Legend

the bounty hunter wore Mandalorian shock trooper armor, similar to that worn by Boba Fett, although it is unknown if his armor is as modified. In reality, Kast was once a Special Ops resistance fighter during the earliest days of the Galactic Civil War. On a mission to Goratak III, he killed a man that he thought was Boba Fett, and the belief that he had killed the infamous bounty hunter gave him an idea. Kast decided to abandon the rebellion, and set out on his own to become a ruthless and cunning bounty hunter. Kast patterned his own life after Boba Fett, and often let his quarry assume he was the famous bounty hunter. After obtaining his Mandalorian armor from a scrap heap on Zaadja, he often got jobs for his resemblance to Fett, when the party posting the bounty wanted Fett's reputation but couldn't afford it. It was Kast who pursued Ponda Baba through Truuzdann. He later teamed up with Puggles Trodd and Zardra when he was approached by Captain Parlan to hunt down Adar Tallon. When Kast took a New Republic bounty to hunt down Jerresk's pirates, he came under the notice of Dengar, who relayed the hunter's impersonation of Boba Fett to Fett himself. Fett, using the alias Sava Brec Madak, hired Kast to hunt down the ficticious Satnik Hiicrop. Hiicrop was none other than Boba Fett, who managed to capture Kast on Nal Hutta some five years after the Battle of Yavin. Fett injected Kast with a neural toxin to disable him, then blew up the building Kast was lying in.
