Biography

▶️ (file info)^[1]

In 9 ABY,^[8] the Trandoshan Charr partook as a Hunter in the sporting competition Hunters of the Outer Rim^[1] being held on the planet Vespaara.^[9] As a newcomer, Charr challenged the Wookiee Hunter Grozz for a fight, though the Trandoshan was left unanswered. While Grozz's decision left him confused, Charr became more eager for the challenge. The human Hunter Zaina took notice of Charr's bothersome behavior against Grozz, pushing her to challenge him instead. Charr then accepted the surprising challenge thrown by Zaina.^[1]

Charr later went on victorious against Zaina, but the Trandoshan had a newfound respect for his opponent. Despite his win, however, the confusion of Grozz's decision to ignore his challenge still lingered. Later, Grozz finally issued a statement that he would not accept challenges from upstarts who had yet to prove themselves, leaving Charr in anger and vowing revenge against the Wookiee.^[1] At some point, the human Hunter Rieve accidentally barged in on Charr, who was dressing up in a prep pod.^[9]

Charr was a Trandoshan with green skin and orange eyes with a white streak on his right eye. He wore an orange sleeveless vest with yellow tunic underneath. He decorated himself with a hide and skull of a nexu around his torso.^[1]

Being a big game hunter, Charr had a passion for the wilderness, a trait which he and sharpshooter Diago Velaar bonded over.^[1] He also had great respect for the bounty hunter Bossk'wassak'Cradossk, a fellow Trandoshan whom Charr believed was worthy of becoming an Arena Hunter.^[10]

Equipment

"Rancors have an armored hide capable of withstanding blaster fire. Still, you're more likely to sssurvive the encounter if armed."

―Charr^[1]

He utilized a scatter gun as his primary weapon. The Trandoshan also carried a backpack filled with various trinkets and traps, such as the Snare Trap.^[1]
