Unidentified bounty hunter (Rimmer's Rest)

A bounty hunter lived in the galaxy sometime around 5 ABY. The bounty hunter was hired by the droid information broker 8t88 on the moon Nar Shaddaa to serve as backup and as a bodyguard to the droid as 8t88 held a meeting with former rebel agent Kyle Katarn. The meeting took place in the Rimmer's Rest cantina, but the meeting quickly turned south. The bounty hunter moved to Katarn's back, holding a DH-17 blaster pistol to the agent's head. A Gran bounty hunter meanwhile moved in front of Katarn as 8t88 attempted to offer a final ultimatum. Katarn rebuked, prompting the droid to order the bounty hunters to kill Katarn. The Gran however decided to chat with Katarn before doing so, and inadvertently gave the agent enough time to disarm both bounty hunters and escape.

Behind the scenes
The bounty hunter first appeared in the 1997 video game Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. The bounty hunter appeared in the game's second cutscene, where only a Human arm was visible. When gameplay started right after the cutscene, the bounty hunter was shown to be a Grave Tusken. However, in the novella written by William C. Dietz, Dark Forces: Rebel Agent, the bounty hunter was too a Rodian.
