Navik the Red hunted and killed most of Greedo's Clan (Clan Testus for you trivia buffs.) He was named so because of the large red birthmark on his face. This is one of my favorite figure customs, though Navik and Greedo's backstory may be now considered apocryphal. For those who don't know, Greedo and his family were on the run from Navik, he went to Nar Shadda, Han beat him up and stole his jacket, he fell in with a bad crowd, and made so many enemies that if Han hadn't killed him, there were two others in the cantina who were about to anyway. Now, however, theres a cut scene from The Phantom Menace in which Anakin gets into a fight with a Rodian boy. After Qui-Gon breaks up the fight, Wald scolds the Rodian saying "Keep this up Greedo and you'll come to a bad end." In the novel it's Wald who's fighting with Anakin, and in the comic it's just an unnamed Rodian. We may have to wait till Episode II to find out the truth.
