J'Quille/Legends

J'Quille was a Whiphid hunter in Jabba the Hutt's court. He was a former lover of Lady Valarian and secretly worked as a spy for her in Jabba's presence. He was heavily prone to paranoia. He was also known be a great fighter because of his hunting skills.

J'Quille paid Phlegmin the kitchen boy to put slow-acting poison into Jabba's food. Phlegmin also anonymously blackmailed J'Quille with the knowledge of the poisoning. A B'omarr Monk working for Lady Valarian tried to inform J'Quille of this, but in a misunderstanding J'Quille killed him with a vibroblade. The vibroblade was a gift from Valarian.

J'Quille got a hold of the thermal detonator used by Princess Leia Organa (as Boushh) and hid it on Jabba's sail barge. However, some of Jabba's Weequay guards discovered and disposed of the bomb before it went off. After Jabba's death, J'Quille attempted to return to Toola, only to discover that Lady Valarian had put a huge bounty on his head if he ever left the planet. With nowhere else to go, he joined the B'omarr Monks and had his brain removed from its body.
