Vizam

Vizam was a Kajain'sa'Nikto weapons master who worked for^[3] and guarded^[5] the Hutt^[3] crime lord^[6] Jabba Desilijic Tiure. He^[3] kept the crime lord's vehicles and starships well-armed. Aboard Jabba's^[2] Luxury-class sail barge,^[7] the Khetanna,^[8] Vizam stashed many hidden weapon caches.^[2]

Behind the scenes

Vizam can be seen in standing behind Jabba's dais within Jabba's Palace during Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi and later aboard the Khetanna's top-deck.

In 1999, Hasbro produced an action figure based on Vizam (simply named "Nikto"). He was packaged in the Cinema Scene set "Jabba's Skiff Guards". The same figure was later repacked in the "Skirmish At Carkoon" set, released in 2004. In 2014, Hasbro released a brand-new, super articulated Vizam as part of The Black Series 3.75" line.
