Legend

this short, thin human had bulging brown eyes and pale skin from living too many years underground in Coruscant's southern hemisphere. He worked as an engineer, and had access to many schematics and entry codes. He was a confederate of Lando Calrissian, and agreed to help Lando and Luke Skywalker gather information on Prince Xizor's palace. They haggled on a price, which Luke paid, but they also demanded that Vidkum accompany them to the palace, as a form of insurance. Vidkum's paranoia got the best of him, and he believed that Luke and Lando would kill him as soon as they got to the palace. He pulled a blaster on them, and threatened to kill them both. A short firefight resulted in the death of Benedict Vidkum, although his information was instrumental in gaining access to the palace.
