Saturday Showcase: Black Krrsantan

Straight from the pages of Star Wars, Darth Vader, and Doctor Aphra comes my first showcase of the year 2022.  Who is the character that I speak of?  It's none other than the cruel and calculating killer and bounty hunter, Black Krrsantan. Before he made his appearance on the Disney+ series the Book of Boba Fett, he was a big deal and I am here to tell you why.

Black Krrsantan is a black-furred Wookie bounty hunter that was active shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, and continued his work as a bounty hunter into the Galactic Civil War before aligning himself with Doctor Aphra.

Black Krrsantan was born and raised on the jungle planet of Kashyyyk at some point before the Clone Wars. After some time living on Kashyyyk and being raised as a Wookie warrior, Krrsantan would be forced to leave his homeworld and start a life of crime as a Bounty Hunter.  He began working for Jabba the Hutt in his criminal empire as one of the Hutt's many bodyguards and bounty hunters.

While working with Jabba, Black Krrsantan would be summoned by his master to Tatooine to stop the unidentified individual who was stopping the collection of his Water Tax. Krrsantan would be confronted by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who would fight the Wookiee in a duel on the planet, resulting in the Jedi using his lightsaber to cut Krrsantan across his face, resulting in Krrsantan gaining a scar over his right eye. How bad ass is that?  He fought Ob-Wan and lived to talk about hit.

After this loss, he found himself doing bounty jobs to the highest bidder and occasionally working for Jabba again.  In one particular mission, he was sent with fellow bounty hunter, Boba Fett to assist Lord Vader to find a scientist who was working on a secret project for the Emperor.

He would eventually cross paths with Doctor Aphra and join the ranks of her band of misfits as the would pull jobs for the Empire, mainly Darth Vader.  They would also do someside jobs to help line their pockets with much needed coin.  Not much is known about how Krrsantan met his end or maybe there are more stories yet to be told.
