Biography
A male Duros worked as an assassin in 1 ABY, during the Galactic Civil War. He was contacted by the bounty hunter Bossk to take part in job to capture or kill the new Baron Administrator of the floating Cloud City of planet Bespin, Lando Calrissian. In that year, Baron Administrator Dominic Raynor gambled away the ownership of the city in a game against Calrissian, an professional sabacc player. Raynor felt that his opponent cheated,&mdash;which was actually true&mdash; that's way he hired Bossk to extract revenge on the gambler. Knowing that Calrissian would be well protected, Bossk contacted some mercenaries and cutthroats, including the Duros assassin to help him to deal with any problem that might arise during the hunt.

After the Duros and his companions slipped through the security of Cloud City, they began setting up an ambush to capture Calrissian. The plan was to lure the Baron Administrator to a maintenance level with a fake emergency call. Bossk hacked into the city's communication system and, impersonating the chief engineer], reported to Calrissian that a primary [[repulsorlift pod was in bad shape and would break down&mdash;a critical failure that would destroy the floating settlement. Calrissian responded immediately and went to the city's lower levels to check the pod himself, however he took his Twi'lek bodyguard and four Bespin guards along as a precautionary measure.

Bossk ordered his companion to take cover but remain in sight to lure Calrissian out. Since, they wasn't sure which turbolift Calrissian would arrive in, the Duros and the others spread into every room near the lifts. After Calrissian's group entered the maintenance level, a blast door suddenly shut behind them, and the ad hoc bounty hunter group opened fire on the guards of the Baron Administrator. Calrissian's escorts decided to hold their enemies off while the Baron Administrator escaped through a nearby hangar. The Duros engaged his opponents with a blaster in the erupting combat. Thanks to the distress call sent by a member of Calrissian's party, a quartet of Wing Guards arrived to assist the Baron Administrator, who fled the ambush through the hangar.

Behind the scenes
