Biography
Edit
Circa 1 BBY, Ammar, a noted art collector, owned the Chandrilan flatsculpt "Stars and Moons". The Sullustan gambler and con man Cunbus Locb, strongly desiring the item, schemed a complex plan and eventually won the artwork from Ammar during a high-stake hand of sabacc. Locb then hid the item in his ship, Distant Wind. Ammar then discovered that Locb had cheated during that crucial hand, and the Moff sent his troops after Locb. Locb was killed during the ensuing violence.[1]
Ammar confiscated Locb's ship, correctly deducing that "Stars and Moons" would be onboard. He then searched the Wind thoroughly, but he failed to find the secret, smuggling space where Locb had hidden the piece — or a second compartment where Locb had hidden a forgery of it. Ammar eventually offered the ship, with its secret cargo, in an open auction. He also offered a reward for the flatsculp, and every art dealer in the sector did know that "Stars and Moons" was a stolen piece.[1]
Ammar was often seen smoking a cigarra. It is possible his perpetual habit led him to make a deal with crime lord Torel Vorne in 6 ABY. He placed a winning bid on the lungs of shockboxer Lobar Aybock, who was set up to lose a championship bout against Outer Rim Champion Tull Raine. Ammar attended the fight at the Dool Arena in the Broken Tusk on Reuss VIII. He sat at Vorne's private table, eating Kubindi mudbug and sipping Grada.
Due to the intervention of a New Republic Intelligence team commanded by Bren Derlin, Aybock managed to defeat Tull Raine and Vorne's illegal organ donation trade was exposed. The New Republic soon after took over the governing of Reuss VIII.
