"The Vile. Call me Bobo."
"What happened to Jupas? He's the leader of the Vile."
"Not anymore. I'm in charge now."

―Bobo and Zilastra

Bobo was a Sanyassan who led the pirate gang known as the Vile. Shortly after ascending to become the leader of the Vile, Bobo became aware of a deal between the Vile and the other gangs in the region. Zilastra, the leader of the Riftwalkers gang, revealed the details of the agreement and promised each of the leaders that they would then receive a payment in the form of a locked case. Communicating via hologram, Zilastra's droid couriers uttered the code phrases that unlocked the cases. However, instead of receiving the valuables, Bobo and the other leaders were killed by the cases, which were secret explosives that Zilastra had sent.

Biography

Bobo was a Sanyassan pirate who was a member of a gang known as the Vile. By 33 BBY, he had replaced the gang's former leader, Jupas. As the leader of the gang, Bobo had the privilege of sitting upon an iron throne. Shortly after his ascension to leader of the Vile, Bobo was instructed by a droid courier to call in to a hologram communication with leaders of the other gangs in the Slice region of the galaxy. Bobo and the leaders of the other gangs listened as Zilastra, the leader of the Riftwalkers, recounted the deal the gangs had struck, explaining the details to Bobo, who had not been in a leadership position when the Vile had agreed to Zilastra's plan. There, Bobo learned the reason that each of the gangs had agreed to not attack any ships belonging to the conglomerate Regal Voyager, understanding that a case of valuables had been delivered to them as part of the deal. Bobo pointed out that he had not been able to open the case or even scan what was inside, and Zilastra told him that the droids were there to utter the code phrases to open them. However, the cases had been a ploy by Zilastra, and were filled with explosive baradium-357. As the cases were opened, Bobo, along with the other members of the call, were killed by the explosions, and Zilastra's plan swiftly rendered her rivals leaderless.
