Biography[]
Reelo Baruk was a male Rodian gangster who was associated with the Hutts and with the powerful crime lord of Tatooine Jabba the Hutt. He was living in Jabba's Palace on Tatooine but after Jabba's death he moved to Nar Shaada where he owned a bar and soon became a powerful crime lord himself there. He had several thugs of different species working for him and his reputation made him known both in the criminal underworld as well the circles of the New Galactic Rpublic and the Imperial Remants.
He started to work the Imperial Reborn led by Dark Jedi Desann and his partner Admiral Galak Fyyar. He made a deal with them and was tasked with supplying the Imperials with thugs in order to take over the carbonite freezing chambers of Bespin, which soon made him en enemy of Lando Calrissian, the Administrator of Bespin and a member of the New Republic. Lando was soon imprisoned by Reelo in Nar Shaada. When Kyle Katarn, who was after Desann, learned from Luke Skywalker that Desann had been working with Reelo, he traveled to Nar Shaada in order to find more information. There he encountered Lando and helped him to escape. Kyle Katarn fought and killed most of Reelo's thugs before facing the boss himself. Baruk tried to kill Katarn using a gun platform, but was soon shot and killed by him.
