The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on official non-canon information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A human was the leader of a group of twenty thieves who attempted to steal the astromech droid R5-D56 from the former Sith known as the Ronin. After threatening the Ronin and warning their people not to hit the droid, they ordered the thieves to open fire on him. The Ronin deflected their blaster bolts with his lightsaber, killing several, but the leader ordered his people to continue shooting, claiming not to be afraid. When R5-D56 fired rockets at the thieves, the leader attempted to flee, but they and all but one of the remaining thieves were killed.

Biography

A human was the leader of a group of twenty thieves associated with a casino located on^[1] Mount Hakamori,^[2] a snowy mountain on an astronomical object. At one point,^[1] the former Sith^[3] known as the Ronin and his astromech droid^[1] R5-D56^[3] crossed over a deep gap in the mountain by using the leg of a fallen All Terrain Armored Transport as a bridge. The thieves blocked the Ronin's path on both sides of the leg, and the leader called out to the Ronin, telling him that if he gave up his droid, he could die painlessly. When the Ronin did not respond, the leader called out to threaten the Ronin again. They then warned their people not to hit the droid and ordered them to attack.^[1]

The thieves opened fire with their blasters, and the Ronin drew his lightsaber and deflected the blaster bolts, killing several of them. The leader ordered their people to continue shooting, claiming they were not afraid of a Sith. When one blaster bolt struck R5-D56's hat, the leader reprimanded the thief who had shot it, reminding them not to hit the droid. R5-D56 then readied several weapons, causing the leader to look at him with confusion while the other thieves fled. The droid then fired rockets at the thieves, and the leader turned to run and screamed. Despite their attempts to flee, the leader and all but one of the remaining thieves were killed.^[1]

The Ronin later met the Jedi known as Shogun—who had witnessed the beginning of the encounter—while bathing in a hot spring. Shogun informed the Ronin they had heard of the deaths of the thieves and that the casino was closed because of the incident.^[1]
