Legend

this humanoid was a known infochant who worked on the planet Coruscant some twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo. He was also a good friend of Didi Oddo, and spent a good deal of time working the halls of the Galactic Senate. A spindly man with large ears and a long face, Fligh had a green, prosthetic eye which replaced one he lost in a fight with a Hutt crimelord. Fligh was asked by Astri to find out about a dinner party which was being planned by Jenna Zan Arbor. He trailed her to the Senate Chamber, where Arbor was meeting with her friend, Senator Uta S'orn. This fit into Fligh's plans, since he had been hired by Helb and the Tech Radiers to acquire the datapad of Senator S'orn. Fligh simply stole both datapads at one time, figuring he could use Zan Arbor's datapad to get names for Astri. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, trying to help Didi located Fligh, discovered that Fligh owed a large sum of credits to the Tech Raiders, shortly before Fligh was found murdered on the Lane of All Worlds. Qui-Gon discovered that Fligh's prosthetic eye had been dislodged during the struggle, and Fligh's body was also drained completely of blood in a similar fashion to six or so other lowlifes during the preceding year. Senator S'orn's datapad was later acquired by the Tech Raiders, but Jenna Zan Arbor's pad remained missing. In a surprising turn of events, Fligh was discovered to be alive by Gui-Gon and Obi-Wan on Belasco, trying to catch up with Astri Oddo. He claimed to have faked his death, choosing to mimic the death of Ren S'orn in order to go underground and avoid being killed as a "loose end" by Jenna Zan Arbor. He later admitted that he had kept Zan Arbor's datapad after tracing the murdered lowlifes to her labs on Simpla-12. Once Zan Arbor was captured, Fligh turned to a more legitimate lifestyle after realizing that Didi had almost given his own life to save Fligh. In return, Fligh set out to help Didi and Astri renovate Didi's Caf� and restore its business. When Did retired, Fligh set out to see the galaxy. Six years after the Battle of Naboo, he found himself on Euceron, placing illegal bets on the Galactic Games. He had been surprised to learn that Aarno Dering had been hired to be the official timekeeper for several events, and agreed to work with Dering to place bets on those events which were to be rigged. Dering's death, and the appearance of Obi-Wan Kenobi, led Fligh to abandon any hope of hitting it big, and after helping the Jedi he fled back to Courscant.
