Mathus

Mathus was a Human male technician from Tatooine.

History
Mathus was orphaned while very young, growing up on the streets of Anchorhead on Tatooine. He possessed remarkable intelligence but did not have opportunities to usefully apply it, which motivated him to lead a life of crime, until he met Honwoo, an old Rodian mechanic that taught Mathus the basics of machine repairing, thus changing the boy's future.

Mathus began assisting Honwoo in his repair shop, and along the years learned through trial and error the inner workings of every machine that passed through the shop. He was particularly interested in refitting and repurposing machines, such as his power converters turned into shock gloves.

As Honwoo's repair shop was mostly specialized in droid fixing (repair, maintenance and reprogramming) for Tatooine's limited number of droids, Mathus became a droid expert.

Eventually, Mathus' skills drew the attention of Teemo the Hutt, who offered him a position at his palace for high pay. Mathus accepted, but he soon found out that his job requirements did not meet his qualification. Teemo, among other things, wished for Mathus to design blueprints based on battle droids, while Mathus knew only how to repair them.

When Mathus tried to leave Teemo, the Hutt threatened to harm Honwoo. He then planned an escape, by rewiring droid 41-VEX to make the droid want to escape as well. He then befriended explorer Sasha and joined efforts to leave Tatooine.
