Legend

this being was a native of the planet Tyne's Horky, and a known droid abuser, during the early years of the New Order. It was Yorbo who purchased R2-D2 and C-3PO at auction, only to trade the droids to Jann Tosh shortly afterward. Yorbo, who worked for Kreb Zellock, believed that the trade was more to his own benefit. When he told Zellock about it, Zellock ordered Yorbo to capture Jann, on whom he had placed a bounty. After discovering the truth behind Kez-Iban's past, Yorbo and Zellock tried to increase their fortunes by collecting the bounty on him as well. However, their plans turned sour when R2-D2 and C-3PO helped Jann and Jess Meade rescue Kez-Iban and exposed Zellock's plans. When Yorbo realized that Zellock planned to betray him, he helped Jann knock Zellock unconscious. They later split Zellock's fortune and went their separate ways.
