Legend

this man was a noted scavenger and salvage operator during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Grimraker's reputation was as a cruel, heartless man who cared only for profit, and never let anything or anyone stand in his way. He was easily distinguished by the cybernetic prosthesis which replaced his left eye and ear, providing enhanced visual and auditory acuity. He and his pirate crew scavenged the galaxy aboard the freighter known as Death Merchant. Grimraker and her crew learned of the Battle of Hoth within days of its conclusion, and managed to acquire Imperial surveys of the planet Hoth in order to begin their salvage operation. They managed to locate enough parts to build two complete AT-AT walkers, as well as weaponry and a complete AT-ST transport loader. However, Arns and his crew had decided to leave any surviving Alliance personnel alone, a decision that ultimate led to their demise. He met up with Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson, and lost his life when the two pilots fought back against his pirate gang. The ensuing firefight was intense but brief, and ended with Grimraker's death.
