The Weequay known as Thaddeus runs a popular and violent dive-bar called the Hutt Bunker in the heart of Mos Klarius, the capital city of the desert planet of Aaru IV. The bar is a dingy place which no doubt hosts a great deal of the underworld plotting and subterfuge common on the planet, which Thaddeus seems to do nothing to prevent.
Popular rumour in Mos Klarius is that Thaddeus once ran with one of the bigger Hutt cartels, and was an agent of some repute. Yet—or so the story goes—he was betrayed once too often, and took some kind of blackmail he might use against his former employers and fled. He has been running his taverna ever since.
The primary source for these rumours is Thaddeus himself. While he has never told such a story, the slogan for the Hutt Bunker itself is “a place of splendour, but not sobriety, and mercifully free from the smelly, sweaty palms of some greasy slug brute.” Nothing quite says no Hutts allowed than this strangely eloquent statement, which flashes along the walls of his establishment in neon aurebesh. While the description refers to the native species of Nal Hutta, the title “Hutt” also originates on the same world, and so in doing so he has made the same declaration.
Thaddeus is known to enjoy a good tale, and is just as bad as his Mos Klarian contemporaries insofar as rumours and innuendo is concerned. Some say he loves starting rumours but has no interest in ever finding out if they are true. Because he knows they aren’t. Yet he tolerates the presence of the information broker Ruce Brogna within his establishment, a figure who some suggest knows everything about Aaru IV except for the true nature of Thaddeus’ personal history. The two hold a somewhat adversarial relationship, yet seem to mutually benefit from their work in the Hutt Bunker.
In a similar vein, Thaddeus also allows the Hutt liaison Zed to operate in his cantina despite ostensible ties to his apparent nemeses. Some have suggested that it is Zed’s presence which obfuscates or even protects Thaddeus from intrusion by other Hutts who may not be quite so pleased by his prior escapades.
Thaddeus has recently developed an interest in local sports of a particularly violent variety; the local pit-fights and combat matches held across the planet are beamed into the Hutt Bunker across a number of screens accessible throughout the establishment. While it is unclear what his motivations are in the presentation of such events, most suspect he runs some kind of gambling operation right under the nose of the underworld organisations who run the larger casino operations in Mos Klarius.
