Pyke Boss

The Head of the Pyke Syndicate, simply known as the Pyke Boss, is the main antagonist from The Book of Boba Fett. He has been running the Pyke Syndicate's spice trading operations on Tatooine during the New Republic era, while trying to get rid of Boba Fett and his allies.
==History==
===New Republic era===
The Head of the Pyke Syndicate was a high ranking member of the Pyke Syndicate who was in charge of their operations on the planet Tatooine, seeking to further advance the Syndicate's spice trade. When the Syndicate was attacked by a local Tusken Raider tribe, thus interfering with their spice trade, the Pyke Boss was approached by famed bounty hunter Boba Fett, who attempted to make a deal so the Syndicate would pay protection money to the Tuskens, but was refused by the Boss, not wanting to be taken advantage of.
However, after Fett departed, the Pyke Boss sent his forces to massacre the Tusken Raider tribe, framing the Nikto biker gang for this act. In return, Boba Fett took revenge on the bikers, allowing the Pyke Syndicate to no longer pay protection fees to the Bikers as well, leaving no loose ends.
A peroid of time later, the Pyke Boss and the Syndicate were promised Tatooine by the Mayor of Mos Espa Mok Shaiz, allowing them to pass their spice through the city. This put the Syndicate into conflict with Boba Fett, who has taken over Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire and its territories.
After the battle of Mos Espa, where Cad Bane is killed by Boba Fett, the Pyke Boss was killed along with Mok Shaiz, Dokk Strassi, the unidentified Klatooinian don and Garfalaquox by Fennec Shand, ending the threat of the Pyke Syndicate on Tatooine.
==Personality==
The Head of the Pyke is a dangerous being, who will face anyone who will jeopardize his criminal operations. To safe guard his own criminal empire, he used strategic planning to frame the Kintan Striders for Head of the Pyke Syndicate's crimes of killing the Tusken Raiders tribe that Boba Fett was a part of. This prompted Boba Fett to exact his vengeance on the Nikto bikers instead of targeting the Pyke Syndicate, all while maintaining an appearance of collaboration with Fett. Although Mayor Mok Shaiz was opposed to open conflict in Mos Espa, the Pyke Syndicate nonetheless sanctioned a bombing at the Sanctuary cantina, subsequently expressing regret to the mayor for the incident. Following a significant defeat in their struggle for control of the city, the leader resolved to minimize his losses and withdraw from Tatooine, deeming it no longer a viable environment for the syndicate.
