Legend

this Clawdite shapeshifter made a living on the planet Aargau, during the last decades of the Old Republic, assuming the guise of a helpful Bimm in order to help unknowing individuals recover their fortunes from Aargau's banks. Nuri agreed to help the individuals reach the Undercity, where he assured them that cheaper and less obvious methods of making withdrawals could be found. In this way, Nuri gained the confidence of young Boba Fett just weeks after the Battle of Geonosis. Once Nuri delivered the individual to an access machine, he withdrew his own "small" commission - usually a large percentage of the individual's fortunes - then left them stranded in the Undercity. Boba Fett encountered Nuri again on Xagobah, during the search for Wat Tambor. Fett, now thirteen, and discovered that it was Nuri who helped Tambor escape from prison, and was now helping to guard his fortress of Xagobah. In a brief struggle, Boba Fett managed to disarm Nuri and force him to reveal Tambor's exact location by drugging him with the poison of a xabar fungus. Unfortunately, the xabar had been among those altered by Wat Tambor, and Nuri was immediately rendered rigid and unconscious. All his body functions were reduced to bare minimum levels, and he appeared to be dead.
