Gallandro/Legends

Gallandro was a mercenary known as a ruthless gunman.

He was born on Ylix, a world besieged by terrorists and revolutionaries from nearby Goelitz. Gallandro spent his youth oblivious to the conflict until he arrived home one day to see his parents murdered before his eyes.

Orphaned, Gallandro was moved from orphanage to orphanage, and when he was old enough he joined the planetary militia. His hatred of Goelitz served him well, and he became an excellent soldier. He volunteered for increasingly dangerous and risky missions, becoming addicted to the thrill of danger and conflict. During a raid against an enemy hospital, Gallandro killed an elderly nurse with no remorse; he had become immune to effects the violence and addicted to its excitement.

After the war with Goelitz, Gallandro adopted an outlandish style of dress and became a mercenary, hired out to the highest bidder. Gallandro's exploits became legendary. Early in his career, he hijacked the Quamar Messenger on it's maiden run, brought Geedon V to heel and held a record number of starfighter kills while flying with Marso's Demons. Before long, the quickdraw had earned a death mark on over a hundred worlds. Gallandro was the only case of the Assassin's Guild being forced to drop a contract after he killed half of the Guild's elite circle and numerous journeymen and apprentices.

After ending his feud with the Guild, Odumin acquired Gallandro's services on retainer, providing the gunslinger with a steady, comfortable income. Odumin sent Gallandro to expose an illegal slave trade involving rival Authority executives. To that end, Gallandro went to Ammuud posing as an bumbling offworlder. After collaborating with the Reesbon clan, he intentionally offended the Mor Glayyd Ewwen's sister, prompting the Mor Glayyd to challenge Gallandro to a duel. It was then that Han Solo first disrupted Gallandor's plans. The young Corellian offered to duel in Ewwen's stead. Realizing that Solo was an experienced gunman as well, Gallandro backed out of the duel.

As Solo attempted to leave the planet, Gallandro overcame the Millennium Falcon in his Espo Victory-class Star Destroyer, boarded the freighter and demanded Zlarb's data chip. Gallandro was beaten by his opponent when Han disabled his right arm by getting him to grab hold of a rigged security case.

The last time the two met was when Gallandro was working for J'uoch at a mining operation on Dellalt. Han arrived on the planet to find Xim the Despot's treasure ship Queen of Ranroon, and both Gallandro and Han saved each other's lives when a battle erupted with a group of rogue droids.

But as soon as Han found the treasure all bets were off. They dueled, and though Gallandro was the faster draw and was able to disable Han, he hadn't realized that area around the treasure vault's entrance had a no-weapons system installed millennia ago by Xim. Gallandro was vaporised by dozens of lasers which shot out of the walls.

He was survived by his daughter Anja Gallandro, who was a newborn on Anobis at the time of her father's death.
