Astariax Drago, nicknamed "the Killing Corpse" and "the Ghost of Nar Shaddaa", was a bounty hunter, mercenary, and assassin who dwelt on Nar Shaddaa and was a frequent retainer of Arba the Hutt. He was also among the very few friends of the Sith Lord Tak Sakaros, although the exact nature and origin of their association was known only to the two; it was Sakaros who recommended Drago to Arba, and the two assassins had clearly already known each other before entering the Hutt's service.
