Bib Fortuna

Bib Fortuna was a Twi'lek male who lived on the desert planet Tatooine. He served as Jabba Desilijic Tiure's majordomo and chief of staff for decades, handling all of the day-to-day operations at Jabba's Palace, while secretly hating the Hutt and longing for a chance to kill him in order to assume his place. By 32 BBY, Fortuna had assumed the position as Jabba's majordomo, and it was he and the Hutt who oversaw that year's Boonta Eve Classic, in which a nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker won the podrace.

By the time of the formation of the Galactic Empire, Fortuna continued to serve Jabba as his right-hand-man. In 19 BBY, Fortuna contacted Cid and asked that she retrieve a rancor, Muchi, from Zygerrian enslavers. With the help of Clone Force 99, Murchi was brought to Fortuna, who in turn brought the rancor to Jabba. Twenty-three years later, and Fortuna continued to serve Jabba. That year, Luke Skywalker and the Alliance to Restore the Republic went to Tatooine to rescue Han Solo. During a battle over the Great Pit of Carkoon, Jabba was killed by Princess Leia Organa and his sail barge, Khetanna, was destroyed.

Following Jabba's death, Fortuna assumed control of his palace as a crime lord, becoming obese in the process. In 9 ABY, Fortuna was killed by bounty hunter Boba Fett, who took over his throne.
