Mercurial Swift

Mercurial Swift, born Geb Teldar, was a human male bounty hunter who was active from the reign of the Galactic Empire into the early days of the New Republic. As a bounty hunter, Swift preferred working alone, even refusing a business proposal from veteran bounty hunter Dengar. Later, Swift found work with Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, in which he evacuated Commandant Brendol Hux and his son Armitage Hux during the Siege of Arkanis. At Sloane's request, Swift searched the Emperor's wrecked luxury yacht on Quantxi for information about the Imperial officer Gallius Rax.

Swift's collusion with Sloane made him a target of the New Republic operatives Norra Wexley, Jas Emari, and Sinjir Rath Velus. They trapped him on the planet Taris and forced him to disclose Sloane's whereabouts on the planet Jakku. Seeking revenge against Emari, Swift decided to collect a bounty on her head placed by the Black Sun crime boss Gyuti. Swift hired Dengar, Embo, and the Rodian Jeeta as his crew, and they managed to capture Emari on Jakku. However, Emari managed to convince Swift's crew to turn on him by appealing to their dislike for the bounty hunter. Following a struggle, Jas threw Swift out of his ship and hired his crew.
