Legend

Evazan was wanted in 12 or more star systems for the deaths of his patients. Evazan was a self-styled doctor, and offered to help many people by offering inexpensive surgery. Although no one knows if Evazan ever obtained a true doctoral degree, he was nonetheless remembered as a promising surgeon. His application to the Imperial Academy was rejected when his innate madness was revealed during an interview, and he was shipped off to the prison on Delrian. Evazan escaped to the Hindasar System, where he established his own "practice." He never stayed in one location too longer, and his movement from planet to planet helped him gain more and more victims. Evazan was searching for immortality, and was hoping that his patient's insides would point him on a path to discover it. This pursuit of immortaility earned him the nickname Doctor Death, among others. He hooked up with Ponda Baba around this time. His legacy of victims led him to be pursued by Jodo Kast, who nearly caught up to him in the Corellia System. Evazan managed to escape, but not before one of Jodo Kast's blaster shots caught him in the face. Evazan was scarred for life. Evazan and Ponda Baba fled Corellia to hide out on Tatooine, where he set up the Cutting Edge Boutique. Evazan used the boutique to continue his search for immortality until he encountered Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley cantina. They tried to bully the youth into a fight, but found themselves on the wrong side of Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber. After he and Ponda Baba barely survived, Evazan made a breakthrough: he believed that the mind, not the body, was the key to immortality. He and Ponda Baba fled to Ando, where Ponda Baba helped set Evazan up in a large castle laboratory, under the assumption that Ponda Baba would be the first beneficiary of Evazan's new mind-transferrence technique. Evazan used a stolen Imperial transmogrifier to transfer the mind of one individual to another, discarding the old body and the replaced mind. His device worked, but in reverse, displacing Ponda Baba's mind with that of an Andoan senator. Evazan then went to work for Borborygmus Gog, hoping to gain information from Project Starscream. Shortly after that project was broken up by the Shi'ido Hoole, Evazan was pursued by Boba Fett himself. The bounty hunter caught up to Evazan on the planet Necropolis and executed him while he was holding Zak Arranda hostage. Pylum required that Fett leave Evazan's body behind, in hopes of holding off the Curse of Sycorax, and Fett agreed, but held them all responsible if he never collected the full bounty. Unknown to them all, Evazan had injected himself with a megadose of his own reanimation serum, and he eventually returned to life. However, the serum only worked well on recently-dead bodies. The longer the body stayed dead before being injected, the less likely it was to survive reanimation. Evazan nearly completed his work, but was stopped by the zombie Kairn. Evazan tried to eliminate Hoole, Zak, and Tash, but Kairn refused to see his friends killed. He used the anti-serum created by D-V9 to kill the zombie army Evazan had created, then was killed himself when the potion touched him. Boba Fett then used the potion to eliminate Evazan once and for all.
