Biography

"You know… My brother was heir to the family fortune. He's gone now but you remind me of him."
«Good looking guy then.»
―Sliro Barsha to Weequay enforcer[2]

A Weequay had started working as an enforcer the criminal Hutt Cartel[2] by 3 ABY. That year,[1] they attended a summit hosted by the rival Zerek Besh syndicate at their Westhill Palace on the casino planet Cantonica. A representative for the Crimson Dawn and a Pyke representative for the Pyke Syndicate were also in attendance. The three representatives were offered a spread of food while they waited for Zerek Besh's leader, Sliro Ruback, to join them and begin the summit. The Weequay continued to eat the provided food while Ruback began the summit, outlined the state of the underworld and accused one of the representatives of sending a spy to the summit. The Pyke representative dismissed the spy accusation as a lie and shifted the topic to complain about Zerek Besh raiding the Pyke Syndicate's spice lanes. The mention of the spice lanes angered the Weequay, who stood up and yelled the lanes belonged to the Hutts. Ruback responded to the outburst by comparing the Weequay to his brother, a comparison the Weequay took as a compliment. The crime lord continued to talk about his brother's eating habits. Confused by the tangent, the Pyke questioned the point of the topic before Ruback leaned back in his chair and watched while his guards aimed gunned down the representatives.[2]
