Legend

this Nalrithian bounty hunter almost captured Han Solo on Ord Mantell, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Cypher Bos wore a set of highly-polished plate armor, which helped hide his appearance. He also had a series of cybernetic pain inhibitors implanted along his spine, in order to allow him to absorb more punishment. During his hunt for Solo, he killed his own eggmate brother, Phoedris Bos, who was known to be sympathetic to the Alliance. Cypher Bos then posed as Phoedris and nearly captured Han - along with Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker - on Ord Mantell. The Alliance agents were on Ord Mantell to steal a cargo container full of credits being paid to the Empire by a former shipping company owned by ther Organa family. Much to Cypher's surprise, Solo was much faster than he anticipated, shooting and killing Cypher in a brief firefight before escaping. Their escape led them into the sights of the bounty hunter Skorr.
