Legend

a heavy-set individual, Kleb maintained a small criminal empire on the planet Tyne's Horky during the early years of the New Order. He was distinguished by the specialized visor he wore over his eyes, as well as his thick lips, which surrounded a mouth full of sharp teeth. Kleb operated Doodnik's Caf� as a front for many of his activities. He planned to make a fortune by mining Nergon-14 and then selling it to the highest bidder, and worked his miners hard to ensure a steady production of the explosive. When the time came, Zellock planned to simply leave Tyne's Horky with his fortune. He failed to anticipate the arrival of R2-D2 and C-3PO, who were trying to rescue Kez-Iban and return him to his homeworld. In the ensuing melee, a load of Nergon-14 was activated, and Zellock tried to flee. One of his closest lieutenants, Yorbo, realized that Zellock had betrayed him, and helped Jann Tosh render Zellock unconscious. As the group fled Zellock's mining base, the Nergon-14 exploded. It was believed that Zellock died in the explosion, but he was actually captured by Jann Tosh and turned over to the authorities.
