The Fat Man

Legends Linked from 1 article

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Fat Man was a greasy, scar-faced individual with small eyes and a rotund build under the employ of Jabba the Hutt. He was the audience for Arica's audition as a dancing girl and in the end hired her for the Hutt.

Seen as a petty man who enjoyed what little power he wielded, the Fat Man tried to impress people with his so-called "Important Person" routine, where he boasted of how he was once used to protect Jabba's anonymity by being sent out to meet with people. This in turn caused some on Tatooine to believe he was actually the crime lord himself.

Mara Jade, who was posing as Arica to infiltrate Jabba's Palace, saw this as a backhanded compliment; though he was trusted enough to finalize the Hutt's deals, he was effectively "assassin bait," and therefore expendable.
