Gault Rennow

Gault Rennow, formerly known as Tyresius Lokai and using an alias Gellar Roing, was a male Devaronian smuggler and con artist. During the Great Galactic War he forged a romantic relationship with Hylo Visz and joined her smuggling contingent. The two formed and executed a plan to profit by breaking the Mandalorian blockade of the Hydian Way, after which Lokai betrayed the woman he loved and absconded with her share of money, causing Hylo to disappear to escape her debts. Lokai led a successful career and lived in luxury style for decades, becoming well-known in galactic underworld. However, over time his debts piled up and resulted in multiple bounties in his head, making Lokai the target of the Great Hunt. He managed to bribe one bounty hunter who was after him, but the other was more persistent, pursuing Lokai across Tatooine. Realizing he did not want to live while constantly looking over his shoulder, Lokai asked the Hunter to fake his death using a lifeless clone body of his and then joined the Hunter's crew, figuring he was safest from the bounty hunters in the company of one.

Changing his name to Gault Rennow, the Devaronian traveled with the Hunter who became the Grand Champion of the Great Hunt for years, during which he came to regret abandoning Hylo and went to look for her. Using his old contacts from the days of the Blockade, he located Hylo in Belsavis prison, where she spent almost three decades in stasis without aging a day. Her anger at him still fresh, Hylo initially wanted nothing to do with Gault, but over time slowly welcomed him back into her life. After the Grand Champion went missing during the Eternal Empire conquest, the crew looked for Hunter as long as they could, but eventually parted ways. Gault worked with several partners, eventually joining the Twi'lek escape artist Vette. During the war against Zakuul the two planned to rob Zakuulan treasury ship Gilded Star, which caused Gault to ask Hylo for help once again. Hylo introduced him to the Alliance that opposed the Eternal Empire and Gault recruited some of its leadership for the heist. Gault assembled his team on Vandin where his old associate Dretcher provided a disguise for Senya Tirall to get aboard the ship's bridge along with SCORPIO. From there, the droid opened the way to the ship's vault for Gault and the Alliance Commander, while Vette disabled the vault's security mechanisms. Gault planted a missile warhead inside the vault, which upon detonation vaporized its entire content of precious metals than was then pumped into the tanker piloted by Lana Beniko. Gault, Vette and the Alliance Commander escaped the ship with Hylo's help and after everyone received their cut for the job, decided to stay and join the Alliance's cause. Gault later participated in the defense of the Alliance base during the Battle of Odessen and the Assault on Odessen.
