Vizam was one of several Kajain'sa'Nikto employed by Jabba the Hutt. While in Jabba's Palace, Vizam often stood in close proximity to Jabba, behind his dais. Vizam served as Jabba's weapons master, and was manning an anti-personnel turret aboard the sail barge Khetanna at the battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon when the Heroes of Yavin and Lando Calrissian rebelled against Jabba's forces, and managed to almost kill Han Solo, Chewbacca and Lando before being killed by Luke Skywalker.
Behind the scenes[]
Vizam can be seen in standing behind Jabba's dais within Jabba's Palace during Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi and later aboard the Khetanna's top-deck.
In 1999, Hasbro produced an action figure based on Vizam (simply named "Nikto"). He was packaged in the Cinema Scene set "Jabba's Skiff Guards". The same figure was later repacked in the "Skirmish At Carkoon" set, released in 2004. In 2014, Hasbro released a brand-new, super articulated Vizam as part of The Black Series 3.75" line.
