Biography

[Niki laughs]
[Andor knocks on the window]
«Stop! Someone here!»
―Niki whispers to Bon — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[1]
Bon, a large alien with gray skin, emerges from a beaded curtain behind Niki in the Niki-Bon Travel Agency.

Bon and Niki were co-proprietors of the Niki-Bon Travel Agency.

Bon was the alien[1] proprietor of the eponymous Niki-Bon Travel Agency on an upper level of[3] the planet[4] Coruscant during the reign of the Galactic Empire.[1] He[2] resided with[3] Niki, his human co-proprietor, in a room in the back of the office of the agency where[1] in 3 BBY,[5] the pair were laughing together when the rebel Axis network member Cassian Andor arrived at the building and knocked on the window. Hearing Andor, Niki told Bon to stop what he was doing and then left the back room to let Andor in.[1]

Bon remained in the back room while she spoke with Andor, but after the rebel asked about transport to[1] the Colonies[6] planet[7] Ghorman and used the phrase "I have friends everywhere"[1]—which was used by members of the network to identify allies[8]—Niki called to Bon and asked what they had for Ghorman. Bon then emerged shirtless from the back room and grunted while looking at Andor. The rebel later left the travel agency with a new piece of luggage and traveled to Ghorman via[1] the Coruscant Eastern Spaceport.[4]

Personality and traits

For the right price, Niki and Bon were willing to help a potential customer at any hour.[3] He had white hair, gray skin, pale eyes with no eyebrows,[1] and was giant in terms of height.[2]

Skills and abilities

Bon understood Galactic Basic Standard, but while they were in the back room together Niki used another language while speaking to him.[1]

Equipment

When Andor visited the travel agency, Bon wore black pants and an open brown jacket with red and gray stripes but no shirt.[1]
