Legend

Bidlo Kwerve was a Corellian whose life was a series of harsh misadventures. He was noticeable by the vicious scar on his face and the stark white streak running through his thick, black hair. He was at one time a member of Jabba the Hutt's court, where he was in charge of inventorying incoming smuggled cargo. He was in line to be promoted, and was vying with Bib Fortuna for the position if Jabba's major domo. Bidlo was responsible for locating the Rancor beast that Jabba kept for a pet. He haggled for the location of a wrecked spaceship in Tatooine's wastes with some Jawas, and snuck out of Jabba's palace with some guards to recover it. One of the Gamorreans that went with him, Orrtug, was brutally attacked by the Rancor when they first located it. Bidlo was able to knock the Rancor senseless by detonation a stun grenade near it. Then, he and Bib Fortuna presented the Rancor to Jabba as a birthday present. Jabba was pleased and astounded by the gift, but having learned that Bidlo took his prized Gamorreans on an unauthorized mission into the desert, served Bidlo up as the Rancor's first meal in captivity. When Luke Skywalker was fed to the Rancor, it is rumored that he used Bidlo Kwerve's skull to activate the door which crushed the Rancor and killed it.
