Tessek
Tessek
was there when Luke Skywalker
and his friends slayed Jabba
the Hutt, his previous employer; he was impressed both by
their audacity and skill. It was a lesson he took to heart. Tessek
moved swiftly to consolidate Jabba's power under his own aegis.
Things were largely at a stalemate within the civil war-torn palace
until Fabius Kane interfered
to bust out the Max
Rebo Band. Tessek captured Kane and had him slated for death
at the hands of EV-9D9.
Luckily for Tessek, Kane was rescued by the Gamorrean, Gartogg,
and later accomplished his mission. This was "Lucky"
because the damage Kane did blasting his way out with thermal
detonators largely affected Tessek's competitors. Taking advantage
of their confusion, Tessek quickly ended the civil war.
After
that, it was a matter of consolidating all of Jabba's other resources
under him. Tessek did such a good job, the new Emperor offered
him the open post of Head of Imperial Intelligence. Tessek accepted.
What he controls and what he knows now are mere speculation.
