**Zam Wesell** was an Clawdite female Bounty hunter who lived during the last years of the Galactic Republic. As an Clawdite, she had the ability that allowed her to physically alter her own appearance, a ability which she used to assume the visage of an human female. Not long before the start of the Clone Wars, Jango Fett hired Zam Wesell's help to assassinate an Senator of Naboo Padmé Amidala on Coruscant, but the Senator then eluded an explosive that destroyed her starship then escaped a poisonous kouhuns let loose in her apartment. The two Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker pursued this Clawdite across Coruscant, catching Zam in an Outlander Club. Before Wesell could talk, Jango killed her with a Kaminoan saberdart.

## Biography

### Early Life

#### Early Hunting Career

A Clawdite female, **Zam Wesell** was born at a Mid Rim planet Zolan. Zam was trained by the Mabari until she desired wealth and journeyed to the Inner Rim planet of Denon to employ her skills and training as an assassin. At some point she'd worked with Bounty Hunter Jango Fett, and became both his frequent accomplice and sometime partner. Zam preferred to strike her targets from afar, utilizing an long range sniper rifles or using a remote probe Droids, and as an Clawdite changeling was able to assume any Humanoid form she chose. Near the dawn of a Clone War conflict, Jango was hired by the Count Dooku, also called by Tyranus on behalf of a trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray with their task of assassinating Naboo Senator Padmé Amidala to prevent Amidala from speaking against the Military Creation Act. The task was then subcontracted by Fett to Zam.

#### Assassination Attempt

Sometime after receiving this assignment, Wesell bombed this Senator's Cruiser when it reached Coruscant. However, Senator Amidala herself wasn't on the Cruiser. Instead it was her handmaiden, Cordé. After receiving the news, Wesell informed Fett that she had bombed the ship, but Amidala used a decoy. Fett then gave her some Kouhuns and told her that what they were very Poisonous and to be careful while holding them. Zam Wesell sent an Droid to do it for her, but the two Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker had been assigned to guard this Naboo Senator and Skywalker quickly killed the kouhuns and Obi-Wan grabbed the droid. While the droid was speeding, Wesell shot it with her blaster which caused Kenobi to start falling through Coruscant's atmosphere. Wesell quickly fled in her speeder but Anakin Skywalker jumped on top of it then crashed it. Zam Wesell was then able to flee to the gambling Outlander Club.

Anakin was about to dash in but Obi-Wan reminded him that Zam had gone in to hide not to run. Zam shapeshifted into her Clawdite form in the speeder and Skywalker told Kenobi he knew that she was an changeling and was female. Jedi Master Kenobi said they should be extra careful in searching for her. As Jedi were in that club, Zam was about to shoot Kenobi, but Obi-Wan sensed Zam and chopped her arm off with his Lightsaber. Wesell screamed in pain and fell on the ground. Obi-Wan carried Wesell outside and asked her if she knew who she was trying to kill. Zam answered that she'd knew it was the Naboo Senator. Then she was asked who hired her. Reluctant to reveal her employer's name, she then answered that it was merely a job. Anakin pressured her to tell them and Wesell was about to say who it was when Fett, who was watching the questioning, shot her with an Kamino saberdart. Wesell said her last words and died shortly after.
