Preigo was a male Dug circus master who operated Preigo's Traveling World of Wonder during the Clone Wars. Leading a nomadic lifestyle with his performers, Preigo would visit various worlds and perform shows for those weary from the war.
Biography
Priego was a Dug[2] showman who led his own circus.[3] His circus employed acrobats, clowns and starnge beasts.[1] At some point, his circus made it to the planet Florrum, where they performed for a band of Weequay pirates. It wasn't the first time Preigo had performed for them but was wary of the Weequay after they had decapitated one of his performers.[2] In 20 BBY,[4] Preigo traveled to the planet Florrum after making a special agreement to go again for Hondo Ohnaka. The last time he visited him was quite disappointing when one of his artists was decapitated by one of Hondo's pirates. Preigo hoped that he would do a great job to impress Hondo since he was afraid to mess up. On the way to Hondo's base, he met five circus acrobats who immediately showed their best side note.[3] Valuing their artisty, Priego hired te group, but he had no idea that these acrobats were in fact Jedi Initiates that were on a mission to rescue Padawan Ahsoka Tano.[3]
During the performance, the Younglings took action by rescuing Ahsoka and were able to cause a distraction. This caused a lot of commotion, in which Preigo did not hesitate and was afraid of what Hondo would do to him. After the Jedi caused the show to go awry for the circus performers, Preigo launched his ship off of Florrum to avoid the wrath of the pirates.[3]
Personality and traits
Priego was a male Dug[2] showman and who was 1 meter, or 3 feet, 3 inches tall.[1] He had gray hair, purple eyes and gray skin.[2] He was an effective manager, of his own circus.[1] Preigo was a considered an arrogant and perfectionist Dug, who loved making a dramatic appearance. As such, he would ride into the ring on a trained Narglatch. However, he was not able to detect that five "acrobats" he met on his way to Hondo's pirate base were actually Jedi younglings who were on a mussuion to rescue Ahsoka Tano. After the Jedi revealed their identity, Priego and his crew fled the premises in fear, ensuring they did not succumb to the same fate as one of Priego's performers had during their last visit.[3]
Skill and abilities
Priego was the lead showman of his traveling circus.[3] He was also skilled in negotiations.[1]
