War'qi was a bounty hunter and big-game hunter operating at least from 4 ABY to 10 ABY. Not being a hunter only for the money, War'qi was known to enjoy the thrill of hunting, giving his preys a chance to survive. However, he had also mistreated and killed some of his sentient preys during his career.

War'qi used a bounty hunter armor including different weapons and toys particularly as add-ons in his arms. His personal favorite was an Antipersonnel Net Gun allowing him to capture a prey and, in case the prey is not defeated yet, use the electric shock delivery of the net in a process that could kill the unfortunate victim. War'qi disliked less protective armors such as the Castaan Staad.

To avoid spoiling the fun of hunting, War'qi used SoroSuub's Firestorm-1 mini-missile launcher instead of the Fireball because Fireball included a guidance package, which War'qi considered an unfair advantage. Fellow weaponry-user Lloco, who would rather not have a fair fight with a fugitive, disagreed with this idea.

War'qi was also knowledgeable in explosives: He modified Merr-Sonn stun grenades introducing detonite in them, to create powerful bombs that looked like non-lethal weapons. War'qi was careful to include enough explosive to beat all the people he was supposed to beat with one grenade, but not too much to avoid an expansive wave covering his own position.

Up until some point before 5 ABY, War'qi commonly captured the people he was tracking, then tied them and kept them in the hold of his ship. Sometimes, War'qi's employer claimed that the mark had been mistreated and paid War'qi less than the stipulated amount. Other times, the supposed victim counterattacked War'qi, who had to fight in his own ship. To avoid this kind of events, War'qi bought a Damorind Securities Force Cage, which he used for his captives.

As a big-game hunter, War'qi hunted Ghests in the swamps of Rodia using specialized weapons. He liked the Firearc 49 speargun because it only had one shot before reloading.

War'qi frequented Gundark's Gundark's Gear Datalog during the early years of the New Republic, sharing anecdotes from his hunts and offering professional opinions on the products he liked most and less. He wrote a unfavorable review on the Salus Tangler Elite 1, although he did not say specifically whether he had used it or not.

Behind the scenesEdit

War'qi has only been mentioned in Gundark's Fantastic Technology: Personal Gear, a West End Games role-playing supplement where War'qi is one of the people leaving messages on the datalogs (Other individuals include Platt Okeefe and Gunman). These messages were designed to serve as scenario hooks for gamemasters, or to provide possible modifications for equipment. Others provided explanations for why weapons could fail; gamemasters were encouraged to draw on these to explain what occurs when a player rolled an unlucky number.

War'qi's sex is not specified in the book; this article uses masculine pronouns just for convenience.

The datalogs seem to suggest that War'qi had been posting from Atzerri, Bothawui, Kashyyyk, Kothlis, Reuss and Selonia. However, each post gives only the first three letters of the planet from which it has been sent, so this would be at best ambiguous.

War'qi is misspelled War'qui in his post of the Merr-Sonn Stun Grenade, or it refers to a different person.
