Legend

a Rybet, leader of the spice-smuggling operation on Kessel. He has one mechanical eye to replace one lost in a struggle with some of Jabba's hitmen. He bribed and murdered his way to the top of Kessel's operations, and was the primary source of bootleg spice during the Imperial occupation of Kessel. When Han Solo had to dump a load of spice which Jabba the Hutt had already paid for, Jabba placed a death mark on Doole's head. One of Jabba's men almost got to Doole, but succeeded only in blinded one of his eyes and damaging the other. This occurred around the time of Jabba's death and the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor. Doole, always the opportunist, sought to free himself from Imperial and get back at Jabba by killing off the prison warden (a man whom Jabba had already bought) and overthrowing the Imperials. He keeps captive female Rybets for his pleasure, and uses the offspring he sires on them as slaves in the spice mines. This eventually led to his demise, however, for when Han Solo and Lando Calrissian returned to Kessel to take over the spice mines following the defeat of Doole's Navy at the hands of Admiral Daala, he tries to escape them, only to be turned on by his various wives and children. He flees into the mines, where he is attacked and killed an energy spider.
