Legend

this Weequay was indentured to Han Solo at one point, during the smuggler's early career as a sabacc player. Han won Grunts from Lady Valarian in a sabbac match, immediately freed him from servitude. As soon as Han left the Lucky Despot, he freed Grunts and offered him a chance to work aboard the Millennium Falcon. Grunts refused after he got into a disagreement with Chewbacca about their respective smells, and set out to find his way back to Sriluur. He tried to win enough for passage by gambling with Mawbo Kem, but Grunts was a poor player and ended up losing himself to Mawbo. She set him free, again, shortly afterward, but retained his services as a bodyguard until he could earn enough credits to book his way back home. When Han returned to Tatooine with his wife, Leia Organa Solo, to locate the Killik Twilight moss-painting, Grunts allowed them to carry their weapons into the auction, despite Mawbo's warnings against them. After Imperial Commander Quenton ordered his men to open fire on the auction's bidders, when Han tried to destroy the Killik Twilight, it was Grunts who risked his job to get them to safety.
