Tearing the Rebel scum with my sharp fangs? That's my specialty.
—Fangaro "Fang" Sarklio
Fangaro Sarklio, better known by the alias Fang, was a world-renowned weasel bounty hunter from Ryloth and an expert sniper. Found abandoned from his unknown parents by various Twi'leks, Fangaro was raised by a wealthy Twi'lek family and was trained how to use numerous firearms, including blasters and thermal detonators. As he grew to a young adult, he dreamed of becoming a bounty hunter and headed to Concord Dawn of Mandalore. There, he was trained by the esteemed bounty hunter Jango Fett, who taught Fangaro everything from studying the Dark side of the Force to learning how to use his weaponry quickly on criminals, and also how to use sniping rifles.
After Fett was killed in the Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY, Fangaro soon put himself under the alias Fang, and began his career as a bounty hunter after being hired by Jabba the Hutt, and was paid very highly on his hardest missions. Fangaro's courage and bravery, coupled by the many mission Fangaro had encountered, led to Jabba honoring him as one of his favorite employees he had hired.
As the Galactic Empire emerged, Fangaro retired from Jabba's court and became an Imperial commander. During the time, he was responsible for carrying out the assassination of Queen Apailana. He also played an important role as an Imperial spy during the Galactic Civil War.
Shortly before the Battle of Pika, Fangaro joined fellow bounty hunters IG-666, Bean, and Shadow in an assassination plot to kill the Cheiftain Raichu, who was discovered by the hunters to be a Jedi Master who escaped from the Jedi Temple of Coruscant after the execution of Order 66. The hunters decided to make the assassination their hardest mission yet. As the hunters entered the palace and slaughtered many Pikachuians, they attempted to engage in a sneak attack but failed, and the trio engaged in a fateful duel with the Jedi Master's deadly tail. In that final mission, Fangaro perished in the hands of the hidden Jedi Master.
