Skadge Skadge was a male Houk criminal from Black Sun who was locked up on Belsavis during the Cold War . He was captured by the Smuggler and Galactic Republic privateer Zale Barrows and was imprisoned on The Tomb . Sometime in 3641 BBY he met a famous bounty hunter and become one of the hunter ' s associates . He later was hired by Nem ' ro the Hutt , whom he later killed in 3641 BBY , on Nal Hutta . Following the hunter ' s disappearance during the Eternal Empire ' s invasion , the crew went their separate ways . Skadge returned to Black Sun and ended up running a street gang on Nar Shaddaa , bringing him into conflict with Dead Man ' s Legion , a Republic military unit commanded by Provost Marshal Fideltin Rusk . Biography . Starting life on the Houk homeworld of Lijuter , Skadge developed such a reputation that he was eventually thrown off his homeworld by his own species . While in prison , he was inducted into the criminal organization Black Sun by befriending a member he met inside . The Houk enjoyed immensely the time he spent with Black Sun , as Coruscant was still in ruins following the sacking , and turf wars were rampant , which provided an outlet for his constant need for killing . Skadge continued to think highly of Black Sun long after he was captured , seeing them as " killers to the core . " At another point in his jail time , Skadge shared a cell with a Hutt Cartel gangster , busting whom out of jail earned him a contract with the Hutts . While he enjoyed working as an enforcer , his height and strength suiting the job well , the Hutts noticed that Skadge was beginning to affect the bottom line of their balance . Hoping for a permanent retirement , they turned on him , trying to end his employment with them from the end of a blaster . However , they underestimated him ; Skadge escaped with his life , but was furious at their betrayal . Not knowing who was the Hutt who gave the order to betray him , he moved on from the Cartel ; however , his opinion of the Hutts from then on was understandably low , describing them as " lazy , stinkin ' [ . . . ] slimy two - faced slugs " to his future commander . Skadge continued his life of crime before eventually being taken down by Zale Barrows . He was transported to Belsavis , where he was incarcerated in solitary confinement . The Houk bid his time , planning to grab the nearest opportunity to get his revenge on Barrows . When the Grand Champion of the Great Hunt arrived hunting Zale for Darth Tormen , a prison riot was caused , during which Skadge escaped from his cell . He immediately decided to find Zale and kill him slowly . Unable to locate Zale , he found the privateer ' s girlfriend , a Zabrak female , instead . When the hunter met Skadge , he was in the middle of attempting to intimidate her into giving Zale up . Presuming the hunter worked for Zale , he attempted to squeeze more information out of him , but was met instead with confrontations . When she finally told them Zale was heading to the Tomb , she hoped the hunter would let her go . Instead , he simply chased after Zale , leaving her to Skadge ' s gory methods . Skadge caught up to the hunter after Zale erected a force - field to cut them off from him . While the Champion focused on destroying the generators to take the barrier down , the Houk " volunteered " some computer engineers from among the other inmates to help them find Zale from the remains of the privateer ' s astromech droid . After they had finished , he was allowed by the hunter to " thank " them . Skadge concluded the best way to find and get his revenge on Zale was to accompany his partner - of - convenience to the tomb . They found Zale in battle with Imperial forces at the bottom of the Tomb . Despite the smuggler ' s attempts to fight them off with the aid of Republic forces , they emerged victorious . Gloating over his impending revenge , along with his treatment of Zale ' s girlfriend , Skadge gorily killed his ( former ) rival before realizing he liked working with the hunter , whose ship also offered a way to freedom . Offering to kill for the hunter , he became the hunter ' s final companion . When not criticising the hunter ' s ship or taste in company , Skadge casually discussed his time on Coruscant , with Black Sun and in the Hutt Cartel . Eventually , he discovered the name of the Hutt who betrayed him - none other than Suudaa Nem ' ro , the Champion ' s patron in the Great Hunt years ago . Single - handedly smashing his way through Nem ' ro Palace , he killed Nem ' ro . After this , Skadge realized he still enjoyed working with the hunter , and decided to stay on . He also voiced his respect for his bounty hunter friend , stating that " Long as I ' m runnin ' with you , you ' re Black Sun . " Personality and traits . Being a criminal to the bone and a true Houk , Skadge delighted in anarchy , violence , mercenary work , robbery and looting in any capacity and expansion through networking . While spending time in jail , he honed his skills through working out or killing fellow inmates , while gaining association with big organizations through befriending his fellow gangsters . He entered Black Sun and the Hutt Cartel this way , but following his betrayal at the hands of the Hutts he decided to go freelance . Skadge greatly admired the gruff , physical character his bounty hunter friend displayed ; this respect was born from his time as a criminal and his own species ' casual views on violence . However , he did not form any bonds with his fellow companions , all of whom he looked down on openly ; he described them as a " skinny broad , " a " little twerp tryin ' to walk tall , " a " squeakin ' thing " and a " belly - achin ' dandy . " He voiced his astonishment that a hard case like the hunter ended up with such a bunch of " dainties , " noting that none of them would have lasted five minutes with Black Sun , and advised the Champion to find a new crew that wouldn ' t slow him down . Following his revenge on the Hutt who betrayed him , Skadge appeared to gain some peace of mind , telling the hunter that as long as they were traveling together , Black Sun would have his back .
