Garindan

Garindan was a Kubaz who was considered to be the "greatest spy in Mos Eisley spaceport".

He was known to many as simply Long-Snoot because of his long, trunk-like nose. His eyes were hidden beneath dark goggles, as they were extremely sensitive to the harsh sunlight of Tatooine. His name translates to "Blessed One," "burnt wood," "dust from a windstorm," "ugly," and "toast" in five different languages. The third translation may have had something to do with his being on Tatooine.

With his face hidden beneath his dark hood, goggles and snout, few on Tatooine knew his origins. Many believed that he was widely wealthy, though his vast amounts of credits were only seen when he paid for information.

Garindan's information was priceless, and his skills went to the highest bidder, whether it be to Jabba the Hutt (who was wary of Garindan finding out too much about Jabba's business transactions) or to the Imperials.

Just prior to the Battle of Yavin, he was hired by the local Imperial prefect to find two missing droids. Once he discovered them, he followed the droids and their new owner to Docking Bay 94. Despite the fact that he called down a squad of Imperial stormtroopers upon them, they narrowly escaped.
