Habas Molariou

=Description= "One of the only reasons I'm with you, Nashka, is because I'd never want to go up against you."

- Habas Molariou

Habas Molariou once bet that he could hit a single credit chit five miles away as it was thrown in the air. Unfortunately for the sentient who took the bet opposing him, Habas wasn’t bluffing. Before his untimely death on Nar Shaddaa, Habas was known as one of the galaxy’s greatest marksmen with a rifle as well as one of its deadliest assassins. He was also a rarity for his profession as he was very selective about what job he took and absolutely refused to kill women or children.

Habas perfected his skills with a rifle while growing up on Taanab, first as a hunter, and then once word spread of his amazing accuracy, as a performer. However his performing days abruptly ended after his mother and father were killed by pirates preceding the Battle of Taanab. Grief stricken, Habas abandoned the planet where he grew up and changed the focus of his profession by going after the pirates that managed to survive the battle.

He took a heavy toll on their numbers before eventually being recruited by Nashka to become part of the Dinkos. Initially reluctant to join the Rodian’s cadre of killers, Habas soon changed his mind when Nashka assisted him in drawing out the elusive pirate leader. Once their leader was dead on the ground, Habas declared his revenge complete and joined up with the Dinkos - the only provision being that he had the final say on what jobs he accepted.

From that point on, Habas made a name for himself by assassinating those who were morally corrupt. His skill with a sniper rifle became legendary, even exceeding the skill of Nashka himself with the weapon. Like many in the Dinkos, Habas grew incredibly wealthy under Nashka’s employ, however Habas again proved his character differed greatly from others in the profession by giving the bulk of what he earned to various charities (albeit anonymously). Habas also made a practice of hiring others to work under him, to guard him while he made the hit. In this way, he could concentrate more fully on making the perfect shot.

After Nashka declared he would work solo when Black Sun crumbled, Habas continued to ply his trade successfully by himself for years. Very few bounty hunters or law enforcement officers came after him as few could argue with his selected targets. In general, the bounties placed on him were too paltry for all but the amateur bounty hunters to bother with.

Sadly, Habas would eventually pay the price of his profession. Xan Dizon, a powerful crimelord with a grudge against Nashka, had him kidnapped and tortured to try and break his will. Habas managed to hold out until the very end when a small chip was inserted into his brain which forced him to act against his will. His mission: kill Nashka.

It would be on Nar Shaddaa, in tandem with others who used to work under Nashka but were now Xan’s puppets, that Habas would test himself against his former employer. Habas was as accurate as ever, but Nashka knew him and his tactics too well. The other assassin managed to fight past Habas’ usual posse of guards and get in close enough to kill him. In his last few moments of life he managed to regain enough control to let Nashka know he was grateful to be released from Xan’s commands.

Only then did Habas find peace.
