Legend

this Bith was the older brother of the famous Figrin D'an, and was a Kloo horn player for the Max Rebo Twelve. He was always bitterly jealous of his younger brother, because Figrin's music became extremely popular while Barquin's own career wallowed in mediocrity. His musical compositions were often considered excellent, but his singing and playing were regarded as average. Barquin was known as a minor player, even though he performed as an opening act for Red Shift Limit, Starburst, and Annadale Fayde over his career. He traveled to Tatooine in the hope of playing with Figrin and the Modal Nodes, only to find that they were unavailable. Instead, Barquin signed on to help the Max Rebo Band play at Jabba the Hutt's palace. After Jabba had Oola killed for resisting his desires, Barquin fled the palace as fast as he could. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 67 indicates that Barquin remained with the band during the planned execution of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, hoping to throw himself into the sarlacc pit and end his miserable life. Instead, when Jabba was killed, Barquin jumped ship and fled to Mos Eisley. He eventually made his way to Stenos, where he gave up music entirely and formed a lucrative import/export business.
