Hanz was a 23rd century individual who made a living as a fur dealer for Perculator Furriers. For individuals in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants troubled by unwanted tribbles, Perculator offered to buy the animals for a fair price to be included in the company's fur production. According to an ad run in a 2280s issue of Spacelanes magazine, Hanz was the individual to be contacted for such purchases. (FASA RPG module: Spacelanes: The Magazine of Interstellar Trade)
