Biography . Born in 28 BBY on the planet Bonadan , Yarr Gatonne was the son and apprentice of Resh Gatonne , a retired bounty hunter . Yarr Gatonne was raised to use his father ' s unorthodox approach to understanding the environment , and he also followed Resh ' s footsteps by becoming a bounty hunter . At some point during his early years , he replaced his right eye with an unrecognizable cybernetic Neuro - Saav Hifold Sensory Package that improved his eyesight and other senses . During the years before the Battle of Endor , Gatonne operated mainly in the Testarr sector . He was officially an independent bounty hunter unaffiliated with the Galactic Empire , although he possessed a valid Imperial Peace - Keeping Certificate . Despite his independence , Gatonne — like many others in his position — accepted Imperial payments for jobs against agents of the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Circa 5 ABY , Gatonne tracked a Rebel agent , Airen Cracken , through the Crystal spires of the banking planet Sestria . Though Cracken escaped Gatonne , the Rebel was impressed by the bounty hunter ' s skill . In 7 ABY , Yarr Gatonne operated not only in the Testarr sector , but also in the neighboring trade zones . Gatonne accepted new contracts on engineers , diplomats and military commanders working for the New Republic . The New Republic Intelligence Service discovered Gatonne ' s activities and , while they could not confirm whether the Empire had sanctioned the contracts or not , they believed this was the case . Personality and traits . Yarr Gatonne was an obsessive individual who respected all life but regularly risked his own . Taking no sadistic pleasure when injuring others , he preferred capturing prey alive and , when the contract stipulated death , he executed the victim expeditiously . He preferred to use subterfuge and disguise , particularly when tracking members of the Alliance or the New Republic . Gatonne captured associates of his victim to question them , and then impersonated the kidnapped individual to approach the prey ; but he also utilized bribery , combat and hired mercenaries . Gatonne was calm and sophisticated , and he had a forceful presence . He was an excellent fighter and tracker , as well as a skilled pilot and a master of disguise . His ability to observe and analyze his environment were improved by his cybernetic enhancement , as were his gambling abilities . Gatonne was known to collect rare , valuable gems , sometimes accepting dangerous tasks if a valuable item of that kind was to be obtained . Behind the scenes . Yarr Gatonne was first mentioned in " Wanted by Cracken " ( 1993 ) , a role - playing sourcebook for West End Games ' " " . The book included an image of Gatonne drawn by Mike Jackson . A later book , " " ( 1994 ) , also mentioned Gatonne and gave a new image by Terry Pavlet . Both books include the same roleplaying stats ( albeit different gear ) for Gatonne , though " Galaxy Guide 10 " covers events before the Battle of Endor and " Wanted by Cracken " talks about the New Republic era .
