Embo

Model BH-51311, Photo by Studio of M.M
Description: Embo
Prefix: BH
Detachment: Bounty Hunters Guild
Context: Star Wars, The Clone Wars.

A Kyuzo Bounty Hunter, Embo embodied the term �Silent but Deadly�. A Hunter of few words, he could take out his target with staggering speed. Whether with a single shot from his bowcaster, a blow from his shield hat, or in hand-to-hand combat, Embo was a fearsome adversary. Embo was commonly seen traveling and hunting contracts with his faithful anooba named Marrok. Having worked with Boba Fett, Cad Bane and Sugi, his reputation for getting the job done at all costs was known galaxy-wide. If there�s a bounty on your head, beware of yellow glowing eyes�

During evaluation, both text and images (CRL and Reference) must be considered. When in doubt about a feature of a submitted costume, GMLs should post questions in the Legion forum's DL/GML peer review section.
