Gilramos Libkath

"It stinks of treachery. It stinks of Gilramos Libkath."

- Jabba the Hutt

Gilramos Libkath was a conniving male Neimoidian, with an unusually deep voice and wearing a large miter, who served as Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray's aide and contract-scribe during the Clone Wars.

Biography
For unspecified reasons, he was exiled from his homeworld of Neimoidia and went to Tatooine.

On Tatooine, he forced children to steal for him, including Ygabba Hise, keeping the children (to whom he was known as "the Master") under control using devices implanted in their hands that released toxins in the body if the children left the planet. Libkath even went as far as to steal weapon and spice shipments from Jabba the Hutt that he would sell to his old friends, the Separatists, earning him the Hutt's hatred.

Jabba hired a young Boba Fett as well as Durge to kill the Neimoidian. He was well-protected, however, rarely appearing in person and instead communicating with his children via holographic transmissions, and in addition to a personal complement of battle droids, he also wore a device of some sort on one hand that allowed him to fire bolts of red lightning.

The bounty hunters, despite attempting to kill one another every step of the way, managed to catch Libkath off guard. Boba smashed Libkath in the head twice with a brick before swooping in and stealing his miter. When Libkath tried to flee, Boba shot an air tank, blowing up Libkath's hideout. Libkath and all of his attending battle droids were destroyed along with his hideout in a derelict Theed cruiser, and his miter was given to Jabba by Boba as proof that Libkath was dead. The hat was then burned by Jabba.

Behind the scenes
This character was originally intended to be the Neimoidian seen with Nute Gunray on Geonosis in Attack of the Clones and in CIS Shadowfeed Dispatch 14:10:05 Edition in Star Wars Insider 71. He was named after costume supervisor Gillian Libbert and production controller Kathryn Ramos. Despite being identified by name in Attack of the Clones: The Visual Dictionary, it has since been established that the Neimoidian with Nute is in fact Rune Haako (even though he neither looks nor sounds anything like him).
