Description: Cad Bane: BoBF
Prefix: BH
Detachment: Bounty Hunters Guild
Context: Cad Bane: The Book of Boba Fett

Cad Bane, employed by the Pike Syndicate, attempted to assist in the expansion of spice movement throughout Tatooine. After a shoot out with the Marshall of Freetown (then known as Mos Pelgo) Cobb Vanth, Bane set out to ease spice movement through the city of Mos Espa by eliminating the larger obstacle. That of his old apprentice, Boba Fett. After a confrontation with Fett, in which Bane took the upper hand, Fett was able to defeat Bane using his new Tusken Raider fighting skills to stab Cad Bane in the chest with a gaderffii stick, leaving him seemingly dead.
