Zax was a Hutt criminal who worked in the lower levels of the planet Taris. He technically worked for the official bounty office, but also had an agreement with Davik Kang that allowed the crimelord to post his 'special contracts'. He also had some underground business connections with the ancestors of the House of Organa.

He had an excellent network of informants that kept track of both bounty hunters and bounties. This worked to his and the hunter's advantage, as he always knew if job had been carried-out and the hunters didn't have to bring in bodies. However, his spies weren't infallible, an amnesmatic Revan was able to fool them into thinking Matrik was dead by demolishing his apartment with a permacrete detonator after the Twi'lek had left. Some of his bounties were Dia, Largo, the aforementioned Matrik, Selven and Bendak Starkiller. However, they didn't pay all that well, so Zax's office usually just attracted credit-a-dozen bounty hunters instead of skilled professionals like Calo Nord.

It is likely that he was killed during the Sith attack on Taris, where Darth Malak ordered his fleet to destroy the entire planet in an attempt to kill Bastila Shan.

Behind the scenesEdit

The bounties Zax offers the player are all worth 300 credits. If the player has a high Persuasion, they can convince Zax to pay 400 credits instead, and Zax will admire the player for bargaining with a Hutt.

His voice is provided by Neil Kaplan in the game.
