Kusk was a bounty hunter. He was stationed aboard the bridge of the Tradewyn in 24 ABY. His actual motive aboard the ship was to capture either Raynar or Aryn Dro Thul, then escape in a ship to meet up with his brother aboard the High Roller. Luckily, his plan was foiled by Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka Djo, and he was arrested by security.
