Brutus

Brutus was a Shistavanen male pirate captain active during the New Republic Era. He was originally the First Mate of the crew led by Captain Silvo, although the pirates fell on hard times under Silvo's leadership. Around 9 ABY, Brutus led a mutiny against the captain following a raid on a merchant freighter that had been carrying a single credit. The Shistavanen took command of the crew, and subsequently travelled to the pirate—controlled asteroid starport Port Borgo. At the starport, Brutus and his pirates captured a group of lost children from the mythical planet At Attin. However, the children escaped aboard the starship Onyx Cinder with the assistance of Silvo, who went by the name Jod Na Nawood, and Brutus had a bounty placed on the former captain.

After Na Nawood was captured, Brutus oversaw his trial and sentenced him to death by airlock. However, the former captain delayed his fate by revealing that he could grant the pirates the treasure of At Attin. Although Brutus was skeptical, the pirates embarked to the legendary planet, finding it concealed by the treacherous Barrier. When Na Nawood's claims were seemingly proven false, Brutus intended to execute the former captain once more, but was interrupted by the arrival of the Onyx Cinder, crewed by the children from At Attin. After learning the Onyx Cinder was the key to safe passage through the Barrier, Brutus and the pirates captured the ancient vessel. As Brutus boarded the Onyx Cinder, however, the children used the vessel's cargo lift to seize him. With Brutus trapped in the lift's claw, Na Nawood shot and killed the Shistavanen with his own blaster, taking command of the crew once again.
