설명

From the Movies

Eluding the Imperial starfleet after the Battle of Hoth, the Millennium Falcon and her crew demanded the personal attention of Darth Vader. Disgusted with the fleet's inability to capture a single smuggler vessel, Vader turned to the shadows of the Empire, the galaxy's fringe. He hired six elite bounty hunters, offering a substantial reward for the capture of the Falcon. Answering the call was the grizzled human hunter known as Dengar.

From the Expanded Universe

"Payback," they called him, a bounty hunter with a gravity well-producing chip on his shoulder. Sure, the professionals will advise keeping hunts from getting personal. For Dengar, however, personal vendettas have fueled much of his career.

The Corellian was once a daring swoop-racer until a competitive rival named Han Solo cut his career short. Although it was Dengar who was at fault -- he crashed his swoop into Solo's vehicle -- he blamed Han for the debilitating cranial trauma that followed.

Dengar was patched together by agents of the Empire and transformed into a remorseless killer. The bio-implants that replaced damaged flesh stripped all emotion from Dengar, save for hatred and a burning need for revenge.

The rebuilt killer worked for the Empire. Equipped with a Corellian JumpMaster 5000 christened the Punishing One, Dengar was a one-man judge, jury and executioner tracking down criminals of the New Order. When word of the hefty bounty on Solo reached him, Dengar vowed to track down the Corellian smuggler. Dengar became an independent bounty hunter.

During his Imperial employ, something changed Dengar. A reprehensible order to kill the Holy Children of Asrat did not sit well with the assassin, and he left Imperial service. Instead, he began targeting Imperials. The death of a COMPNOR general convinced many in the Alliance of Dengar's change of heart.

His rediscovered conscience, it would seem, was but a ruse to get closer to the Rebellion, where Solo resided. Despite his transgression against the Empire, Vader nonetheless invited Dengar aboard the Executor to discuss the capture of the Falcon.

Although Dengar failed to capture Solo, he did find something unexpected in his hunt. He came across a beautiful Aruzan woman named Manaroo, whose compassion and access to a cybernetic link stirred the long-buried emotions inside Dengar. The two fell in love.

It was a rebirth for Dengar. Surviving the collapse of Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire, Dengar's newfound compassion and camaraderie extended to rescuing a naked and wounded Boba Fett who had clawed his way out of the Sarlacc's gullet. The two formed a working partnership that would last years, and Fett even served as best man at Dengar and Manaroo's wedding.

Fett and Dengar eventually parted ways during the resurrected Emperor's campaign to retake the galaxy. Though he surfaced from time to time in the years after, Dengar's current whereabouts and activities are unknown.

Behind the Scenes

Dengar's weathered costume points to his Imperial origins -- his armor consists of cobbled-together pieces from snowtrooper, sandtrooper and stormtrooper armor, repainted from its original white.
