Biography
The fan-eared bounty hunter tried to collect a bounty on Han Solo, even though Solo thought his name was cleared. Solo blasted the bounty hunter, but before he died, the bounty hunter revealed that Jabba the Hut placed a new price on Solo's head. The incident prompted Solo to seek refuge with the rebels.

Behind the scenes
This incident establishes continuity with information given in the film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back regarding Han Solo's confrontation with a bounty hunter on Ord Mantell. C-canon sources, however, tie that information in with a different incident.
