Greef Karga

**Greef Karga** was a human male and former disgraced magistrate before becoming an agent of the Bounty Hunters' Guild following the collapse of the Galactic Empire.

In around 9 ABY, he met with the bounty hunter named Din Djarin in a cantina to accept four bounties the hunter had captured. Djarin then refused to accept payment in Imperial credits, forcing Karga to pay him in Calamari Flan, after which he told of an unusual job from individual known as the Client associated with an Imperial remnant.

Karga was pleased when Djarin completed the job and after congratulating him gave him a new bounty to hunt down. Djarin however soon had a change of heart and rescued Grogu whom he had originally delivered to the Client. Karga then led a group of other Guild members in confronting Djarin and trying to reclaim the Child, but ultimately the hunters were overwhelmed when Djarin's Tribe joined the battle. Karga fled and confronted Djarin alone in Djarin's starship, the *Razor Crest*, but the bounty hunter outwitted Karga and shot him off the ship and escaped.

The angered Client took over Karga's city in retaliation for losing his prize. This prompted Karga to seek Djarin's aid in liberating the planet despite his betrayal of the Guild. After planning to betray him, Karga had a change of heart and ended up fighting with Djarin. They planned to kill the Client but the plan went awry and the Client was killed by Moff Gideon. After facing a gun battle, Karga escaped to the lava flats where he was once again attacked by Gideon. However, Gideon was defeated by Djarin and Karga offered him a place in the Guild again. He refused but Djarin's other companion, Cara Dune, accepted the offer to become his personal enforcer, with Karga becoming a Magistrate.

Karga later infiltrated an Imperial base on the planet. After all the Imperials left the planet, Nevarro became an independent trade anchor of the Hydian Way, and Karga became the High Magistrate of Nevarro.

## History

Between 8 ABY and 9 ABY, Karga met with bounty hunter Jodo Kast, who at the time was using Boba Fett's name, giving him his next assignment, which was to to capture a criminal named Madak, who was, in fact, an alias used by a disguised Fett. Earlier, Fett had hacked into the Bounty Hunters' Guild's system with the help of the slicer Jem Lavar, inserting a fake bounty along with a reward, information and even a hologram of the bounty as part of his plan to take down Kast, resulting in both Kast and Karga falling for the ruse as they were completely unaware of this. Afterwards, Kast, who was preparing to go collect the bounty, was killed by Boba Fett.

## Personality and traits

Karga described Djarin to the Client as the best bounty hunter within the parsec, but also expensive. He attempted to convince Djarin that he could still spend Imperial credits when the hunter refused to accept them and attempted to claim it was the only payment he had available, but quickly gave up and offered Calamari Flan when the bounty hunter threatened to leave with the pucks. He could speak in Huttese as well as Galactic Basic Standard. Karga had dark skin, black hair, and brown eyes.

After Djarin went back on his deal with the Empire, Karga attempted to sooth relations before bringing the Guild's forces to recapture Grogu. Despite his fondness for Djarin, he would not accept him breaking the code of the Guild by going back on a deal. When Djarin almost killed Karga, who was saved by an amount of beskar in his pocket, Karga would eventually plot his retribution.

Karga invited Djarin back, plotting to double-cross him with a group of allies. However, despite initially being willing to betray Djarin, he later turned on his escort, as he found himself unable to go through with the plan after Grogu saved his life. Thus, he was willing to kill his own hunters and reveal his plan to Djarin. With Djarin's forgiveness, Karga sided with the Mandalorian and his allies. Like Djarin and Cara Dune, he was bereft of knowledge pertaining to the Force and those who wielded it. Karga was amazed after he was Force healed by Grogu and later encouraged Grogu to "do the magic hand thing" when the group found themselves under attack trying to escape the city. In the aftermath of their escape from Moff Gideon, Karga showed that he had a soft spot for Djarin and offered him back a place in the Guild. Even though his offer was declined, Karga bid Djarin farewell with no hard feelings.
