JANGO FETT

(Human male: Bounty Hunter)

The name Fett carries with it a cold air of dread and competence. To those with the credits to hire him, it is synonymous with success. To those with reasons to fear, Fett means capture or death. The name and reputation are just two of the many things Boba inherited from his father, Jango. In the final years of the Republic, Jango Fett was regarded as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy.

A proficient marksman and unarmed combatant, Fett was covered in a sleek armored suit that concealed his scarred visage and strangely-tattooed forearms. His combat gear featured an arsenal of weaponry, including retractable wrist blades, a snare, dual blaster pistols and other more exotic tools of the trade.

In combat, Jango used his harnessed jetpack to gain the advantage of speed and height over his enemies. The backpack also carried a nasty surprise -- an explosive rocket could be launched from it. For insterstellar travel, Jango and his son Boba traveled aboard their well-worn starship, the Slave I.

EXPANDED UNIVERSE

Jango Fett's reputation reached throughout the galaxy, though he did disappear from bounty hunting circles for almost a decade, as he took time to care for his son. Still, if the credits were right or the challenge appealed to him, he would don his battle armor periodically and venture from his hiding place. On rare occasions, he would go against his solitary nature and pair up with Zam Wesell.
