Erlik

"The benefit to creating the laws is that you find yourself above them."

- Governor Erlik

Erlik was the Hutt Cartel-appointed Governor of Tatooine during the Invasion of Ondos. Prior to his service in the Cartel, Erlik fought as a rebel against the Hutts during the Rim Wars, but he changed his allegiances after the Hutts won and the war ended.

Making his way through the Hutt ranks, Erlik's ambition grew in the hopes of becoming a member of the inner circle of Jabba the Hutt, the leader of the Cartel, on Nal Hutta. Erlik was appointed Governor of Tatooine, making him the personal representative of Jabba on the planet. His brutal rule led the people of Tatooine to call him "Erlik the Exterminator" and the Tatooinians did not forgive him for changing his allegiances after the war.
