Cad BaneCad Bane was a Duro bounty hunter from the planet Duro who earned a reputation as the best, deadliest and most fearsome mercenary during the Clone Wars. Although he worked for a number of clients, his loyalty was always to the credits—and by extension, to the highest bidder. Bane employed a variety of weapons and allies to ensure he always got his pay, and became the leader of his line of work after his fellow bounty hunter, Jango Fett, was killed in the opening battle of the war. war. Bane's name even caught the attention of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious, who hired him several times for his own purposes. Bane was also a rival to Separatist scientist Kul Teska, whom he stole a part of the superweapon from, leading Teska to forcibly retrieve the device from Ryloth. After being hired by the Hutts to rescue Hutt crime lord Ziro Desilijic Tiure from Republic custody on Coruscant, Bane assembled a team of hunters to capture members of the Galactic Senate and force Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to release Ziro. . After rescuing the Hutt crime lord from prison and escaping the Senate with his team, Bane dismantled his gang.
Later, hired by Darth Sidious, Bane pilfered a Jedi holocron from the Jedi Temple to unlock the Kyber memory crystal, a repository of all Force-sensitive children in the galaxy. On Devaron, he stole the crystal from Jedi Master Bolla Ropal, who sacrificed himself to protect its contents. When he was confronted by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano on his command ship, Bane separated them and took Tano hostage, forcing Skywalker to unlock the crystal with the holocron. After escaping from the Jedi, Bane continued his work for Sidious by accepting the Sith Lord's next assignment to kidnap four of the Force-sensitive children who appeared in the crystal. Using his starfighter, the Blood of Xanadu, Bane captured the Zinn Toa children and Wee Dunn and took them to Sidious' secret facility on Mustafar, but when he tried to kidnap the third child on Naboo, he was apprehended by Skywalker and Tano. After being violently interrogated by the Jedi, Bane tricked Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu into a trap at Black Stall Station, his base of operations, and used the distraction to flee their custody.
The Duros Cad Bane lived during the last decades of the Galactic Republic and hailed from the planet Duro. He sooner or later became a bounty hunter, gaining infamy and a reputation as the galaxy's preeminent mercenary operating solely for the financial rewards of his missions. His nobility ensured that he was feared by his prey. Using a number of weapons and allies, Bane worked for the highest bidder and cared little for the person who hired him or the faction he represented, as long as he was paid. His initial fee itself was quite considerable, and his loyalty to the credits was so strong that if his quarry offered him a better sum, he would not hesitate to turn on his original client. By the time Jango Fett—the bounty hunter who was considered the best in the galaxy—was killed in the opening battle of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, Bane was already quite a veteran in his line of work. With Fett out of the picture, Bane rose to be among the most notorious, ruthless, and fearsome bounty hunters operating during the war.
Bane used various locations as bases of operations, from Black Stall Station in the Rogue Antar system of the Outer Rim Territories to a secret hideout on the planet Tatooine, equipping them with several weaponized traps and a field of laser defenses to prevent them from attacking. stop their adversaries, countermeasures that no one would have been able to survive. Bane frequently worked with "underworld scum" aides in his operations; among them was the clawdite shifter Cato Parasitti, a deadly assassin who retained the same unconditional loyalty to money. Parasitti subcontracted tasks for him and recruited extra work as required] During the war, Bane made use of the Skill of the Hand, a Telgorn landing craft that he modified extensively himself and used its ion cannon to neutralize enemy ships. charges merchants. Bane's numerous encounters with Jedi caused him to respect their Force powers to some extent, though he was never intimidated by them. His work in the bounty hunting business earned him several powerful enemies, and he placed a very hefty bounty on his head.
Bane used an impressive arsenal of weapons and tools to ensure that he would be well prepared for any situation that presented itself. He carried a set of BlasTech Industries' custom programmed twin LL-30 model blaster pistols and wore a set of rapid-fire holsters made of nerf-hide slit to keep them on his waist. He also had explosives, a concealed ball, and a smaller alternate pistol as extra weapons. When necessary, he used Cortosis shots to shorten lightsabers; though cortosis was an expensive stuff and called "hell in the barrels," he took the job for granted. Among his tools was a durasteel ice pick, which he kept in his pistol belt. He also used removable cybernetic breathing tubes that were embedded in his cheekbones; they were directly connected to his windpipe, allowing him to work freely in the harshest atmospheres without requiring additional protection. Bane's durasteel magno-grip boots were equipped with mitrinomon propellants,[6] and his heavy but useful multipurpose wrist gauntlet concealed a variety of control devices, tools embedded within, and weapons, including there was a cable launcher, a comlink, data tracker, a whip, non-lethal contact stuns, and a flamethrower. Bane's equipment itself was designed to counter the abilities of Force users; his external breathing tubes they prevented him from being Force choked, and his rocket boots were to evade the speed of the Force used by the Jedi. His usual choice of clothing included a wide-brimmed hat and a robe concealing a Nashtah in a large cloak.
