Obron Mettlo

Obron Mettlo was a Moorin mercenary and assassin who was, if his own statements were accurate, a veteran of dozens of battles. In most of these battles, he fought on the winning side. He arrived on Tatooine around 0 BBY, and began to search for work in Mos Eisley.

Soon afterwards, while the Devaronian spy Kardue'sai'Malloc sat in the Mos Eisley Cantina, he overheard two Human criminals in the Mos Eisley Cantina try to hire Mettlo to help rob another bar on the other side of town. Mettlo, whether he was annoyed by the poor grasp of his native tongue displayed by his perspective employers or considered a simple robbery beneath a professional like himself, declined the the offer. Kardue'sai'Malloc later recommended Mettlo to Jabba the Hutt, noting that despite the Moorin's bad attitude, he was an intelligent, experienced professional.

Unfortunately for Kardue'sai'Malloc, Mettlo's time in Jabba's service was short lived. Soon after getting into a fight and killing two of Jabba's other henchmen, Mettlo was fed to Jabba's rancor. It was also rumored that Mettlo had been hired as an assassin by Jabba's rival, Lady Valarian, and that he had been ordered to infiltrate Jabba's court to kill the Hutt kingpin. Kardue'sai'Malloc had to give Jabba free information on Lady Valarian's upcoming wedding in order to make up for his error, and escape being eaten himself.
