Tasu Leech

Tasu Leech was a human male assassin and pit fighter active during the Imperial Era and New Republic Era. Grew up on the Hutt colony planet Nar Kanji, Leech became one of the deadliest pit fighters in the fighting pits of Nar Kanji, being called a child prodigy. By the time the First Order rose to power, Leech held the title of topboss, leading the criminal organization Kanjiklub.

In 3 ABY, during the reign of the Galactic Empire; Leech was loaned by the Hutt Clan to protect the bounty broker Syphacc against the cyborg bounty hunter Beilert Valance. He proved himself capable of a fight, though Valance's skill and armaments overwhelmed the young assassin. Sometime after his encounter with the cyborg, Leech fought a fellow pit fighter Rodrigu Battle and was hired by the bounty hunter T'onga, along with her wife Losha Tarkon to join her crew in an attempt to rescue the true heir of the Unbroken Clan, Cadeliah. Under the employment of T'onga, Leech did various jobs with the crew and formed a bond together. Despite their failure to rescue Cadeliah, he stuck around the crew.

However, a dilemma appeared when they were hired to protect the Pyke Syndicate at the Accretion Disco, which was responsible for killing the many people of Nar Kanji. The problem grew even bigger when he learned that the attackers were fellow people from Nar Kanji. He was given the option to kill his people or to kill the people who had wronged his people. Leech then killed the Pyke he was supposed to protect, Omel Sampak, after being told of the bombing committed under his command to a fight school on Nar Kanji, killing many students in their sleep. He later reached a breaking point after an ambush by the Inferno Squad at the black market spaceport Depatar. With T'onga's blessing, Leech departed and left the crew.

Decades later, Leech, leading the Kanjiklub, came along with another criminal organization Guavian Death Gang and boarded the bulk freighter Eravana to confront the smuggler Han Solo and Chewbacca about their debts. Unbeknownst to everyone, the human scavenger Rey had accidentally freed a few rathtars from the freighter's cargo hold, causing chaos which ultimately killed Leech and other members of Kanjiklub in the process.
