Neg

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Captain Neg was the name (or perhaps alias) of a wealthy bounty hunter operating out of Mos Espa on Tatooine during the Naboo Crisis.

[edit] Biography

Neg's specific dealings remain unknown, however, before the time of the Invasion of Naboo, he took a young Ithorian captive whom he kept as a slave in his Tatooine apartment. While Neg himself was away, his apartment was broken into by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, in order to save the Ithorian hostage. Master Jinn would soon discover the high protection measures of Neg's abode including at least three armed associates, a deadly security door, auto-repeating blasters, and an enormous caged monster out back whose purpose for being on Neg's property remains a mystery.

Jinn had pledged to a desperate Ithorian mother that he would rescue her son, Tomo, whom Neg had taken as a slave boy. After Jinn was denied access by the dangerous, robotic entrance door, he entered Neg's apartment from a balcony after neutralizing a Nikto henchman. Neg's protocol droid alerted two more armed accomplices: a female Human and a Rodian. Master Jinn quietly killed them both and found Neg's monstrous guard-beast in its unlocked cage behind the apartment where the captive Tomo was also kept. After defeating the shaggy creature with his lightsaber, the Jedi freed Tomo and his mother rewarded Jinn by giving him a repulse booster.

Captain Neg himself never appeared, as he was hunting banthas in the Dune Sea at the time. Because his apartment was swarming with vicious guards and other illegal protective means, it is believed he may have been the head of a crime syndicate which was based on the lawless planet of Tatooine.
