Rango Tel was a Human male bounty hunter who hailed from Sernpidal. Growing up as a street ruffian, an instance of pure and utter luck led him to believe that it was his life's calling to become a bounty hunter. Defeating a drunkard in an unruly bar brawl, Tel ended up collecting a bounty he never pursued. Swindled into wearing an inappropriate vac-exposure suit that he believed was Mandalorian, and with the Pa'lowick smuggler Aneesa Dym at his side, he sought to find and kill Kam Nale for a local crime lord. His career, however, ended before it began, with Nale killing the hapless Tel in a back alley in Mos Espa.

Tel, or "Tank Head" as he was known by his contemporaries, was not particularly quick witted and was prone to violence. His naiveté caused him to pay top dollar for an inadequate suit that he thought was Mandalorian and of high quality, and his inexperience led to his death. The circumstances under which he died also point to an ineptitude for combat, which was generally regarded as being unwise amongst the bounty hunting community.
