Biography
Life on Nal Hutta
In the decades leading up to his success, Nem'ro was a cunning leader in the gangs of Jiguuna, an industrial town on the Hutt's adopted homeworld of Nal Hutta. He was an ambitious Hutt, using blackmail and savage cunning to systematically muscle his way into complete control over Jiguuna. His businesses included shvash gas mining, dealing spice and trafficking weapons. His path to success earned him enemies along the way including Fa'athra the Hutt, "Huttsbane" and even Black Sun.[5]
Allying with the Sith Empire
Like most all Hutts who reach the peak of their career, Nem'ro left the day-to-day operation of his enterprises to underlings while he concentrated on food and revelry in his palace on Nal Hutta.[5] His closest associates, for a time, included the lieutenants Karrels Javis and Toth'lazhen, as well as the enforcer Kaliyo Djannis.
His operations did not go unacknowledged for long as the Cold War went on, as the Sith Empire took a keen interest in the Hutt and his control over the gas industry. The Imperial Intelligence spymaster known as "Keeper" sent an operative to infiltrate Nem'ro's court and gain his allegiance. Assuming the identity of the space pirate known only as the Red Blade, the agent gained the trust of Nem'ro and his closest men, carrying out several tasks on their behalf.
In the end, after framing the Galactic Republic for having aided Fa'athra in assassinating Karrels Jarvis and his bodyguards inside Nem'ro's palace itself, and gaining holodisc evidence of this, the agent succeeded in driving Nem'ro to the Imperials. The Hutt soon contacted nearby Sith embassies, and Keeper expected to have him on their side within the month.
Great Hunt
Nem'ro also helped sponsor the protege of the late bounty hunter Braden after the latter helped the Hutt out on his business and killed the Trandoshan hunter Rarsk in Fa'athra's palace to get the sponsor chip Nem'ro had give him previously.
Assassination
- "The average Hutt lifespan is a thousand years. Nem'ro was only six hundred. Stupid bounty hunter!"
- ―Archiban Kimble, after hearing that his cure won't make the Journal of Xenomedicine
It was later revealed that Nem'ro was infected with an incurable disease. He was eventually cured by Doctor Archiban Kimble. Nem'ro would then be killed by Skadge, the Houk having escaped Belsavis and eventually tracked him down, ending the Hutt's life.
Behind the scenes
Nem'ro the Hutt was mentioned in a development diary released by BioWare.[1]
Interestingly, on Nem'Ro's biography page on the official website, there are several phrases in Aurebesh. When translated, they read "Supports Hutt cartel Neutrality," "Houk and Rattataki Bodyguards," and "Betrayed Skadge."[5]
