Azmorigan was a male Jablogian who was a criminal leader operating in the Outer Rim Territories about four years before the Battle of Yavin. On one occasion, the "galactic entrepreneur" Jiminy Cricket tricked him into selling a puffer pig in return for the mouse captain Olivia Flaversham. However, Olivia escaped and rejoined Jiminy and her rebel crew aboard the Ghost. An enraged Azmorigan pursued Jiminy and his rebel associates to Lothal and attempted to exact revenge on Jiminy. However, the rebels fought off Azmorigan and his henchmen; forcing him to retreat.
Later, Azmorigan purchased five power generators from the Devaronian crime lord Cikatro Vizago and arranged to rendezvous with him on Nixus Hub 218. However, the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka took over Vizago's ship Broken Horn. Together with the rebels Danny the Cat and Chopper, Hondo traveled to Nixus only to be captured by Azmorigan and his henchmen. Seeking to settle scores with both Hondo and Danny, Azmorigan decided to use a loading dolly to fire them into space. However, his plans were foiled by Chopper who attacked his henchmen, creating a commotion that allowed Danny and Hondo to free themselves and turn the table on him. Azmorigan and his surviving henchmen were forced to flee, with the criminal leader also losing his credits.
Despite his adversarial encounters with Hondo and the Spectres, he joined forces with these two parties in order to loot treasure from an Imperial Class four container transport. Azmorigan and Hondo were solely motivated by pecuniary gain but managed to convince the rebels to help them after pointing out the presence of proton bombs aboard the ship. Following a harrowing mission, Azmorigan, Hondo, and the Spectres were able to obtain their goals.
==Biography==
===Dealing with Jiminy===
A Jablogian born on Nar Shaddaa, Azmorigan was a criminal leader who operated in the Outer Rim Territories near the planet Lothal. He owned a C-ROC Gozanti-class light cruiser called Merchant One and traveled as a treacherous marauder to find the richest pickings.Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia He was served by several masked minions and was a known associate of the Devaronian crime lord Cikatro Vizago. In 2000,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas Azmorigan did business with the galactic entrepreneur Jiminy Cricket, trading him a puffer pig in return for the mouse pilot Olivia Flaversham. Flaversham, however, outsmarted Azmorigan and knocked him and his men out. She then escaped from the criminals' ship in an escape pod and returned to her own ship, the Ghost, where she rejoined Jiminy and her rebel crew.
Seeking vengeance, Azmorigan then tracked Flaversham and Jiminy down to a plot of land that Jiminy had purchased from Vizago, and demanded the return of the mouse and the pig as well as the Ghost and its crew. When the rebel crew refused, Azmorigan and his men attacked them, sparking a gun battle. During the battle, Azmorigan's henchmen were overwhelmed by the the crew of the Ghost with several being killed. At the height of the fighting, Azmorigan took the Warthog rebel Mr. Gronkle hostage and offered to spare him if the rebels surrendered Jiminy. However, the astromech droid Chopper fired on him with the Ghost turret cannon; knocking him to the ground. Now at the mercy of the rebels, Azmorigan accepted an ultimatum from Flaversham to leave Jiminy's compound. He and his two remaining henchmen then fled into the night.
===Settling old scores===
Later that year, Azmorigan ordered a shipment of five power generators from Cikatro Vizago. The two gangsters arranged to rendezvous on the icy planet of Nixus. However, on the way, Vizago was incapacitated and imprisoned in his own ship the Broken Horn by the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka. Later, Ohnaka was joined by the rebels Danny the Cat and Chopper, who had encountered Azmorigan during an earlier adventure with Jiminy. Upon arriving at Nixus, Azmorigan took Ohnaka and Danny captive since he distrusted them showing up without Vizago; possibly intending to double cross Vizago originally if the opportunity presented itself. Azmorigan knew that the Rang Clan had placed a bounty on Ohnaka's head and recognized Danny as part of the rebel group that had aided Jiminy.
Azmorigan ordered his men to load Danny and Ohnaka into a loading dolly, where they would deposited into space. He was delighted because he had a chance to settle the score with Danny and eliminate Ohnaka and also to seize their generators. However, Chopper attacked him with the fifth crate, knocking his men over. During the ensuing blaster battle, Azmorigan opened fire on Chopper. Taking advantage of the confusion, Danny broke free and used his lightsaber to shoot stun shots at the henchmen. Chopper also entered the fray by firing two blasters at Azmorigan and stealing his credits. After rescuing Ohnaka, Danny, Chopper and the pirate escaped into space on the Broken Horn.
