Wittin was a barbaric warlord whose large tribe profited from robbing travelers and committing other foul deeds like plundering moisture farms, earning him a place as the most feared Jawa on Tatooine.

[edit] Biography
For many years, inhabitants of Tatooine quaked in fear at the sight of his massive sandcrawler roaming the dunes until it was destroyed in a skirmish with Imperial troops, who were attacking sandcrawlers randomly in search for C-3PO and R2-D2. Jabba Desilijic Tiure offered to buy him a new sandcrawler if Wittin won his demolition contest.
He entered Jabba's demolition contest using a remote controlled B1 battle droid on a Trade Federation STAP, as he was not willing to risk his own neck. He added some upgrades to his vehicle, such as his Ion double blaster which immobilized the target and knocked it down, doing damage as well. In addition to this, his special weapon also relieved the target of any droid supporting it.
Soon after the games were finished, Wittin was seen in Jabba's Palace while Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were attempting to rescue Han Solo from his carbonite prison. Around that time, he was plotting with Jabba to take control of a neighboring tribe's territory.
He was onboard Jabba's sailbarge during the skirmish at Carkoon. Whether or not he died is unknown, but it is inferred he may have somehow by some means survived (see below).
[edit] Behind the scenes
To unlock him in Demolition, you need to score an ultimate victory with both Aurra Sing and Quagga.
According to University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life: The Jawas, Wittin continued his reign of terror after Jabba's death, indicating that the Jawa chief did not die on the sail barge.
