Bendix Fust was a male Mordageen, employed as a smuggler by the Dug King Sebolto in the final decades of the Galactic Republic. Fust smuggled death sticks, illegal euphoria-inducing drugs, until he was captured by members of the Republic Security Force in the Gazzari system. Fust struck a deal with the agency, trading information on Sebolto's drug cartel in exchange for a reduced prison sentence. When Sebolto found out, he placed a bounty on Fust's head; the bounty hunters Zam Wesell and Jango Fett claimed the bounty by breaking the Mordageen out of the Desolation Alley maximum security prison and handing him over to the Dug.
