Legend

this rotund man was a noted bounty hunter during the era of the New Order. Few beings were aware that Durane was also hired by Bail Organa of Alderaan to be his weapons master, and that Durane was responsible for training Leia Organa in the use of a blaster. Durane had served with Bail Organa during the Clone Wars, and each man had saved the other's life many times. It was during the Clone Wars that Durane's family was killed by a mysterious plague, hardening him to the realities of life. He was considered a very dangerous man, with no loyalties except to whomever is paying his paycheck, and he always completed the jobs he was hired to do. When Bail Organa requested his help in training Leiam Durane gladly accepted. When he completed Leia' training, Durane took another job, this time being paid by Imperial General Emir. Emir wanted Leia assassinated, and he hired Durane to dot he job. Unfortunately for Durane, Leia had learned her lessons very well. Before he could shoot her, Durane found himself shot in the chest by Leia's weapon. He died shortly afterward, but not before praising Leia's skills.
