[edit] Biography

J'Quille paid Phlegmin the kitchen boy to put slow-acting poison into Jabba's food, however someone unknown blackmailed him, and he'd already had to pay them 10,000 credits. Matters were worsened when J'Quille saw Porcellus and Ree-Yees standing over Phlegmin's dead body, and he knew he had to change his plan. Unsure what to do, J'Quille contacted Valarian and asked her what to do. She mentioned a B'omarr Monk, but was cut across by Jabba's booming laugh. He rushed to Jabba's court to see Leia Organa, disguised as Boushh and Han Solo pleading with Jabba.

Later, J'Quille got an anonymous message from someone who claimed to know who was behind the blackmailing, who told him to meet them on the citadel roof at sunfall. On his way to meet this stranger he noticed a shifty B'omarr Monk whom he'd seen near the kitchen when Phlegmin was found dead. Unbeknownst to J'Quille, the monk was working for Lady Valarian and had been tried to inform J'Quille that Phlegmin was in fact the blackmailer. However, J'Quille misinterpreted Valarian's comment about a B'omarr monk, and believed that the monk had been blackmailing him. After a misunderstanding, the Whiphid hunter stabbed the monk with his Vibro-blade. The vibroblade was a gift from Lady Valarian.

In the monk's hands was the thermal detonator used by Princess Leia Organa (as Boushh). He planned to make up for his mistakes to Valarian by planting the detonator on Jabba's sail barge, but it was soon stolen from him by Bib Fortuna. After Jabba's death, J'Quille attempted to return to Toola, only to discover that Lady Valarian had put a huge bounty on his head if he ever left the planet. With nowhere else to go, he joined the B'omarr Monks and had his brain removed from his body.

[edit] Behind the scenes

During production of Return of the Jedi this character was nicknamed "Tooth Face", due to the production team's inability to develop a character or species name. After the movie release, Lucas and others developed the official species name of Whiphid, and Tooth Face the individual's name, J'Quille, was revealed in Tales from Jabba's Palace.
