Deadeye Duncan was a Human male duelist who lived on the city-world of Taris during the time of the Jedi Civil War, a conflict between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. In 3,956 BBY, around the time of the Sith attack on the Republic cruiser Endar Spire, Duncan was the lowest-ranked member of his profession, and competed in non-lethal duels at a dueling ring owned by Ajuur the Hutt. During that year, Duncan lost matches to both the combatants Gerlon Two-Fingers and the "Mysterious Stranger," the latter of whom was the former Sith Lord Darth Revan. The two defeats extended Duncan's losing streak to fifty-five consecutive matches. In his duel against Two-Fingers, he dropped his blaster and was shot by Two-Fingers. Many dueling fans viewed Duncan as a very poor duelist, and he was considered by some people, including a veteran duelist named Marl and the ring's announcer, to be the worst duelist of all time. The dueling announcer went so far as to say that defeating Duncan was expected, and that it was not a surprise when he was defeated.
