Akris Ur'etu was a wealthy male Bothan crime lord who, at a relatively young age, became head of the criminal organization known as the Skar'kla Consortium. The consortium had several Hutt rivals, one of whom arranged for an enforcer to dress as a Jedi and interfere with Skar'kla operations before hunting down and killing the Bothan without anyone suspecting the Hutts. Ur'etu hired the Duros Bounty hunter Cad Bane to stop the imposter; Bane, however, allowed the hunter to find and kill Ur'etu using several pieces of technology designed to mimic Force abilities.
