Dewt Kluskine was the warden of the Imperial Correctional Facility at Kessel. Aside from being the warden of the facility, he also oversaw the illegal spice trade. He was a cruel man who delighted in mistreating the slave miners. During an escape attempt by the young Wookiee slaves, he ordered the stormtroopers to kill them all instead of stunning them. This earned him the ire of Gyylghrard.
