Greedo

"'Jabba's put a price on your head so large every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you. I'm lucky I found you first.'""~ Greedo to Han Solo"Despite being born on the swampy planet of Rodia, Greedo spent his life growing up and earning a name in Mos Espa on Tatooine. He slowly grew a reputation as a troublemaker within the Tatooine communities. He became one of many Bounty Hunters of the Galaxy, taking jobs throughout the Clone Wars, including the kidnapping of some high value politicians. During the rise of the Galactic Empire, Greedo fell into work with Jabba the Hutt, during which time he continuously failed the Hutt. His final failure came at the hands of the smuggler Han Solo who shot him in a spaceport Cantina.

The Story of Greedo
 Fighting with Anakin Skywalker  "'Watch it Greedo, or your going to come to a bad end'""~ Wald to Greedo"Growing up on Tatooine gave Greedo the skills he would need to survive a harsh environment. Even as a child Greedo would cause trouble and was noted as someone to avoid. After the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace in the year 32 BBY, Greedo was unhappy with the victory of the slave boy Anakin Skywalker. Greedo begun a fight with Anakin after he declared that the slave boy cheated in the race. In his defense Anakin began to fight Greedo, and with ease began to "win" the fight. Quickly however the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn ended the fight and separated the two. He asked Greedo if he still thought Anakin had cheated and he responded yes. As Greedo walked away from the fight, he was told by a fellow Rodian that if he was not careful he would meet a bad end. Something that would come true 32 years down the road.

 Kidnapping  During the Clone Wars, Greedo had continued his history of crime and deceit. He had begun work for Jabba and had created many contacts within crime syndicates. During the Galactic Conflict, Greedo was hired by the Separatist Trade Federation and given the job of kidnapping two Pantoran daughters, Che Amanwe and Chi Eekway, the daughters of Chairman Papanoida. They wanted the daughters to use as leverage to the Chairman, and to use to help bring Pantora beside the Separatists. Greedo and another Bounty Hunter wen to Coruscant to kidnap Che Eekway, however during their attempt Greedo was struck in the head by an idol. Greedo's accomplice stunned the girl and they quickly left the area. However, the blood of Greedo remained on the idol. This caused Chairman Papanoida to know it was Greedo who committed the crime, leading him to Jabba's Palace to find Greedo, to find his daughters. During a game including dice, Greedo was pulled away by a Twi'lek, telling Greedo Pantorans were at the Palace to see him. When the Pantorans attempted to get the truth out of Greedo, Greedo and his accomplices attempted to kill the Chairman. However, the Chairman and his bodyguard managed to turn the situation around. They brought the Rodian before Jabba and managed to pressure Greedo into confessing his crime. He told them everything and agreed to lead them to Che Amanwe. He took them to Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina where his allies were holding the Pantoran daughter. He attempted to keep the situation calm and asked them to bring out Che, however during the handoff, he burst from the room and ordered his allies to kill the Pantorans. Greedo managed to slip away completely unharmed. It was most probably his last time working for the Trade Federation and he was probably punished by Jabba for his sloppy job.

 Standoff  Years later, in the rein of the Galactic Empire, in the first few years of the Imperial occupation of the galaxy, Greedo grew in his power due to the rising power of the crime syndicates across the galaxy. A record in the Journals of Obi-Wan Kenobi recall an event where Greedo and another Sullustian were in a standoff in the street across from the Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina. Greedo dared the Sullustian to draw his blaster however, from the watching crowd, the Jedi known as Obi-Wan Kenobi put both combatants under a Jedi mind trick where he forced the pair to go for drinks instead. This disappointing many in the crowd, with such people as a Bith who had been betting their money on Greedo. This however could have been when Kenobi indirectly saved Greedo and delayed his death for a few more years.

