- "Barkbone substituted the absent leg with a peg of cybernetic design, though I sadly cannot say the same for his brain."
- ―Rufaan Tigellinus[src]
Reginald Barkbone was a legendary Poss'Nomin pirate of the Seven Sectors. Among his accomplishments was a legendary sail through the fire rings of Fornax. He also plundered the palaces of Hapes, resulting in the loss of one of his legs. This absent limb would later be replaced by a cybernetic peg.
Barkbone's ship was the stolen Star Galleon Robber Baron. In battle, he was known to wield a lightfoil which he acquired during a Tapani raid. He spoke Lok Pirate's Cant, as well as a bizarre dialect of Basic, every word of which was annoyingly repeated by a dwarf monkey-lizard who sat on his shoulder.
Barkbone was notoriously evasive. While pillaging the principalities of Axion, he escaped Emperor Palpatine's Royal Guards by exploding a Gonk droid with a limpet mine, though not before losing one of his three eyes and half of his face. Grand Admiral Rufaan Tigellinus claimed to have fruitlessly pursued him from the Colonies to the Outer Rim Territories and back. Even the Loronar Navy led by Ernest Chimnet spent an entire month hunting Barkbone, yet failed to capture him.
The only complaint was known to air was that he owned a vegetarian COO-series cook droid, as he greatly preferred meat.
