The lord became involved in a high-stakes game of sabacc with the Herglic gambler, whom he expected to clean out. He soon lost most of his fortune including a family heirloom, the Sunburst Pendant. Initially Lord Haakon refused to pay, claiming that the Herglic cheated, but was eventually forced to when Narloch filed a lawsuit and won. Haakon had to sell his planetary holdings and space yachts, leaving him virtually destitute. He therefore placed an illegal bounty on Narloch, dead or alive.
