- "Think you brought enough guns, Holaq?"
"Honestly…no. Three low-level clans got hit last week. Three. And all by him. No survivors, Uro. None." - ―Uro and Holaq
Uro was a Ualaq Aqualish associated with the Hidden Hand criminal syndicate during the Imperial Era. In 1 BBY, Uro talked with the Weequay criminal Holaq on the world Fikari. When the Sith Lord Darth Vader arrived on the world during his search for the Hidden Hand, the Aqualish was killed by the Sith Lord alongside several other associates, including Holaq.
Biography[]
- "He has a name, y'know. You sound like a child afraid of a bedtime story."
"Except he ain't a story." - ―Uro and Holaq, discussing Darth Vader
Uro was a Ualaq Aqualish who had done business with the Hidden Hand criminal syndicate at some point.[2] In 1 BBY,[1] while residing in the Lower Bay Docks on the Outer Rim world of Fikari, Uro conversed with fellow criminal Holaq, asking if the Weequay had brought enough firearms. Holaq exclaimed that the Sith Lord Darth Vader had attacked a number of clans that had been in contact with the Hidden Hand and left no survivors. Uro, unfazed, replied that it was the cost of working with the criminal syndicate, but stated that this also provided a benefit to the syndicate's clients as deals with the Hidden Hand and its contacts were kept anonymous.[2]
Uro converses with Holaq on Fikari, while a guard behind them is pulled back and killed by Darth Vader.
As the two continued talking while walking, Holaq asserted that the syndicate's days were numbered as Vader was hunting them down. As the Aqualish accused the Weequay of being afraid of the Sith Lord, Uro heard a noise and quickly alerted Holaq. Unbeknownst to the two criminals, Vader, who had arrived at the docks searching for information on the Hidden Hand, had slaughtered the docks' guards. Standing behind Holaq, Uro was suddenly pulled back by the Sith's Force powers and killed, while Holaq continued scanning the surrounding area, unaware of the Aqualish's demise. Vader then proceeded to interrogate and kill Holaq.[2]
Personality and traits[]
- "They pay for silence, and pay through shadows and fronts to keep that silence. We don't know them. They don't know us. Perfect deal."
- ―Uro, on the Hidden Hand's anonymity
As a four-eyed Aqualish, Uro had gray skin, gray hair, and yellow eyes. Uro enjoyed the benefit of working with the Hidden Hand as deals conducted with the syndicate were kept anonymous. Unlike Holaq, the Aqualish did not fear Vader upon hearing the stories of the Sith Lord eliminating clans who worked with the Hidden Hand.[2]
Equipment[]
Uro wore gray pants and a black shirt underneath a brown jacket and a green cape.[2]
