Biography


During the year 5 ABY, a Human male operated a tavern in the city of Barons Hed, located on the moon Sulon. During this time, the city was under the control of the Galactic Empire, and became a haven for Imperial bounty hunters. At some point, five Gran bounty hunters entered the man's establishment for a round of drinks. When the time came to pay for the beverages, the Gran named Shmorg offered to pay for the entire tab. However, a different Gran offered to pay for the drinks instead. The resulting confusion of who was going to pay for the drinks ultimately led to an unarmed brawl, and the bartender frantically called for the Gran to not use blasters inside his tavern. As the fight broke out, the bartender hurriedly ran around behind his bar table as two of the Gran were beaten to death.

Moments after the brawl broke out, the New Republic Jedi Initiate Kyle Katarn, who was in Barons Hed to disrupt Imperial activities, entered the bar. Using the weapons he had on hand, Katarn slew the remaining Gran when they tried to attack him. The bartender, none to happy with the fact that his paying customers were all lying dead on the floor, gruffly noted that he did not appreciate Katarn's antics. Katarn left shortly after, but not before ransacking the tavern of its personal energy shields.

Personality and traits


A gray-haired Human with black eyes, the bartender did not like at least two things on the day of Katarn's visit: Customers shooting up his bar, and people shooting up his customers. When Katarn finished his work with the Gran, the bartender made his distaste for Katarn's killings clear, but did not attempt to stop Katarn from taking his shield units free of charge. During the fight in his bar. the bartender frantically ran around in circles behind his bar table, and made his wish for the Gran not to use blasters loud and clear. However, none of the Gran were actually armed with blasters. The man also had light colored skin.

Behind the scenes


The bartender first appeared in the 1997 video game Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, and appeared in the game's fifth level. He also received a mention in the game's official strategy guide. The brawl in his tavern is initiated when the player nears the building, but since the event does not effect the story or outcome of the level in any way, the tavern encounter can be completely skipped without effect. The bartender's voice actor was uncredited.
