Legend

this Cerean bounty hunter and assassin was active during the last years of the Old Republic. Although he was a skilled hunter, Kannu had grown tied of killing, and hated much of the tedium involved with his line of work. At one point in his career, Kannu had been forced to kill a Jedi Knight, an act that he was neither proud of nor wished to repeat. After a job on Rodia, Kannu had briefly considered giving up his career as an assassin, having finally tired of the killing. He arrived on Cularin to meet a contact about a possible job in the wake of the deaths of twelve Jedi Knights, all of whom had been killed in recent days. Much to his dismay, he had been contacted by a wealthy human who needed his skills as an assassin. His mood brightened slightly when he learned that he was to put his skills to use in protecting eleven key Cularin figures from being killed; Kannu had been hired to stop other assassins. These individuals had been working to keep the Cularin System free, and had become targets of certain unscrupulous organizations. He eagerly took the job, vowing to keep his work secret from the eleven unsuspecting targets.
