Tessek's Tale

Tessek the Quarren is Jabba's lieutenant in Tales from Jabba's Palace. Apart from that short fiction collection, he has been in only one known film or book, Return of the Jedi where we merely see him in the background, behind Luke Skywalker. He supposedly hired the drunk Gran Ree-Yees to try to kill Jabba, and Jabba has come to suspect him. Tessek was blamed for murders the alien Dannik Jerriko, one of the snot sucking Anzati had commited. Also he enlisted the help of people such as the kitchen boy and the Bubo as spies. Now, there is no telling if he's dead, because his tale does not mention it, and neither does any other book, but it says Fortuna (now a B'omarr monk) leaves him and Bubo and others in the palace and go away. But the catch was, Jerriko was inside the palace. Tessek lso makes a brief appearance in Yarna's chapter in the anthology, saying he is in command. Rumor is he is related to the infamous Pwoe a character who tries to take control of the New Republic after the death of unpopular Borsk Fey'lya, almost twenty-five years after the events of Tessek's tale. For further reading on Pwoe or Tessek, read Tales from Jabba's Palace, which has a whole chapter completely from his point of view. Pwoe is featured in many other Starwars books like the NJO series. Tessek's tale is one of the longest ones in the book, and goes into detail AbOUT how he'll die without water and Jabba trying to kill him with the heat of the desert. Overall, Tessek is a treacherous Quarren who wants to be rid of all of his superiors and not to be trusted, even by cohorts such as Bubo and Ree-Yees. The author who wrote Tessek's Tale is Dave Wolverton, author of two Starwars novels. About the Quarren Species: Tessek's species come from the same planet as Admiral Ackbar, Mon Calamari, and are looked upon with disgust by the Mon Cal. Quarren are treacherous, thus not being able to live in symbiosis with Mon Cal.
