Deadeye Duncan

"Look, I admit it—you’re better than me. Everyone is better than me! A blindfolded, one-legged tach with a rusty knife could probably beat me, okay?"

- Deadeye Duncan to Revan

Deadeye Duncan was a male Human living during the time of the Jedi Civil War. In 3,956 BBY, he was a duelist who competed in a Taris dueling ring owned by Ajuur the Hutt on Taris, before it was bombarded by a Sith fleet led by Darth Malak.

Biography
Duncan was a competitor in the Taris dueling ring prior to the Battle of Rakata Prime, and was viewed as one of the worst at his profession. Duncan lost nearly every match he participated in, including one against Gerlon Two-Fingers, where he dropped his blaster when the match began.

Deadeye Duncan was the first duelist beaten by Revan under the name the "Mysterious Stranger", before Revan went on to defeat the other duelists that fought in the ring. When Taris was destroyed by Darth Malak's starfleet, Duncan was thought to have been killed, along with the rest of the inhabitants of Taris, though rumors circulated of his survival in the aftermath.

Behind the scenes
It is possible to lose to Duncan, after which Duncan gloats to the player with phrases such as: "I may have lost 54 consecutive matches before I beat you, but I figure I've got your number!" and "I beat you in the ring&mdash;I OWN you!" Duncan is the only Taris duelist who will gloat or even acknowledge victory over the player after winning.

Originally, the game was planned to feature a scene on Manaan that would be triggered if the player defeated all the duelists, including Bendak Starkiller. Duncan, having survived the destruction of Taris, would approach the player and ask for the permission to use the name "Mysterious Stranger"—the player's alias in the dueling ring—and benefit from his supposed status of the Taris dueling champion. This scene was cut from the final release. However, because this scene is still in the game's files, it has been restored and released as a mod.
