Wef

"They had a better offer for the goods. Three times better. I like being alive almost as much as I love credits, so I made the deal."

- Wef

Wef was a Melbu arms dealer who worked for the Hidden Hand criminal syndicate during the Imperial Era. Beilert Valance and his crew of bounty hunters visited Wef's outpost on Heva while on their hunt for Vader, where the Melbu supplied bot-drones to them in order to destroy the Imperial Star Destroyer that pursued the crew.

Arms dealing
"Met a couple of humans over the years. Some grubber with green skin. Buncha strange characters, you ask me."

- Wef

Wef was a Melbu who became an arms dealer at some point in their life. During the Imperial Era, they arranged a deal with the Pykes, but found the clients dead at the meetup point with only a Chagrian standing, who explained that he had a better deal from the Hidden Hand. Wef, valuing their life, accepted the deal and joined the syndicate, operating on an outpost on Heva. The Melbu also conducted various deals with other individuals over the years.

Meeting Beilert Valance's team
"Bot-drones. As many as you need or could ever want. Rejected weapons intended for the Empire."

- Wef, explaining bot-drones to Dengar and Honnah

During their hunt for Vader, Beilert Valance and his crew arrived at the outpost and contacted Wef, requesting a number of bot-drones. Dengar and Honnah conversed with Wef, with the latter explaining the bot-drones' purpose and that another buyer from the Rebellion was also interested in purchasing them. Honnah asked the Melbu about the Hidden Hand, but they were unable to understand her language. Dengar reiterated her question in Basic, to which Wef stated that the syndicate kept information about themselves scarce. They told them about the deal with the Pykes, and that the Chagrian and all the other individuals they met were middle men for the Hidden Hand, much like Valance and his crew of bounty hunters. Upon sighting the Imperial star destroyer Formidable, Wef stated that they were all going to die. However, using the bot-drones they acquired, Valance's crew managed to destroy the vessel.

Personality and traits
Wef had orange eyes and brown skin. They valued their life as much as they valued credits, keeping them alive in situations such as the deal with the Chagrian. They did not concern themselves with their customers' background as long as they paid well. When seeing the Formidable in the sky, the Melbu was certain that they were going to die alongside Valance's crew.

Equipment
Wef wore red and green robes while dealing with Valance and his team.

Wef first appeared in the third issue of the 2019 comic book miniseries Star Wars: Target Vader, written by Robbie Thompson, illustrated by Stefano Landini, and published by Marvel Comics on September 25, 2019.
