Lupo Shar was an unscrupulous Twi'lek denizen of Nar Shaddaa who, circa 3951 BBY, began taking advantage of all the rich-merchant and naïve-foreigner traffic there by fixing the planetary swoop races. After being hounded by the Exchange for their cut of the profits, Lupo found a way to fix the races and keep every last credit: by going "legit."
