Hereson was a male Twi'lek who lived during the Great Galactic War - and the preceding Cold War - between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. One of the best and most famed gunslingers in the galaxy, Hereson had connections with pirates, Jedi, Hutts and Sith, and not all pleasant or friendly connections. Becoming famous for aiding the Jedi during the Great Galactic War, his skills with a blaster earned him jobs from every crime lord in the galaxy.
