Legend

Greedo was a Tetsus Rodian, and grew up away from the violence of Rodia with his mother, Neela, and his brother, Pqweeduk. The Tetsus clan fled to an undisclosed jungle moon following the murder of Greedo's father, a noted bounty hunter known as Greedo the Elder, by the Chattza clan leader, Navik the Red. When Navik invaded the jungle moon, Greedo's family moved to Nar Shaddaa. There, Greedo became involved with Spurch Goa and Dyyz Nataz when he saved them from Gorm the Dissolver. Two Chattza Rodians, Thuku and Neesh, then hired Goa to eliminate Greedo. Goa lured Greedo into the underworld of bounty hunters when Greedo approached him about information regarding the Alliance team living on Nar Shaddaa. Goa agreed to teach Greedo if Greedo paid him his portion of the credits for the information on the Alliance. Greedo agreed, and Goa strung him along until they all ended up on Tatooine, applying to Jabba the Hutt for one of Jabba's many bounties. Greedo, much to Goa's mixed chagrin and desire, signed up to collect the bounty on Han Solo. Greedo intercepted Han Solo in the Mos Eisley cantina, overconfident in his abilities to capture Solo and collect Jabba's reward. Han secretly drew his blaster under the table and shot Greedo in the midsection, killing him instantly. It is believed that Greedo often padded his bounties, waiting for the person to commit further crimes before actually apprehending him in order to drive the bounty up. Note that Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina makes no reference to the fact that Greedo had already been a bounty hunter for some time, while the Movie Trilogy Sourcebook makes no references to Greedo being a rookie when he was killed by Solo.