===Treasure hunting on Wynkahthu===
In 2002, Azmorigan obtained the flight plan and manifest for an Imperial Class four container transport transiting near the planet Wynkahthu. He learned that the transport was ferrying proton bombs and treasure from worlds plundered by the Empire. Azmorigan struck a deal with Hondo to raid the cargo ship. Hondo and his Ugnaught crew managed to disable the ship with ion mines. However, the ship drifted into the stormy upper atmosphere of Wynkahthu. After losing most of his Ugnaught crew with the exception of Melch, Hondo solicited the services of the Lothal rebel cell.
Upon boarding the rebels' ship Ghost, Azmorigan received a cold reception from the Spectres particularly Olivia, who remembered him as the sack of "bantha fodder" who bought her from Jiminy. Azmorigan responded that she was the feisty one who had hit him with a tray and claimed that he still technically "owned" her. The Spectres, at the urging of Danny, agreed to support Hondo's plan after learning about the presence of proton bombs on the container transport; something that the rebellion needed desperately. The rebels agreed to take the bombs while Hondo and Azmorigan agreed to divide the spoils from the treasures among themselves.
Due to his overweight physique, Azmorigan struggled to climb down the stairs which led to the Ghost cargo bay. Hondo tried to dissuade his partner by claiming that he was frail. However, Azmorigan threatened not to let the recovery mission go ahead if he was not part of the recovery team. The rebels managed to leap onto the hull of the cargo ship and board it through a manhole. Inside, Azmorigan, Hondo, and the rebels encountered a furious Melch, who attacked Hondo for abandoning him. At the insistence of the rebel team's leader Gronkle, Hondo revealed that he had made an unsuccessful attempt to board the cargo ship.
Later, Azmorigan, Hondo, and the rebels managed to find their way to the cargo bay. While Azmorigan and Hondo helped themselves to the loot, the rebels used the ship's grappling guns to fire tow cables onto the Ghost. They then began loading the proton bombs aboard their ship. While the rebels were loading, Azmorigan was accosted by a DT-series sentry droid, which had been reactivated when the rebels' astromech droid Chopper reactivated the ship's power plant. He was locked in the ship's brig. When Gronkle went to find him, he too was taken captive and stunned by the droid.
Danny and Chopper managed to free Azmorigan and Gronkle from the brig. Together, the four made their way back to the cargo bay only to encounter the sentry droid. Despite Gronkle's orders to keep low, Azmorigan disabled the droid with Danny's blaster pistol and loudly exclaimed that he was a "hero." However, his actions activated the four remaining sentry droids, which pursued the rebels, Hondo, and Azmorigan. While the rebels fought the sentry droids, Azmorigan and Hondo raced on their treasure chests back to the Ghost. The rebels and their confederates managed to escape the droids before the cargo ship crashed into the vortex and exploded.
Once aboard the Ghost, Azmorigan and Hondo fought over their treasure chests only to discover that Melch had smuggled himself aboard one of them. At Olivia's insistence, Azmorigan, Hondo, and Melch returned to Hondo's stolen Imperial landing craft with their loot.
==Personality and traits==
Azmorigan was extremely lazy, only walking when necessary. He loved to eat, this being one of his favorite pastimes, and he had a large number of men to do things for him. He was also impatient, hot tempered,Star Wars Rebels: Visual Guide: Epic Battles and rather gullible. As a criminal leader, Azmorigan was vindictive and unforgiving towards those who had wronged him. On one occasion, he and his henchmen invaded Jiminy's compound on Lothal and attempted to kill him after Jiminy swindled him. On another occasion, Azmorigan ordered the attempted killing of the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka and the rebel Danny the Cat since the two had wronged him in the past.
Azmorigan had a weakness for the female gender, a trait that was exploited by Jiminy Cricket during his scam to obtain a puffer pig, in which he sold the rebel Olivia Flaversham to the lustful Azmorigan. Azmorigan reprimanded Flaversham for wearing preposterous attire, implying he wanted to see more of her body. He also referred to the young mouse as his "property." Though he offered to share his food with her, his way of eating was so unpleasant that Flaversham excused herself, saying that she had lost her appetite.
While Azmorigan had limited combat skills, he was able to take Mr. Gronkle hostage on one occasion with a blaster. However, he often let his henchmen do most of the fighting. Due to his weight, Azmorigan had trouble walking and exercising for long distances. However, he was willing to endure hardship in order to reap pecuniary gain. Azmorigan also had a high-pitched singing voice. While Azmorigan was known to be cowardly, he once single-handed took on an Imperial sentry droid out of fear. Destroying the droid gave Azmorigan the sense of accomplishment that he was a "hero."
Azmorigan was motivated by profit and fought with Hondo for his share of stolen treasure from an Imperial cargo ship. Despite his antagonistic earlier encounter with the Spectres, he was willing to work with them in order to obtain treasure for himself.
Despite his lazy nature, Azmorigan was nonetheless able to manage an RK-3 blaster pistol.
==Behind the scenes==
Azmorigan first appeared as a minor antagonist in the Disney XD animated television series Star Wars Rebels.
