First Appearance Black Krrsantan

Black Krssantan is a Wookiee bounty hunter active during the Galactic Empire and the New Republic eras.  Distinguishing traits include his black fur and a scar over his left eye which was received during an encounter with Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Introduced in the first issue of the Star Wars: Darth Vader title in February 2015, this character has gained considerable exposure due to an appearance on the live action series The Book of Boba Fett.  Krrsantan debut in the second episode titled The Tribes of Tatooine released on January 5, 2022.  He is one of a few characters to be introduced in comic books and appear in other Star Wars media.

In Star Wars: Darth Vader #1, Darth Vader asks Jabba the Hutt for the use of his best bounty hunters and is sent Boba Fett and Black Krrsantan.  Vader tasks Boba Fett with finding Luke Skywalker.  At this point, Vader does not know Luke's name, but does provide Fett with information to help in the search.  Black Krrsantan's mission is to bring an agent the Emperor is secretly meeting with to Vader.  Krrsantan successfully delivers the secret agent Doctor Cylo IV to Vader in issue #4.
