Fenn was a burly spacer who once had his pocket picked during a visit to the Dancing Dewback cantina. The thief, a child named Cev Rees, melted into the cantina crowd, slipping Fenn's wallet into the hands of his companion, a pilot named Rhen. Rhen claimed he had dropped it, and offered Fenn a drink in order to avoid any possible confrontation with the spacer.
