Bib Fortuna/Legends

Bib Fortuna was a Twi'lek who served as a majordomo to Jabba the Hutt for many years. Bib Fortuna was a member of the Una clan. At some point in the past, Bib Fortuna was found guilty of exporting Ryll and was cast out of Twi'lek society. It was noted that he preyed on other members of his society. He had captured and trained several dancers for Jabba the Hutt. After he was cast out, other Twi'leks began breaking his name into two distinct parts as a way of symbolizing that he was cast out.

Bib Fortuna accompanied Jabba the Hutt when he had taken Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca to the Great Pit of Carkoon to be executed. Fortuna managed to escape before Jabba's sail barge exploded, but when he returned to the palace to take over, the mysterious B'omarr monks who inhabited the cellars removed his brain from his body and placed it in a spider-like walker, much as the monks themselves used. Undeterred, Fortuna managed to keep several of his plots going, eventually managing to get his brain placed in the body of another Twi'lek, Firith Olan. Then with Olan's resources at his disposal, Fortuna began rebuilding Jabba's criminal empire.
