Hoss

Hoss was a Sullustan male mercenary, gunslinger, and violent criminal who was active during the Imperial Era. Seen as an outlaw legend, he was known for his wild gambling, collection of weapons, and risk-taking. He eventually became a bandit on the desert planet Tatooine after losing everything he owned to gambling.

In 3 ABY, he returned from the dunes after agreeing to join a crew for a heist being organized by the thief Kay Vess. Before the heist, Hoss lost a game of sabacc and used Vess's merqaal companion, Nix, to pay off the debt, upsetting Vess and causing her to break into the palace of the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure to rescue Nix. Shortly after, Hoss was captured by Vail Tormin, a bounty hunter searching for Vess. In an attempt to free himself, he shared Vess's whereabouts with Tormin and Jabba, ultimately leading to Hoss being mauled by two reptilian massiffs while at Jabba's palace.
