He was sent to work for Count Dooku to insure the assassination of representatives from the planet Kynachi befor ethey reached Coruscant, and to further the plans of Dooku and his master using JedipadawanNuru Kungurama.

Biography
When Count Dooku contacted the Death Watch and requested a sniper, Hudu Shiv was sent. He arrived at Dooku's retreat on Kohlma, and after being tested with remotes to prove his prowess, he was sent on to Vaced with specific instructions.

Shiv prepared to perform his assassination outside of Vaced's spaceport, and was hidden under a camouflage net in a tree when Breaker, a member of Breakout Squad passed under him, and stumbled upon Shiv's speeder bike, Shiv knocked Breaker unconscious and tied him up, as he had been instructed to not allow anyone to know that a Mandalorian had been involved in the assassination.

When the Kynachi representative Langu Sommilor arrived on Vaced, Shiv used poison darts to kill him and the two pilots who accompanied him. Shiv prepared to go, leaving behind the utility belt of Ring-Sol Ambase as Count Dooku had instructed, when Nuru Kungurama approached him on a stolen swoop with a swoop gang in hot pursuit. Shiv had been instructed to leave Kungurama alive, and attempted to elude them, but knowing the swoops were faster than his speeder bike, Shiv tossed a thermal detonator, knowing Kungurama would be able to avoid it. When Kungurama followed Shiv into the canyon called Shattered Rock, now accomapnied by the swoop biker Gizman, Shiv had circled around and was prepared, shooting Gizz, and causing the swoop to crash.

Shiv went to check to make sure the young Jedi was alive, and found him not only alive but conscious. The two fought a brief duel before the Hasty Harpy, the ship Kungurama had been travelling on, arrived. Shiv used his jetpack to flee, and when the Harpy followed him, he used his rocket to attack the ship. He returned to his Pursuer-class enforcement ship and, after detaching the lifeboat, sent the ship by remote control to follow the Harpy, and let it be destroyed. Then he took the lifeboat to a nearby space station to wait for a Death Watch ship to pick him up, hoping to someday confront Kungurama again
