Luthus Ferlani was the criminal leader of the Ferlani family on the planet Esseles, during the waning years of the Old Republic and on into the New Order. He spent most of his career representing the Ferlani family on business trips throughout the Darpa sector and within Hutt Space. Outwardly, Luthus was a respectable and kindly gentleman. However, he was easily angered and could be terrifying in his outbursts. His subordinates were quick to see to his bidding, in fear of being punished. Luthus and his family owned the famous Togatto Speedway on Esseles.
