Cad Bane was an experienced Duros bounty hunter during the Clone Wars. Bane earned a reputation as the galaxy's best, deadliest, and most fearsome mercenary during the Clone Wars. Though Bane worked for a number of clients, his loyalty was ultimately to credits—and by extension, the highest bidder. Bane employed a variety of weapons and allies to ensure that he always got his pay, and he became the leader in his line of work after fellow bounty hunter Jango Fett perished in the opening battle of the war. Bane's renown even attracted the attention of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious, who employed him numerous times for his own means.
