Biography

Ellorrs Madak blaster — Ohwun De Maal reaching for his blaster pistol.

He was a former scout and freelance instructor, teaching whoever would pay him how to fly starships. He made several runs to important trade worlds such as Celanon, Byblos, and Yaga Minor. Along with his wife, Chachi De Maal, the pair owned several docking bays in Mos Eisley including Docking Bay 27, 43, 67, 71, 86, and 94. They also owned the droid WED-9-M1. Owhun and his wife were both present in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina during Luke Skywalker's fateful encounter with Han Solo. During Solo's stay on Tatooine, he coincidentally happened to be using Docking Bay 94, owned by the pair. When Solo and his group blasted out of the docking bay past the Galactic Empire, the previous amicable friendship between the Duros and Jabba Desilijic Tiure turned sour.

Ohwun and his wife sometimes worked for the Galactic Empire, and in their line of work, dealing with shady characters on a frequent basis, they made use of several aliases. Among these were Ellorrs Madak and Bringe who were never seen without their partners, Baniss Keeg and Probos, the aliases used by Ohwun's wife. They were also known to have smuggled bacta to the Rebel Alliance in their freighter, Millanti.^[2]

The information clarified that Baniss Keeg and Ellorrs Madak were aliases used by the Duros couple.
