Tirog

Tirog was a Human bounty hunter, associated with the pirate Drebble, the smuggler Platt Okeefe, and a child who called himself "Ace". He also owned a protocol droid named GT-9R, or "Niner."

Biography
Tirog, Ace, Drebble, and GT-9R once visited an open-air marketplace on a world with a bright blue sun. During this visit, they were accosted by a gambler accompanied by two armed thugs, who had apparently been pursuing the group for some time. When the gambler and his cronies prepared to fire on the foursome, Tirog fired back. His counterattack immediately killed one of the gambler's thugs, and stunned the other.

Abilities and traits
Tirog was an expert shot with a blaster, especially blaster pistols. He was also skilled in piloting repulsorlift vehicles and space transports, especially Ghtroc Industries light freighters. As a trained bounty hunter, he was also skilled at searching for hidden objects and individuals, and at avoiding blaster bolts and other weapons fire. Though Tirog was not an expert sentientologist, he knew a good deal about Wookiees.

Equipment
Tirog owned a battered Ghtroc Industries light freighter (probably a Class 720 freighter.) He acquired it second-hand from some smuggler acquaintances, reasoning that the bounty on their heads was worth less than the ship.

Tirog's personal equipment included a comlink, a pair of macrobinoculars, a jet pack, and two medpacs. His arsenal included a heavy blaster pistol, a light repeating blaster, a holdout blaster, and a knife. During his time with Ace, Niner, and Drebble, he had 800 credits in cash.

Behind the scenes
Ace is one of the characters appearing in "Tirog's Story", a series of gameplay examples in Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, Second Edition. Tirog's player in "Tirog's Story" is identified as Greg. Other gameplay examples in the rulebook use Tirog, especially examples of combat and skill use.

Tirog's statistics and equipment are based on the "Bounty Hunter" character template in the second edition rulebook. Though the template in that rulebook is for an Iotran character, Tirog is later depicted as a Human in Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded.
