"He claims to be an honest garbage hauler, but he's really one of the most powerful kingpins in all of Nar Shaddaa—even the Hutts won't touch him."
Kyle Katarn to Luke Skywalker[src]

Reelo Baruk was a very corpulent Rodian gangster from Nar Shaddaa.

[edit] Biography

Very little is known of Baruk's early career, though in 1 ABY he was working for Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine.

Baruk eventually made the move back to Nar Shaddaa, and opened a bar and also began his own criminal empire. Most people just saw him as the head of a local garbage hauling company, but this was not the case. He worked very hard to keep his criminal activity under the radar. His thugs were of many different alien species, and were considered some of the worst scum in the Galaxy. He became one of the most respected crimelords in Hutt Space, but kept his business covered up enough that even NRI believed him to be legitimate.

During his final years, he made a deal with the Dark Jedi Desann, supplying the Remnant with thugs for a takeover of the carbonite freezing chambers on Bespin. While looking for him, Kyle Katarn freed Lando Calrissian from Baruk's hold and eventually found the crime lord. Baruk managed to entrap him in a room full of turrets, but the Jedi escaped.

While Katarn and Calrissian were about to make their escape from Nar Shaddaa, Baruk attacked the two men with a handful of mercenaries. The criminal leader used a gun platform to hit Lady Luck while his thugs boarded the ship, but Katarn leapt into the laser turret of the Lady Luck and shot them down, including Baruk.
