[edit] Biography
When Aldar Beedo the hitman picked off Fluggrian crime lord Borzu Nale with a laser rifle shot, he didn't consider some of the consequences—especially that of Nale's son, Kam Nale. Kam, distraught at his father's death, swore to annihilate Beedo in return. When he learned that Beedo was going to race in the Boonta Eve Classic, Kam saw his chance. Adopting the alias of Elan Mak, he purchased an outdated Kurtob Podracer with bulbous engines and used the money his father had left him to buy his way into the Boonta Classic. Few people suspected he could finish with a Podracer like that, but Mak did manage to place fifth despite having never Podraced before.
While at the Boonta Classic, Mak was confronted by rookie bounty hunter Rango Tel. Tel was hired by a rival crime lord to assassinate Mak to ensure he did not carry on his father's empire. In a dark alley, Mak defended himself and killed the bounty hunter.
Realizing his skills as a pilot, Mak elected to look further into Podracing, and his races doubled as a front for his mission to eliminate Beedo. When it became clear that the Kurtob wasn't fast or strong enough to give him victory, Mak switched to a prototype Dantel R0 Conejet and reinvented himself as a hardcore racer. He became famous for ruthlessly taking the aggressive on the track, but he always kept one yellow eye on his Glymphid target. Eventually, Beedo was shot down and arrested by a bounty hunter in the middle of a Fire Mountain Rally race, but no evidence can support any connection between this bounty hunter and Elan Mak.
