Bossk

"You got a problem with Boba, you got a problem with me."

- Bossk

Bossk was a male Trandoshan bounty hunter who was the pilot of the Hound's Tooth. During the Clone Wars, Bossk worked alongside fellow hunters Aurra Sing and Castas to mentor the orphaned Boba Fett. A fierce and skilled hunter, Bossk took several jobs during the course of the war, often working alongside the young Fett as a partner and bodyguard. After the rise of the Empire, Bossk would be called upon by Darth Vader to find and capture the Millennium Falcon.

Clone Wars
A fierce warrior and hunter, Bossk was renowned and feared for his success in the field of bounty hunting. During the Clone Wars, Bossk teamed up with fellow bounty hunters Aurra Sing and the Klatooinian Castas to mentor the young Boba Fett and assist him with his vendetta against the renowned Jedi Master Mace Windu. After Fett destroyed the engines of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Endurance, making it crash on Vanqor, the bounty hunters went inside and took three hostages: Admiral Kilian, Commander Ponds and a clone officer. Bossk remained by their ship to watch over the hostages. However, the trio retreated after watching Windu's fighter escape them by making the jump to hyperspace.

As the bounty hunters stopped on Florrum to request services of space pirate Hondo Ohnaka, Bossk was left in charge of the ship, the Slave I, holding their two Republic hostages which survived the trip. As he was about to kill the hostages, the Padawan Ahsoka Tano swooped in on a speeder bike, subdued Bossk and freed the hostages. Bossk was then held at gunpoint by Kilian, with the Trandoshan's own weapon. Aurra Sing then arrived in on a speeder bike, and during the brief battle that followed, Aurra tried to escape with Slave I, but crashed after Ahsoka cut off one of the wings. Later, both Bossk and Boba Fett were taken as Republic prisoners to the Republic Judiciary Detention Center on Coruscant.

While in prison Bossk opted to serve as a bodyguard to Boba. When he saw a fight take place in the cafeteria between Obi-Wan Kenobi disguised as Rako Hardeen and his young charge he chose to stand up for Boba and threw Hardeen across a dining table creating a distraction for the prisoners to escape. Bossk and Fett fled the room in the chaos.

Bossk continued working with Boba Fett when they went to Tatooine following their escape from prison. Bossk, along with fellow bounty hunters Dengar, C-21 Highsinger, Oked and Latts Razzi went to Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina. After seeing Oked killed, Bossk and Latts invited his killer, Asajj Ventreess, for a drink and blackmailed her into taking Oked's place on their team for a job. After Ventress agreed, Bossk and Latts took her to meet their leader, Boba Fett, and the other team members. Fett's team had been hired by the Belugan Major Rigosso to protect a large chest while it was delivered via subtram to his Lord. While on the job, the tram was attacked by Kage Warriors. After several minutes of fighting, Bossk was sent to help Ventress defend the rear. On the way, however, a Kage Warrior blew Blinding dust into his face. Unable to see, Bossk was kicked off the tram. He hit the ground hard, bellowing his fury. Later, he and the rest of the team collected their share of the payment.

The Hunt for the Millennium Falcon
Bossk was one of six hunters hired by Darth Vader to hunt down and capture Han Solo. However, he failed to collect on this bounty, with his old partner Boba Fett beating him to the target.

During the Heroes of Yavin's infiltration of Jabba's Palace, Bossk was briefly spotted in the immediate vicinity of Boba Fett during performances of both "Lapti Nek" and "Jedi Rocks" by the Max Rebo Band. He later accompanied Jabba's retinue aboard the Khetanna.

Equipment
Bossk's primary weapon was a blaster rifle. He also utilized a YV-series freighter named the Hound's Tooth.
