Hanharr Hanharr was a male Wookiee who worked as a bounty hunter , operating primarily out of Nar Shaddaa , during and in the years after the Jedi Civil War . A ruthless hunter and brutal sociopath who was rumored to have murdered his own tribe in cold blood , he was regarded as one of the most deadly of his profession . Biography . Hanharr was raised on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk , living in the canopies with other Wookiees , but never truly feeling at home among them . Instead , he began to take an interest in the Shadowlands , the ground level of Kashyyyk , at an early age , sensing fascination at its perils and constant darkness . To live in the Shadowlands was considered dishonorable by the Wookiees , but the call proved too strong for Hanharr to resist , and he began to spend more and more time there , moving freely and killing at will . In time , his tribe refused to accept him back , for they sensed too much of a killer within him . When the humans of Czerka Corporation arrived on Kashyyyk , they didn ' t immediately seem to pose a threat to the Wookiee tribe . Yet when they had been accepted by Hanharr ' s tribe and infested it deep enough , they struck against the villagers . Hanharr watched it all from afar , seeing that the humans of Czerka were physically weak but still predators , and knowing that his tribe was about to become enslaved forever , hunted as prey and demeaned . And so , to save them from this cruel fate , Hanharr took it upon himself to slaughter his entire village , starting with the youngest . With ryyk blade and bowcaster , Hanharr worked his way from the weakest to the strongest of his people , ambushing them in their sleep . When others were awakened by the attacks , he killed them too — but for everyone that died , he grabbed them by the throat and stared into their eyes , showing them the full darkness of the Shadowlands and that their weakness was the reason they had to die . When the Czerka slavers discovered that their herd had been destroyed , they took Hanharr and shackled him , taking him into slavery and intending him to haul cargo on board starships . However , on the ship , there was nowhere for the humans to run when Hanharr set about killing all of them . Over the course of weeks , Hanharr stalked the slavers across the ship , letting them hide and starve slowly , waiting till the last possible moment before killing them , stuffing their bodies into storage compartments as a surprise for the other slavers to find . After all the slavers were killed , the ship — apparently on autopilot — eventually reached its destination : Nar Shaddaa . Nar Shaddaa was not the worst possible place for a Wookiee hunter to be stranded on . There , Hanharr could again climb to great heights , hunt for prey , and admire the newfound depths of the Shadowlands . Hanharr , having learned Czerka ' s lesson , decided to take that lesson back to humans , in retribution for his dead people in a twisted version of the Wookiee life debt . He became a slaver , selling entire families at a time , intending to bring about the misery and death of every single human in the galaxy . There was a bitter history between Hanharr and the human female bounty hunter Mira . Previously , Hanharr had been employed to hunt Mira , and had trapped her in a series of vents , where he planned to ambush her . However , she escaped from him when his own explosives ( set to kill her ) exploded as he ran after her . He painfully experienced that Mira had broadcast a signal to temporarily blind the mines ' sensor receptors . He was almost killed but , taken by pity , Mira saved his life . It is unknown whether Mira knew she would then be owed a life debt , and it is certain that she wasn ' t keen on the idea , but Hanharr disliked it even more so . To be shown mercy by prey such as Mira was the worst insult imaginable to the Wookiee , and worse yet , he now owed his life to a human . To Hanharr , Mira had done to him just what Czerka had done to his people — she had broken him with slavery . He detested the idea of a life debt , because he thought that it made him weak and a slave , yet he held on to this tradition because it was the last thing to connect him to his dead people . He served his life debt to Mira , but believed that by killing her he could free himself ; thus he would often swing between wanting to kill her and stalking her from the shadows . At one time , he grabbed her by the throat and promised to derive pleasure from killing her sometime in the future , when the time was right . Mira often told Hanharr that she didn ' t want his life debt but Hanharr ' s insanity meant that he could see no way out other than to kill Mira . Hanharr was hired by Vogga the Hutt to meet Goto and kill him . " Goto " always appeared as a hologram , and so no one knew that it was actually the spherical droid projecting it . Vogga warned him to finish the job or not come back to him at all . Working with one of Goto ' s men , Visquis , they planned