Karrels Javis

Karrels Javis was a Human male criminal who served as one of the lieutenants of the Hutt crime lord Suudaa Nem'ro, lord of Jiguuna during the Cold War. While working on Nal Hutta, he had fallen out of favor after a series of mishaps for which he received the blame, elevating Javis' Twi'lek rival, Toth'lazhen, to prominence in Nem'ro's clan.

The Sith Empire, seeking to convince Nem'ro to abandon his neutral business dealings and join with them, dispatched a battle-trained agent of Imperial Intelligence to infiltrate Nem'ro's inner circle. In the guise of the pirate known as the "Red Blade," the Agent aided Javis in regaining his favor in the eyes of the Hutt. As the mission progressed, the Agent kept in touch with the spymaster known as "Keeper" back on the Imperial homeworld of Dromund Kaas.

As the mission progressed, Keeper revealed that Javis' sons Serjil and Vargai, who were flying the merchant lanes, got into conflict with a Sith, resulting in Serjil's death and Vargai being left severely crippled. Knowing this would affect Javis' willingness to support the Empire, Keeper ordered the Agent to eliminate Javis and to implicate Nem'ro's Hutt rival, Voontara Fa'athra, in the murder. Continuing this mission, the Agent was able to plant evidence that Fa'athra had been behind Javis' assassination, with the aid of the Galactic Republic.
