- "What's a pretty bald babe like you doing in a desert like this?"
- ―Oked to Asajj Ventress, before he was killed
Oked was a male bounty hunter. During the Clone Wars, he joined up with a syndicate of other bounty hunters in order to complete a job on the planet Quarzite. Prior to starting the job however, the team gathered on the planet Tatooine, where Oked and his fellow hunters Bossk and Latts Razzi visited Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina. In the cantina, Oked tried to talk to the Dathomirian Asajj Ventress, who killed him when he became angry that she was ignoring him.
Biography[]
- "You just killed one of our team."
- ―Bossk informs Ventress of who Oked was
During the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, the male bounty hunter Oked joined up with fellow bounty hunters Bossk, C-21 Highsinger, Dengar, and Latts Razzi under the leadership of the young clone Boba Fett in order to complete a cargo escort job on the planet Quarzite for the Belugan King Otua Blank. Before journeying to Quarzite, the hunters gathered in Mos Eisley spaceport where Oked, along with Bossk and Razzi, visited a local cantina.[2]
While drinking in the cantina, Oked noticed the Dathomirian woman Asajj Ventress walk in and order a drink. He approached her and tried to strike up conversation. When Ventress ignored him, Oked grew angry and grabbed her arm, which caused Ventress to ignite one of the lightsabers on her belt. The weapon's blade impaled Oked through the abdomen and killed him, silencing the bar. Once the atmosphere returned to normal, Bossk and Razzi invited Ventress over and informed her that Oked had been their teammate. They offered her the chance to take his place in the mission, threatening to bring her to the authorities if she refused. The Dathomirian agreed, and the trio left as the cantina's Nimbanel bartender dragged Oked's corpse outside.[2]
