Ferpil Wallaway was a male Xexto pawnshop owner and pickpocket who lived in Lothal ' s Capital City during the reign of the Galactic Empire . He owned a pawn shop , which lay opposite the abandoned Go - Lothal Hotel . Due to his line of work , he had dealings with several criminal elements . Several years before the Battle of Yavin , Ferpil worked for a mysterious criminal known as " The Commissioner " , who was actually a corrupt Imperial Security Bureau official named Lieutenant Jenkes . Ferpil gave a share of the credit s he made from pick - pocketing and selling tickets for " Gladiator Night " , an illegal fighting event held at Monad Outpost . To help his pick - pocketing and ticket - selling business , Ferpil also hired the services of Ezra Bridger , an orphaned human youth who lived on the streets of Capital City . Prior to Gladiator Night , Ferpil sent Ezra to sell tickets for that event at Capital City ' s spaceport . Ezra managed to sell the tickets to a Chagrian tourist and his Twi ' lek companions but also took the opportunity to steal his Imperial pin , a jewelled ring , wrist comm , and most of the contents from his money pouch . Shortly later , Ezra spotted Ferpil among the crowds and reported that he had managed to sell five more tickets . Ferpil commended his employee but warned him to keep a watch for Imperial spies and warned him not to get caught pick - pocketing . While Ezra was distracted , Ferpil collected Ezra ' s rag - bundled credits which he had managed to steal from the Chagrian tourist . Ferpil then informed Ezra that the credit chip s went to the Commissioner and promised Ezra that he would receive his share after the Gladiator Night fight . The Xexto then discreetly handed back the remaining valuables to Ezra and told him to bring them and the datapad back to his shop later where he would pay Ezra . When Ezra asked about theidentity of the Commissioner , Ferpil confessed that he was ignorant of the matter . While talking , Ezra took advantage of Ferpil ' s distraction to " borrow " his chronometer . Before leaving , he asked Ferpil whether he still needed his chronometer . Ferpil praised Ezra ' s pick - pocketing skills before recollecting his chronometer . Before departing , he bid Ezra farewell and returned to his shop . Shortly later , Ezra Bridger was caught in an adventure with the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk , who had visited Lothal to collect a bounty on the Dug fugitive Gronson Takkaro . However , Takkaro was an old friend of Jenkes , who conspired to kill Bossk and his local guide . After his stormtrooper s failed to eliminate Bossk and Ezra , Jenkes viewed several holocam records and quickly discovered that Ezra was working for Ferpil . To hide his criminal dealings , Jenkes decided to kill Ferpil as well and ordered his RA - 7 protocol droid to bring an armor ed landspeeder . Jenkes drove to Ferpil ' s Pawn Shop and informed Ferpil that he was the Commissioner . After demanding that the Xexto hand over his credits , he shot Ferpil in the chest with his blaster . By the time Ezra and Bossk had arrived , Ferpil was dying with two of his six arms bent under his body . Before his death , Ezra managed to talk with Ferpil and learned that Jenkes was the Commissioner and had come for his credits . While Ezra was initially angry with Bossk for waiting in their landspeeder , Bossk told Ezra that Jenkes would have killed them as well if they had tried to intervene . After taking Ferpil ' s ammo packs , the two drove to Monad Outpost to stop Jenkes . Following a struggle , they managed to expose Jenkes ' illegal activities to the Imperial authorities , who had the corrupt lieutenant executed . Personality and traits . As a Xexto , Ferpil Wallaway had a small head with large dark eye s , a long , skinny neck , and six arms . He used the lower pair as a set of legs . He was a skilled pick - pocket who taught his skills to Ezra Bridger , a young human street urchin . Ferpil also had a good sense of humor and was a fair - minded employer who promised to pay Ezra for his share of work . Ferpil also had little interest in finding out the identity of his boss , the " Commissioner " and only cared that he paid on time . Equipment . Ferpil Wallaway owned a datapad and wore an inexpensive chronometer around his waist . Behind the scenes .
