Capsule:  Few people who know Zaltar really trust him.  Everyone else trusts him because he plays the nice guy.  It's all an act.  Zaltar is a cut-throat.  He's nasty, plain and simple.  If he has a friend it's the smuggler Callahan, but he's double-crossed Callahan so many times the smuggler now knows better than to trust the lizard.  

Little is known of Zaltars past, or even what race he is, and he doesn't talk about it.  Some say he is one of a race from the Unknown Regions simply known as 'the Others', but Zaltar admits nothing.  At least nothing that resembles the truth.  What is true is his reputation.  It is often whispered in Cantina bars that Zaltar once killed a Jedi.  It's a rumour, and a boast, that Zaltar himself maintains.  He has been associated with Phoenix Pirates now for many years.  He is a Pirate, Bounty Hunter and assassin.  He is often up front, always bossing the lower thugs around.  Despite this bluster it is rare to ever see Zaltar in a fight.  He prefer to talk his way out of conflicts rather than commit to an action that could cause himself some harm.  Zaltar values his life, often at the expense of others.

Oh, and the Jedi killer rumour... it's true!

Capsule:  Callahan is a veteran smuggler.  Plenty of people have heard of him but few know him, or even what he looks like.  The mark a good smuggler.  Callahan can seemingly shift any goods past even the most stringent of spaceport securities.  He a well spoken man with good manners.  He can deal with Hutts or Imperials with equal charm.  He trusts few people, but few people don't trust Callahan.  One person he does trust is Rees-Yum, his Gran co-pilot.  The pair have been together for many years.  Communication between them is even silent at times they know each other that well.

For several years now Callahan has been on the payroll of the Hutts and has associated with the Phoenix pirates frequently.  Amongst his many talents Callahan is also an excellent fence.  Callahan is often in the company of Zaltar, who he most certainly does not trust.  Recently The Baron Bal'al'tor of Soccorro double-crossed Callahan.  Zaltar was working for the Baron at the time.  Callahan was rescued by several Rebels with Zaltar in tow.  Callahan swears Zaltar knew that the Baron had him prisoner, but the deceptive lizard denies knowing anything about it.

If there's info on the streets Callahan knows it, though he will deny he knows anything, of course.

Zanto Bane is an old school Bounty Hunter.  Trained by Mandalorians Zanto Bane claims to have sat through the Clone Wars, he says he retired before that 'little skirmish'.  But there are many rumours of his activities working for the Seperatists.  It is true though that he 'officially' retired before the Clone Wars. 

So what could call a veteran Mandalorian out of retirement.  Money, fame, blackmail, no one knows.  But he has returned.  A grizzled old veteran who is still a formidable opponent.  He may not be as physically quick as he once was, but his wits are sharper than ever.
