Fennec Shand

Fennec Shand was a human female bounty hunter, elite mercenary, and Master Assassin who worked for the top crime syndicates during the age of the Galactic Empire. Skilled and ruthless, Shand worked her way up the criminal underworld during the beginning of the Empire's reign, becoming renowned and gaining a reputation as a cunning and elite mercenary. After the fall of the Empire and the imprisonment of many of her employers, Shand went on the run. Though hunted down and left for dead, fate would intervene and she was rescued by Boba Fett.

Entering the bounty hunter scene shortly after the birth of the Galactic Empire, Fennec Shand quickly proved her merit, and began taking lucrative jobs. One of her earliest bounties was a direct commission for the young clone Omega, for whose bounty Shand clashed with veteran hunter Cad Bane. Though her commission ended without the capture of Omega, Shand went on to become a high-profile assassin for the leading criminal syndicates of the galactic underworld, including the Hutt Clan. After the destruction of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War, many of Shand's top employers were imprisoned by the New Republic and she was left without vital lines of work. Shand found herself a fugitive from justice and escaped to the Outer Rim world Tatooine.

Now being tracked by bounty hunters herself, Shand hid out in the deserts of Tatooine and avoided capture for some time before two hunters, the Mandalorian Din Djarin and the rookie Toro Calican, located her and led an assault to take her down. Though she managed to stall them, the two gained the upper hand and took the once-great assassin captive. Shand tried to negotiate her release with Calican but, after she managed to convince him to turn on Djarin, the rookie shot Shand and left her to die. She was discovered by the renowned bounty hunter Boba Fett, who then saved her life. Indebted to Fett, Shand began work as his partner in crime.

Shand and Fett traveled to the planet Tython to recover Fett's armor from Djarin, who had acquired it on Tatooine. In return for the armor, Shand and Fett agreed to aid Djarin in his quest to rescue his foundling, Grogu, from an Imperial remnant led by the rogue Moff Gideon. After helping him take control of Gideon's light cruiser and rescuing Grogu from the Moff, Shand and Fett parted ways with Djarin and returned to Tatooine, where they claimed Jabba the Hutt's former palace for themselves.
