Legend

this near-human ran the Black Sun operation on Smarck, during the early years of the New Republic. He resembled an overweight human male, but had scaled, tan skin and a series of five bony ridges along the top of his skull. He had arranged to kidnap Feena D'Asta and keep her drugged and in custody, while a clone of Feena was created and placed on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. Grappa the Hutt kept her drugged with a regular dose of gree spice, and paid Macus to engineer more clones. However, Macus discovered that Grappa was making partial payments. Macus required a full payment in order to produce the clones Grappa needed to infiltrate the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He confronted Grappa, who assured him that the debt would be paid. In the meantime, Macus told Grappa that Kenix Kil was really Kir Kanos. When the Zanibar failed to locate Kil, Grappa had one of them shot. Macus objected, and Grappa shot him as well. He kept Macus' body frozen, in order to fool the other members of Black Sun into believing Macus was still alive. In order to preserve his secret, Grappa had all the other guests who witnessed the shooting killed as well. The New Republic later destroyed his cloning facility on Genon. Meanwhile, a bounty hunter (who resembled Dengar) fled Grappa's court and brought the news of Kayniph's death to Y'ull Acib.
