Arleil Schous/Legends

Arleil Schous was an aging Defel male. Like all Defels, he had the ability to bend light around himself, becoming especially hard to see at dusk, though his ability to do this had diminished with age.

He was present at Chalmun's Cantina the fateful day that Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi entered the bar. He sat with Bom Vimdin, Brainiac, Hem Dazon, and the unidentified gold-skinned man.

He operated as a mercenary, and was one of the Rebel Alliance's contacts in Mos Eisley.

Behind the scenes
His famous scene when his eyes glow red in the dark was replaced by Melas, due to George Lucas' wish. However, Arleil may still be seen in the background behind Hem Dazon's introductory shot.
