Bala-Tik

Bala-Tik was a human male agent and negotiator for the Guavian Death Gang,  a criminal organization in operation roughly thirty years after the Battle of Endor.

Bala-Tik and the Guavian death gang encountered Han Solo and Chewbacca on the freighter Eravana about thirty years after the Battle of Endor. They were accompanied by the Kanjiklub gang, when they threatened Han Solo.

Bala-Tik considered Han Solo a capable smuggler and a valuable source of information, but he expressed his impatience with the slippery Corellian and his endless excuses.

When he recognized BB-8, Bala-Tik told Solo that the First Order was looking for the droid and for the fugitives Finn and Rey. Upon hearing this, Rey activated the doors to release the rathtars that Han Solo was keeping on the freighter, who attacked the gangs. During the battle, Han Solo and Chewbacca escaped on the Millennium Falcon with BB-8, Rey, and Finn.

Bala-Tik appears to have survived the encounter and is last scene reporting Han Solo's escape.
