Melvin Fett

Melvin Fett was a Human male Mandalorian bounty hunter from Concord Dawn and was the son Merad Fett, a veteran of the Great Clan Wars who was the lost brother of Jango Fett.

History
Melvin was born around the onset the Clone Wars and raised in his father's remote farm. When his father died in 6 BBY fighting Imperials, Melvin - still a teenager - decided to stop tending to the farm and, wearing a set of Mandalorian armor salvaged from a nearby battlefield, took to the galaxy as a bounty hunter. His bounty hunting career was brief, as he failed in virtually every hunt and quickly developed a reputation among in his chapter of the Bounty Hunters Guild as being clumsy and untrained. After yet another failed hunt after Gungan senator Jar Jar Binks on Tatooine, Melvin returned to the Mandalore sector and enlisted in the Journeyman Protectors, where he received proper training and went about helping the Mandalorian resistance against the Imperial occupation. The majority of his military career was spent in scout missions that saw very little combat; his incompetence was made well known to his peers, but he maintained his position as he was a skilled combatant and had an entertaining character.

Death and legacy
Following the end of his embarrassing bounty hunting stint, Melvin became a severe alcoholic. This caught up to him in 1 BBY, when he got into a drunken melee fight with two peers at their encampment, resulting in Melvin getting fatally stabbed in the neck by a vibroknife. The stabber was punished, although his acquaintence was not.

A somewhat popular comic book was published about Melvin's humorous hijinks years after his death by a relative of a freedom fighter who fought alongside Melvin, which was even found on shelves on some New Republic worlds.
