42. Tanis Venn: Wraid Hunter, Tatooine

Tanis Venn: a wraid hunter, living on Tatooine during the Jedi Civil War.

Akin to being a shameless womanizer, Tanis was lazy with his work, right down to the core.

Nonetheless, this burdened his wife Marlena, who repaired his droids and cleaned up his messes.

In a way, he didn't care if he killed the entire population of Wraid, no more than to test him.

Since little is known of Tanis' early life, he was known mainly as a former smuggler. After he was stripped of everything, due to a Sith Spacer crossing paths with him, Tanis turned to a life of hunting on Tatooine.

Venturing to use K-X12 battle droids, Tanis earned a sour reputation amongst his fellow hunters, including Komad Fortuna, for lack of sport that was seen.

Even his wife Marlena was warned by her mother not to marry Tanis. She eventually grew tired of his philandering ways.

Now stuck in the middle of the Dune Sea, after his wife rigged his battle droids to explode if he moved, Tanis was relieved when Revan came to his aide.

No longer having an issue with dehydration or death by explosion, Revan fixed the four battle droids, rescuing Tanis in the process. What was left for Tanis remains a mystery saved.
