~9 ABY - Tribute from Mos Espa

Announced guests and collected gifts from Garfalaquox and Dokk Strassi. Watched the mayor's majordomo demand tribute instead of offering it, then urged Fett to torture two captured Gamorreans. Fett spared the Gamorreans in exchange for their loyalty.

~9 ABY - Night Wind interrogation

~9 ABY - The Hutt Twins and the mayor's evasion

Announced the Hutt Twins' arrival with a peace offering. He later interrupted Fett's rancor training to report that the mayor would be unavailable for twenty days, and Fett left at once for Mos Espa city hall.

Translated for Garfalaquox at Fett's banquet, where the Mos Espa crime families agreed to stay neutral in the conflict with the Pyke Syndicate.
