Ree Duptom

Ree Duptom was a bounty hunter - a notably unpopular one - during the Galactic Civil War and pilot of the Venesectrix. He was apparently the only bounty hunter kicked out of the Bounty Hunters Guild for falsely incriminating a pair of fellow guildsmen and profiting from their misfortunes. Others in the trade considered Duptom the lowest of scum, but it didn't stop him from being an independent hunter. Ree used the same unethical method under Kuat of Kuat's payroll to make it seem as though Prince Xizor was behind the Imperial raid on the Lars moisture farm of Tatooine. Some time in 3 ABY, Duptom was found dead by Boba Fett of radiation exposure to the Venesectrix engines. In one of the prisoner cages aboard the ship, Fett discovered Ree had been keeping a recently memory-wiped Neelah and brought her aboard Slave I for safe-keeping along with the droid used to record the false evidence of the moisture farm raid. There is no hard evidence to determine whether Duptom died of his own carelessness in maintaining his evidence or if it was purposeful sabotage. It was known that he had many enemies.
