Zevel Hortine

Zevel Hortine was a notorious Corellian male glitterstim smuggler who operated in the years surrounding the formation of the Galactic Empire. Hortine briefly owned the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 after winning them in a game of Liar's Cut. When he was arrested by law enforcement in orbit of Ingo, Hortine ejected his cargo to the planet below, including the droids, who had been in the cargo bay at the time.

After finding the orphaned child Kaj Nedmak stowed away aboard his freighter, Hortine allowed him to remain aboard and trained him to become a smuggler. When Hortine retired several years later, he left his ship to Nedmak.
