Doune
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Doune was a Herglic who tussled with Nyo and Kinnin Vo-Shay over credits. He had the lightsaber that a young human, Nyo, wanted for his own. After playing sabacc with Vo-Shay to win the rights to the lightsaber, he lost and left the saber. Doune parted with Kinnin's obsidian lucky charm, thinking it to have magical powers.

[edit] Early Life
Nothing is known of Doune's early life, but at some point he learned how to play sabaac and acquire the droid Vee-Six.
[edit] Altercation with Vo-Shay
Somehow Doune found himself on Morado, playing a farmboy named Nyo at sabaac and beating him. He left the kid with one credit to his name. But he was challenged by the master gambler Kinnin Vo-Shay at a hand of sabaac. Vo-Shay ultimately won nearly a quarter million credits from Doune, while Doune suspected him of cheating. Doune hired the Barabel Yarrku to hunt down Vo-Shay's ship, the Ashanda Ray and get his money back. Yarrku failed, so Doune bought the lightsaber that Nyo was seeking on Nar Shaddaa. Doune then challenged Vo-Shay. In one last hand of sabaac, if Doune won he would keep Vo-Shay's lucky charm. If Kinnin won, Doune would relinquish the lightsaber. At the Nygann Cantina on Nar Shadaa, Vo-Shay lost and Doune won the charm. Doune, only wanting the pendant, left the lightsaber. Now having the obsidian charm, Doune felt confident on his future gambling career.
[edit] Personality and Traits
Doune was an obsessive gambler, and always liked to pick on weak targets. He was the epitome of hubris, and very superstitious. When he was agitated, his skin, like all Herglics, would mottle. He was not against using questionable rescources to achieve a result, and had no remorse. He liked to think of himself as a victim when he lost, and took his anger out on Vee-Six.
