Unidentified Ranat bartender

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A Ranat bartender owned a bar on the planet Eriadu during the time of the Galactic Empire. When a thief entered the bar to escape Imperial stormtroopers, the bartender caught the young boy, threatening to kill the thief for bringing trouble to their bar. After stormtroopers entered the bar searching for the thief, the ex-Imperial soldier Beilert Valance stood to defend the boy, attacking the stormtroopers. During the ensuing fight, Valance threw the bartender against one of the stormtroopers, knocking both to the ground outside the entrance to the bar.
