Arr-Nine-Nineteen was a droid who claimed to be a Jedi hunter, but was a Hutt Clan spy in reality. During the Imperial Era, he was one of several individuals hired by the Hidden Hand crime syndicate's leader, Gwi, as part of a team tasked with hunting down the Sith Lord Darth Vader. When the cyborg bounty hunter Beilert Valance was introduced to the team, he destroyed Arr-Nine-Nineteen, and the droid's true purpose was revealed to the rest of the team.
At some point, Arr-Nine-Nineteen was built with a spying device inside his body and tasked by the Hutt Clan to conduct espionage on the Hidden Hand criminal syndicate. He eventually forged the reputation of a Jedi hunter and was hired by the Hidden Hand's leader, Gwi, to join a team of bounty hunters created to hunt down and kill the Sith Lord Darth Vader.
Arr-Nine-Nineteen is destroyed by Beilert Valance.
When recruiting the cyborg Beilert Valance, in 1 BBY, Gwi described the droid as a "Jedi hunter who never retired." Upon seeing Valance, Arr-Nine-Nineteen was burned by the cyborg's palm blaster. Gwi claimed that the team needed the droid, but Valance revealed that the droid was a mole for the Hutts, stating that Arr-Nine-Nineteen's career as a Jedi killer was falsified before removing the spying device from inside his body and crushing it. Valance and his team then began their mission despite Arr-Nine-Nineteen's destruction.
Arr-Nine-Nineteen was a masculine-programmed droid with four arms and plating colored in blue, white, brown, and red, with red photoreceptors.
Arr-Nine-Nineteen appeared in the first issue of the 2019 comic-book series Star Wars: Target Vader, written by Robbie Thompson, illustrated by Marc Laming and Cris Bolson, and published by Marvel Comics on July 3, 2019. Prior to the comic's release, the character was introduced indirectly via a mention of Valance's team by assistant editor Tom Groneman at a panel held at Star Wars Celebration Chicago in April 2019 that was later detailed in a StarWars.com article published on April 15.
