Nik Hepho was a Britarro male who worked as a bounty hunter during the reign of the Galactic Empire. He specialized in hunting members of the outlawed Church of the Force and, after working in the Inner Rim and on the planet Coruscant, traveled to the moon Jedha to hunt down more suspected adherents. Hepho was present in Jedha City shortly before it was destroyed by the Empire's Death Star superweapon.
