Baco Par

"I really hate you, Tarson. And while I may not know you, girly, I'm fairly certain I hate you too."

- Baco Par to Wyl Tarson and Laynara

Baco Par was an extremely talented Bothan lockbreaker, counted among the galaxy's best before his retirement. By 0 ABY, Par was an inactive agent for the Alliance to Restore the Republic, characterized by Wyl Tarson as someone "the Rebellion doesn't want anymore."

When Tarson was assigned a dangerous mission to Ahakista after being discovered as a Rebel agent by Raze, Tarson set out to find Par, whose skills he needed. Par was familiar with Tarson, but when Tarson arrived in his hovel, he found it in disarray and Par passed out drunk on the floor. Tarson picked up Par and carried him into his ship, where he set out for the next stop. When Par woke up, he grumbled continually to Tarson and his companion Laynara, yet didn't back out of the job. He didn't have a significant degree of choice, however. When the trio entered the home of an unnamed Rebel trainer, Par continued his humorous complaining and insults, but stopped as soon as he saw the master of the house step out, lightsaber lit.

Behind the scenes
While Par is never explicitly identified as a Bothan, he comments that he "like[s] art as much as the next Bothan," strongly implying that he is of that species. His physical appearance does not resemble most representations of Bothans, but is not entirely inconsistent with them, given artistic license.
