply information on Takkaro ' s whereabouts to the Trandoshan bounty hunter . In secret , however , Jenkes assigned the Duros assassin Angrigo and two Nikto assassins known as the Kratchell twins to protect Takkaro . Jenke ' s criminal associates reached the Ake ' s Tavery a few minutes before Bossk arrived at Ake ' s Tavern . Upon arriving , they told Takkaro that they were there to protect him from Bossk . Shortly later , a local Human guide named Ezra Bridger arrived at the bar under the pretext of selling Gladiator Night tickets . In reality , Bossk had sent him as a decoy . At that point , Takkaro was sitting beside Angrigo while being served a drink by a bearded Human bartender . Recognizing Ezra as Bossk ' s local young guide , Angrigo and the Kratchell twins were about to open fire on Ezra when Bossk entered the bar . During the ensuing gun battle , Bossk quickly killed the Kratcell twins with his mortar gun . Takkaro attempted to attack Ezra with his vibroblade but the Human youth fired his energy slingshot at the Dug ; knocking him unconscious . Bossk then killed Angrigo , who had attempted to finish off Ezra with his blaster . Having neutralized opposition in the bar , Bossk then shook Takkaro awake . Bossk then took Takkaro into custody and proceeded to interrogate him about his assassin bodyguards . The Dug replied that he did not know their names other than the fact that they had been sent to project him . When Bossk asked who had hired the assassins , the Dug said that he did not know and told Bossk to ask the assassins themselves , who had perished during the bar gun battle . Takkaro then slipped back into unconsciousness . Before Bossk could shake him awake , a squad of stromtroopers called Squad Five arrived . Despite Bossk possessing an Imperial Peace - Keeping Certificate , they demanded that the Trandoshan hand over Shifty Takkaro . Bossk refused and ignited a concussion grenade in Ake ' s Tavern before fleeing outside with Takkaro and Bridger . During the gunfight with Imperial forces , Bossk was forced to leave his acquisition behind . Following a pursuit , Bossk and Ezra managed to escape to Ezra ' s tower hideout to recuperate . Meanwhile , Squad Five arrested the wounded Takkaro and took him into Imperial custody . Having failed to eliminate Bossk and his local guide , Lieutenant Jenkes then issued orders for all Imperial forces to exterminate them and even placed a bounty on Bossk ' s head . Working together , Bossk and Ezra discovered Takkaro ' s underworld connections to Lieutenant Jenkes and succeeded in exposing Jenkes ' criminal activities to the Imperial authorities on Lothal . Personality and traits . As a Dug , Shifty Takkaro walked on his upper limbs and used his dexterous feet to grasp objects .

As a gambler , he had trouble paying his debts and eventually antagonized Senator Hack Fenlon , who placed a bounty on his head . He also knew how to wield a vibroblade .
