Unidentified Pyke traveler

A male Pyke traveler ran the transportation of sansanna spice on a Pyke Syndicate repulsor train at the planet Tatooine. Traveling through the Dune Sea, the Pykes conflicted with a Tusken Raider tribe, prompting the Tuskens to launch a counterattack.

He ran the transportation of sansanna spice aboard a repulsor train which traveled across Tatooine's Dune Sea. The hovertrain's presence came in conflict with the local Tusken Raiders, who laid ancestral claim upon the Dune Sea, and Pyke guards open fired on one such tribe as they passed. However, the tribe began preparing for a counterattack with the help of the bounty hunter Boba Fett. The tribe ambushed the Pyke train when it passed, grounding the hover vehicle and killing many defending Pykes.
The Pyke traveler was among those Pykes who survived the attack, and he and his people were rounded up by the Tusken tribe. Sitting before the group, Fett asked who the leader was. The traveler, looking at his peers, walked up to the bounty hunter and removed his helmet, wondering if the tribe was going to kill them. Looking for his own answers, Fett asked if the train was carrying spice, the Pyke pretending that he didn't know what the bounty hunter meant until two Tuskens brought out a crate of sansanna spice. The traveler instead insisted that his people were only trying to protect their route.
Fett set out new terms for the Pykes: they could only pass through the Dune Sea if they paid a toll and any deaths caused by them would be returned ten-fold. Telling the traveler to pass on the terms to his syndicate, the bounty hunter ordered the Pyke prisoners to walk in a single file in the direction of the higher of the two suns, which could lead them to the settlement Anchorhead. The Pyke traveler believed his people would be killed on the journey, but Fett assured them they were under the protection of the Tusken Raiders.