 Discovering the Lightsaber of Ki-Adi Mundi  In the year 0 BBY, Greedo was sent by Jabba to Mygeeto with more of Jabba's thugs such as Barada and Takvaa. Their job was to eliminate InterGalactic Banking Clan Vice Chairman Anolo, and bring back the Givin codebreaker. The exact reasons for this extraction is unknown however it was most likely for more financial profit for Jabba. The job went successfully and Greedo was able to quickly dispose of the Vice Chairman Anolo. Greedo did however, for his own skin, sacrificed Takvaa to get away. With his codebreaker close, but trapped in a room Greedo grabbed the closest thing to escape: The Lightsaber of Ki-Adi Mundi, which had been left behind since the battle of Mygeeto at the end of the Clone Wars. He destroyed the window of the office and escaped to his allies on a sail barge. He successfully escaped with the lightsaber, however his main objective failed when the codebreaker fell to his death. Returning to Jabba nearly saw the end of Greedo, as he told Jabba of his failure yet again. Greedo attempted to present Jabba with the ancient weapon he had stolen, however Jabba thought it useless. He was about to feed Greedo to Pateesa, his rancor when a collector of antiquities from Batuu called Dok-Ondar offered to purchase the lightsaber from Greedo, making it a worthwhile grab. This saved Greedo however, Jabba's patience with him was wearing thin. Jabba gave Greedo one last job and sent him away into the Dune Sea, threatening death if Greedo failed again.

 Finding Han Solo & Death  Greedo had been in Mos Eisley when he spotted Han Solo with Chewbacca inside the local Cantina. Greedo was also aware of a very large bounty on the head of Solo for his mistake of letting go of his cargo at the first sign of Imperial threat. Greedo took his time and approached the smuggler, fully intending to impress Jabba with his large profile capture. Han told Greedo he had the money for Jabba, to which Greedo told him he would "forget" he saw Solo in return for that money. Han didn't agree with this to which Greedo believed would be his death. However, after stating he had waited a long time to kill Solo, both he and Solo pulled their triggers. Han managed to hit Greedo in the chest, killing him and Greedo's shot hit the wall next to the smuggler's head.

 Legacy 

Greedo immediately slumped, dead in his chair. Han simply stood and left his body there in the Cantina waiting to be discovered. In a town such as Mos Eisley, his body was probably removed and dumped somewhere in the town. As someone who seemed to constantly fail, the people around him, particularly Jabba, were most likely not greatly affected by his death.

Not long after the destruction of the first Death Star, Sana Starros went on a hunt for Han Solo. Her hunt began at the Cantina of Greedo's death and asked around for anyone who could lead her to Solo. A group of Rodians approached her. When asked about Solo they told her that he was responsible for killing one of their "brothers", Greedo. They told Sana that if they knew where Han was he would be dead already, presumably as revenge for the death of Greedo.

Personality and Traits
Greedo always thought highly of himself, and as he worked in the employment of one of the most highly feared Hutts of the galaxy, he thought he too would be highly feared and respected. He however was most often the weakest link in any group of smugglers and hunters. He was always overly confident in his ability to complete tasks and his ability with a blaster. He once stated to Takvaa that he "doesn't miss", something that was proven wrong at his death at the hands of Solo. He was almost always found in the Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, looking for jobs or getting into trouble. He saw the cantina as his base of operations, and was his territory for picking up jobs and sometimes even closing them.

Powers / Abilities
Greedo was exceptionally bad at most things. He had a tendency for picking jobs to difficult for him, therefore he never learnt to grow better. Greedo was however hired by Jabba the Hutt, giving him a automatic sense of power over other meager Bounty Hunters on his territory. As a Rodian, Greedo had an innate ability to thrive in certain environments, such as humidity and certain gases. Greedo also had heightened senses, which came in handy for his bounty hunting

Equipment
Greedo was a useless shot with many blasters, and used many of them. During an extraction mission on Mygeeto he was using a sniper rifle. However most of the time he was seen using a DT-12 Heavy Blaster Pistol as his trademark blaster of choice. He also used a series of grenades, including a thick dioxis grenade that choked his targets to death. ""
