Boushh/Legends



Known for his melee skills and penchant for thermal detonators, Boushh was considered a cool-headed bounty hunter in a profession often filled with trigger happy mercenaries. An Ubese, Boushh was also extremely distrustful of his compatriots and employers, and made it his business to acquire information on them for use as blackmail insurance. Leia Organa impersonated him to infiltrate Jabba's Palace during the rescue of Han Solo.

Shortly after the formation of the New Order, Boussh was hired by the subordinates of the Black Sun Vigo hopeful Xizor to kill Omwati shipping coordinator Kodo Finn. He failed, as during the attempt he encountered both Inquisitor Tremayne and fugitive Jedi Padawan Drake Lo'gaan, after the latter managed to rescue Finn.

At some point, Boushh bacame a member of Crimson Nova, a Jedi hunting faction within the Bounty Hunters Guild. Boussh, Breela and Zuckuss tracked down Jedi Master Kai Justiss on Garqi.

Despite his precautions, Boushh was caught embezzling funds from a lucrative Black Sun contract, and was killed by Guri's combat skills. Guri kept his signature armor and gear, eventually lending them to Leia Organa to aid her in clearing Imperial checkpoints on Coruscant. Later she used the disguise and persona of Boushh to infiltrate Jabba's Palace in the plot to rescue Han Solo.

Boushh commonly wore the same outfit: a Ubese breath mask, Ogygian cloak, and Shata leather pants.