to capture Meetra Surik and bring her to Goto for Hanharr to kill . However , Mira came in her place . Eventually , Hanharr and Mira dueled in Visquis ' s secret base , and there Mira defeated him . Shortly after , Kreia healed his most serious wounds , saving his life , cursing him with another life debt that Hanharr had no choice but to accept . Hanharr claimed that Kreia honored him by showing him no mercy when she took him to Malachor V to challenge Mira when Surik arrived . On its surface , Mira and Hanharr dueled and Hanharr lost again . At Hanharr ' s desperate call for death , Mira finally granted his request and killed him , putting him out of his life - long misery . Personality and traits . He had simply been driven to the point of near - insanity by his anger and the pain of his past . He maintained a strong , if somewhat warped , sense of honor and duty . Despite believing that life - debts weakened him and that he could rid himself of them by killing the person to whom he owed the debt , he believed that he was bound by duty to serve them anyway . However , even with his rage , he was cautious and never underestimated foes who were truly strong or superior as he would constantly argue with Visquis , who on the other hand said Hanharr thought too much of the Surik ' s chances . He maintained that love was each partner in the relationship being willing to lay down their life for the other . He believed that the weak must serve the strong . He probably also sincerely believed that he was ' saving ' his tribe by slaughtering them , with his warped perspective of everything around him . He perceived that mercy was weakness , and truly despised anyone who showed him mercy . Behind the scenes . Hanharr is a playable character in the computer and video game " " . Both he and Mira are encountered on the planet Nar Shaddaa , and one of them will join the Jedi Exile ' s party , as determined by the player ' s alignment . Dark side - aligned players are joined by Hanharr , though he appears in cutscenes and in gameplay as an antagonist if the player is light side - aligned . According to Chris Avellone , Obsidian Entertainment wanted to give the player an option to turn Hanharr into a Dark Jedi character , but this idea was rejected by LucasArts due to George Lucas ' s ruling that there should be no more Wookiee Jedi introduced . Alternate ending . On Nar Shaddaa , two possible things can occur . If the Jedi Exile follows the way of the light side , then Mira is captured by Visquis , an overseer for the criminal gang called The Exchange , and he allows Hanharr to kill her . However , in a surprising turn of events , Mira defeats Hanharr , and escapes . After this , Hanharr is found by Kreia , the mentor of the Jedi Exile , and she takes him into her service . However , so as to maintain his servitude , she promises that she will show him no mercy or pity . Later , when the heroes traveled to Malachor V , Hanharr confronted Mira once again . If the Exile follows the dark side , he will meet Hanharr on his way to meet up with Visquis . They make an agreement to try and kill the crime lord as well as Goto . However , Mira manages to render the Exile unconscious and fools both Visquis and Hanharr , as in the light - side story . Hanharr manages to kill her in a duel but Visquis leaves him to be killed by his kath hounds . He helps the Exile by opening the door to the base while leaving at the same time , possibly killing a few of Visquis ' s men in the process . However , Jedi Master Zez - Kai Ell appears and takes him down with the Force . Kreia finds him and forces him to serve the Exile . He did , and although he was stubborn , the Exile manages to break his will by creating a bond and breaking it after he finds out about his past , making Hanharr serve him without question . The Exile makes a pact with him in addition , promising to never show him mercy when the time comes that they no longer need each other , much like Kreia ' s promises . Like Bao - Dur , his fate is unknown , although there are some scraps of what seems like he was supposed to save the Exile from the crumbling Malachor V core by throwing him on the " Ebon Hawk " and dying with the planet . This was found to be too reminiscent to Chewbacca ' s death on Sernpidal , however , and was therefore cut . Journeys with a Dark - Sided Exile . Hanharr tells a dark - sided Exile that he wishes to die and ' join his tribe ' , and that he wishes to walk in the Shadowlands no longer but instead on the tops of the trees of Kashyyyk , his homeworld . Hanharr also held a deep respect for a dark Exile for having the strength to kill members of ' his own clan ' , the Jedi , at Malachor V , despite the use of the Mass Shadow Generator to achieve victory being , in Hanharr ' s opinion , ' a coward ' s way of killing ' . Hanharr also tells a dark Exile that he should have looked in the eyes of each victim at Malachor V before killing them , that being what he did when he slaughtered his own clan on Kashyyyk .
