Lotas was a Rodian cyborg bounty hunter.
Biography
Lotas began his career as a full-fleshed bounty hunter without cybernetic implants. This eventually changed after he captured a Duros prey and delivered him or her to the Galactic Empire. The Imperial admiral, secretly a strong investor in SoroSuub technologies, offered Lotas a choice between a 7,000-credit reward or 25,000 credits in prototype cybernetic attachments. Lotas accepted the cybernetics and became a test subject for SoroSuub.[1]
Lotas noticed an improved performance of himself, so he began accepting cybernetic implants instead of cash for bounties, and he also bought more cybernetic implants with monetary bounties.[1]
During a competitive run-in with Jodo Kast in Trax sector, Lotas lost his right arm, but he gladly replaced it with a cybernetic one.[1]
At some time between 4 BBY and 2 ABY, Lotas joined Ploovo's Protocol Team, a group of "debt collectors" working for loanshark Ploovo Two-For-One. Lotas disliked the "frailties of the flesh", preferring to be considered more a machine than a being, so he felt admiration towards assassin droid HN-TR1, another member of the Protocol Team.[1]
During the Glite-Ven hostilities, Lotas noticed the sadistic droid EV-4D9 and expressed his interest on it, an interest shared by HN-TR1. Following their advice, Ploovo bought EV-4D9, who became a new member of the Protocol Team. Lotas respected EV-4D9's darkly analytical functions.[1]
