Akris Ur ' etu Akris Ur ' etu was a wealthy male Bothan crime lord who , at a relatively young age , became head of the criminal organization known as the Skar ' kla Consortium . The consortium had several Hutt rivals , one of whom arranged for an enforcer to dress as a Jedi and interfere with Skar ' kla operations before hunting down and killing the Bothan without anyone suspecting the Hutts . Ur ' etu hired the Duros Bounty hunter Cad Bane to stop the imposter ; Bane , however , allowed the hunter to find and kill Ur ' etu using several pieces of technology designed to mimic Force abilities . Biography . Akris Ur ' etu was a male Bothan crime lord who gained control of the criminal syndicate known as the Skar ' kla Consortium at a fairly young age . Whilst he controlled the consortium , several Hutts attempted to take over portions of its territory . Shortly before the Clone Wars , one of the Hutts hired an enforcer to assassinate Ur ' etu while disguised as a Jedi so as to draw suspicion away from the Hutt and onto the Jedi Order . The Jedi imposter first interfered in a number of Skar ' kla operations , which caused Ur ' etu to hire the Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane to kill the man whom he believed to be a real Jedi . The imposter , however , tracked down the Bothan to a Skar ' kla base and attacked him . Ur ' etu managed to take cover inside the building with a number of thugs and sealed its blast doors . The false Jedi , however , cut through them with a stolen lightsaber and killed several thugs with a thermal detonator before finishing off the rest with the lightsaber . While the imposter and thugs fought , Ur ' etu managed to escape through a hidden passageway concealed behind his Greel wood desk . The passage lead to the base ' s security center where he was greeted by his Weequay security chief . The pair prepared to battle the imposter together , but the assassin used a mono - filament cable with a magnetic grapple to pull the crime lord ' s hold - out blaster from his grasp , as though using the Force , and then used it to shoot and kill the Weequay . Ur ' etu attempted to plead for his life , but the imposter released gas from an emitter on his wrist , which began to choke the Bothan — to the crime lord , it seemed as though he being killed through the Force . Bane , who had been watching the entire encounter from afar , then arrived in the security center but , to Ur ' etu ' s horror , told the imposter he could finish his job and allowed the Bothan to choke to death . Legacy . Bane had only taken the job from Ur ' etu due to his interest in the Jedi imposter ' s equipment . After Ur ' etu was dead , Bane quickly defeated the imposter and then made an agreement with him , allowing him to live if he would show the Duros how to make each piece of equipment . Bane also demanded that the imposter allow him to collect the bounty on Ur ' etu , as it would be high , and he desired the reputation boost that would come with it . Personality and traits . Ur ' etu was greatly scared of the Jedi imposter while being pursued . He could not conceal his fear from others , as his gray and brown fur stood on end and his voice changed pitch whenever he felt afraid . While being chased , he swore continuously in Bothese and once the imposter corned him he begged to make an arrangement with him to spare his life . Ur ' etu ' s fear was replaced by anger on occasion ; first at the Jedi as he attempted to enter the compound , then at the ineptitude of his Weequay security chief and finally as he died at Cad Bane for letting him be killed . Behind the scenes . Akris Ur ' etu first appeared in the short story " Reputation " , written by Ari Marmell and drawn by Thomas Hodges which was published in Star Wars Insider 136 in 2012 . The story states that he has shadow gray colored fur although in both illustrations of him it appears brown .
